We're almost halfway through 2012, so we've got a fair idea about what are/ will be the food trends for this year.
3. Home Cooking. A trend that is rising due to rising food prices and a rise in a number of home cooks who are wiling to experiment with ingredients and cuisines. This trend has also been aided by avid watchers of cooking shows who try the recipes at home instead of going out. I will help this trend as well by posting recipes on my blog in the near future.
4. Chips Made From Unusual Vegetables. The crunchy and universally accepted texture of chips make it a popular snack. Food enthusiasts are now experimenting with the ingredients used to make chips. Potatoes are generally the only vegetable related to chips. Plantain chips are popular in India and have been consumed by Indians for more than a century. Vegetables like kale, eggplant and lotus root are being used as well. Zucchini chips would make a good garnish for a risotto.
1.Contrasting Flavours. The sweet and salty caramel that French chefs have loved for ages has set the base for this new trend. A boost was given to this sweet and salty flavour when Starbucks and Häagen-Dazs started using caramel in a variety of their products. Other foods exhibiting the contrasting flavour scheme are bacon candy and chili/ginger infused ice creams.
2. Nose to Tail Dining. Nose to Tail Dining was previously a trend only followed by Eskimos who utilised every part of the body of the animals they killed. Due to ethical reasons Nose to Tail Dining is picking up all around the world. Pork is used very often in this type of dining. Slow cooked nose and pork tongue are finding their lovers around the world. Towards the tail, bacon can be used in every meal, including desert.
