The Coolest Food Trends That Are Taking the World by Storm

Naked Cakes

Bakers are holding back on the frosting with this new wedding dessert trend. Instead of frosting the outside of the cake with layers upon layers of fondant or buttercream, this bare cake trend involves increasing the filling between tiers and leaving layers exposed, for a fresh and delicious look. After all "it's what on the inside that counts."

Cold Brew Coffee

Ironically, cold brew coffee has become the hot new trend offering coffee geeks fresh nuances in flavour. Any coffee aficionado can note the distinctive taste profiles that distinguish cold brew coffee by soaking coffee grounds in cold water from a hot cup of conventionally-brewed java. To top it all, Starbucks has introduced Nitro and Vanilla Sweet Cream cold brews where coffee is steeped using cool water, unlike traditional iced coffee that's made by pouring hot coffee over ice.

Gluten Free Flours

People are going gaga over these gluten free flours from ancient grains, legumes or nuts. It is a whole new dimension of flavours yielding delicious results such as chickpea flour crepes or coconut flour muffins.

Hand Rolled Tea

The flavor of hand rolled tea is thick, dense, and intense, but without an edge. The softened tea leaves are rolled, pressed or twisted to break the cell walls of the leaf, wringing out the juices inside. Though, it is labour intensive and time consuming, it delivers a superior product and has a wonderful flavour that can be a treat for the senses.

Home Made Liqueur

Home brewed alcohol is the next best thing. The trend for all things natural has inspired people to experiment with raw produce.This is not about making alcohol from scratch but infusing store-bought bases (vodka or brandy) with fruits,vegetables, herbs, nuts and spices.Try making a concoction of your own. There has also been a rise in herbal liqueurs.

Dehydrated Foods

With grown up flavour combinations, dehydrated foods make for convenient, healthier, less sugary snacking options and help preserve foods and concentrate their flavors. From dehydrated fruits like mango and apricot to sweet potato chips, this has taken gourmet food to new heights.

Birch Water

Tapped straight from the trunk of organic birch trees, this divine infusion is a great alternative to high sugar drinks. To give it a variety of flavour, various organic extracts are infused into the original sap. Other kinds include maple water and walnut water. It feels like drinking from the tree!
