With about a week left in 2010 (and a few shopping days before Christmas), it is time to consider the food trends forecasted for next year.
My favorite list of those I’ve seen is the James Beard Foundation’s list. Among the trends they see on the horizon are upscale junk food and tartare, though my favorite pick of theirs is paired specialty breads and butters.
Nation’s Restaurant News, an industry publication about food service, makes some interesting predictions, including restaurants that focus on a single ingredient such as peanut butter. Other interesting predictions included a Scandinavian influence on food, artisan popsicles and fried “once obscure” vegetables.
SF7x7 declares that grits are making a comeback as a staple starch.
And in 2011, the big news is that pie is the new cupcake.
These may not be trend forecasts, as much as they are wishes, but here’s what I think should trend in 2011:
Coffee cake as an occasion
Tracing the genealogical roots of family food favorites
Entertaining during brunch more often
Ice cream cakes/ice cream cupcakes
Cooking and baking in small batches
What do you think are trends for 2011?
