For the winter 2025 issue of Infuse magazine, crafted for our clients the Caterfood Buying Group, we leaned into the cosy, comforting core of catering.

Infuse magazine isn’t aimed at home cooks, it’s built for catering professionals. Chefs juggling 200-plate Saturday services, caterers planning seasonal menus for schools or care homes, food-service buyers hunting for inspiration.

Seasonal content

Our team of in-house journalists and designers are always planning content with this specific B2B audience in mind. With every issue we’re thinking seasonally and commercially, showcasing Caterfood’s product ranges, while also creating a print product with real editorial value

Inside the winter issue

In the winter issue we led with a beautiful feature all about the nation’s favourite pastry dish – pies. Featuring an exclusive recipe for a New Forest Venison Pie as well as tips on achieving the perfect pastry, new trends and a spotlight on one of Caterfood’s suppliers.

We also scoured forecast reports and consulted the experts to unearth the top culinary trends for 2026 and how chefs and caterers could incorporate them into their menus and dining experiences. We looked ahead to Pancake Day (17th Feb 2026 – mark your calendars, people!) and served up Good, Better and Best recipe suggestions that went way beyond the basic lemon and sugar crêpe.

Alongside this we chatted to top chef Tom Cenci about kitchen pressure, got creative with the humble date and explored the many possibilities of béchamel sauce; blending creativity with cost-effective catering.

The print process

Ideation, planning, commissioning, writing, photography, food styling, illustration and layout – the Infuse team at The Content Emporium look after the entire print process, delivering on deadline and always with one eye on the next issue (yes, we’re in the middle of spring 2026 already).

Feast your eyes on the full winter issue of Infuse magazine. It’ll warm you up nicely. In need of editorial support? We’d love to hear from you.
