WHAT’S TRENDING? #FOOD!

Well well, the heat is catching up and making the daytime pretty lazy, isn’t it? But don’t worry, we have enough to keep you charged up because we believe that there is nothing better than food to charge anyone up, not just as a necessity, but as a passion.

For many, this time of the year marks new beginnings because of the start of the financial year and I want to take it as an opportunity to talk about some new food trends that have emerged and some that are on the horizon.

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in plant-based diets, sustainability, and ethnic cuisine These trends show no signs of slowing down, but there are also some exciting new developments in the food world to keep an eye on One of the most interesting trends is the growing popularity of alternative proteins This includes not only plant-based options like tofu, tempeh, and seitan but also more unconventional sources like insects and lab-grown meat While these options are still not mainstream, they are gaining traction as more people become interested in reducing their environmental impact and improving their health.

Another trend that is gaining momentum is the use of AI and machine learning in the food industry. These technologies are being used to develop new recipes, predict consumer preferences, and improve supply chain efficiency. This is an exciting development that has the potential to revolutionize the way we think about food.

Of course, it wouldn't be a food trends roundup without mentioning the ongoing interest in sustainability. This includes everything from reducing food waste to sourcing ingredients from local and organic farms As consumers become more aware of the impact of their food choices on the planet, we can expect to see even more emphasis on sustainable practices in the food industry

Finally, ethnic cuisine continues to be a major trend in the food world Whether it's Korean barbecue, Mexican street food, or Israeli cuisine, consumers are increasingly interested in trying new and exotic flavours This is a trend that is likely to continue as more people travel and are exposed to different cultures and cuisines

Overall, there is much to look forward to in the world of food and hospitality and as always in the magazine too. From new restaurants to explore and staycation options to meeting the people who rule this world of food and hospitality, it's our aim to bring you nothing but the best. Enjoy the read!
