McCormick & Co recently released its 2013 "Flavor Forecast" which predicts that American menus next year will include global flavors such as katsu, a tangy sauce from Japan, cajeta, a Mexican milk caramel and dukkah, a Middle Eastern blend of spices. "Not only is dukkah rich and savory, but it's also got this great textural aspect to it, which is really important when it comes to food and flavor," said executive chef Kevan Vetter of the toasted nut, cumin, coriander and sesame seed mixture.
