Join our table
RCA is defined by its members' passion to move the industry forward.
As RCA President Jaime Mestan, CRC, said on page 4, the year
ahead holds many opportunities and we are ready to add more " place
settings " to our table. Here are a few members commenting on why
they decided to pull up a chair and join the RCA.
" RCA has always fostered a community of highly
educated professionals, a social network for
sharing information and a multitude of motivated
individuals who look to create better eating
experiences for a vast array of consumers.
The organization helps me stay informed of
industry trends, as well as providing countless
opportunities to connect with food industry
professionals at a local and global level.
Being part of this community has elevated my
professional and personal lives in so many ways; it's
my pleasure to be part of it. "
-Junnie Lai, Principal, Global Cuisine Consulting, LLC
" Being an RCA student member
while pursuing my master's degree
has better prepared me for joining
the industry. As a member, I have
had the honor of competing in the
Evolution of Food Waste and the
Student Culinology competitions,
and connected with members
through networking at regional
events. The knowledge, resources
and connections I have gained
through my time as a member thus far are priceless. "
-Dianna Wilson, Master's Student and Graduate Assistant,
Mississippi State University
" When I think about the positive impact I've gained by actively
engaging with the RCA as a member, one of the biggest benefits
I have found is in the fellowship and growth mindset
that comes with building your know-how through
networking and mentoring. I especially appreciate
the opportunity to mentor as it allows me to learn
about new people, processes and products -
all of which I might not have experienced, had
I not given myself the opportunity to engage
with and learn from a diverse and active RCA
member. "
-Chef Wiley Bates, III, Director of Culinary/
Chief Food Dude, Main Event

Complex flavors
from classic
culinary techniques
ADM's Culinary Crafted food base
solutions are made from real food that
is slow-roasted, braised and/or sweated
and then reduced to concentrate for
maximum taste impact. Classical
cooking methods allow the flavor to be
extracted naturally and then pureed,
resulting in a multi-dimensional taste
system that imparts cooking cues like
caramelized, seared and charred to core
meat, vegetable and spice/herb profiles.
When incorporated into ready meal,
sauce and soup formulations that are
kettle-cooked, the concentrated blends
add complexity and depth of flavor,
simulating small-batch home cooking.
The blends may also be top-noted
with natural flavors for more nuanced
flavor delivery. ADM's portfolio includes
poultry, beef, pork, seafood, bacon,
dairy, vegetable, pepper and spice/herb
food base systems that are available in
refrigerated or frozen pastes, and dry
powders. Vegetarian and vegan options
also are available.
