2020 was such a year. But, thanks to food TikToks and Reels, trying new food trends was a highlight for a lot of us while we had ample time at home. From March to December, we got more creative and innovative in the kitchen. From Onion-Cake to Banana bread, these are our favourite food trends of 2020. How many have you tried?
- Dalgona Coffee
Dalgona coffee, known commonly on TikTok as whipped coffee, will go down in history as the first viral food trend of the pandemic. The recipe involves whipping instant coffee with sugar and hot water until it gets a fluffy texture, poured over some milk it sure makes for one unique drink!
- Banana Bread
Remember the warm, sweet smell of baked banana bread distracting us from the chaos of 2020? Days of waiting for your bananas to ripen so you could try out all the variations TikTok made available to us? This is definitely one of the less outrageous food trends of 2020, but magnificent, nonetheless.
- Pickling and Preserving
Onions, cucumbers (literal pickles!), beets, peppers, carrots, onions! We pickled everything!
- Hyperrealistic Cake
This one was a doozy. Is that a carton of eggs, or is it cake? Is that a burger, or is it cake? Is that a human, or is it cake? From Twitter and Youtube to Instagram and TikTok every image we saw between April and May 2020 we had to ask ourselves, is it cake?
- Hot Chocolate Bombs
Hot chocolate bombs were the food trend of Winter 2020. Warm milk and a huge ball of milk chocolate, marshmallow goodness? Yes, please!
