For the second year in a row: the Food Innovation Fun Tear-Off Calendar!
What started last year as a “I-don’t-have-the-right-structure-for-my-book-Mastering Food Innovation-yet-but-I-do-have-a-lot-of-food-innovation-business-humour-that-doesn’t-fit-into-my-(serious)-book-so-I’ll-just-make-a-calendar” has now turned into a WORKACTION tradition.
Rebellious, Spicy & Challenging
While the first edition played it safe, the second edition is far more rebellious. It features new categories such as Food Fiascos & Fuck-Ups, where I guide you through 52 failed innovations and food scandals; the Kitchen of Curiosity, which challenges you weekly with inspiring creative prompts; and Food Innovation BUZZwords, where I poke fun at every buzzword in the world of food and innovation. Of course, the themed food days, Mary’s Golden Nuggets and spicy Food Quotes are back too. Want a sneak peek? Check out the PREVIEW attached.
Limited Stock, No Reprints
Last year, I released a second print due to unexpected success. This year, it’s one print run only. Once it’s sold out, it’s really sold out. So make sure you get your copy (NL & BE only) via the link below, and it’ll land on your doorstep in December. Ordering 10 or more? I’ll personally deliver them to you.
