Last week we looked to Innova Marketing Insights for their predictions on what’s hot and what’s not for the coming year – this week we turn to Packaged Facts and Mintel for their trends and we end off with highlights from Food24 and a few of our local, South African chefs.
It’s the start of a new year and as is normal at this time of the year, publications around the world begin predicting their food trends for the coming 12 months. Part art, part science, and influenced by a number of factors ranging from fashion and pop culture to health trends, we all wait with great anticipation (and sometimes amusement) to see what these ground-breaking new trends may be.
Saveur is a gourmet, food, wine and travel magazine that focuses on global cuisine. Considered one of the most respected publications in the culinary world, it annually rates the world’s best food blogs, and this year finalists flew in from as far afield as Poland, India and Hong Kong to spend two days in Charleston, SC whilst the winners were decided. If you’re interested in what’s trending and who you should be following for your foodie fill – here are a few of the proud winners.
