If 2020 was all about sourdough bread and Dalgona coffee, 2021 was about ordering lots of take out. But what’s in store for 2022? Pinterest just shared their food trend predictions for the coming year based off of their search data, and there are lots of tasty new things in store for us all. Their Pinterest Predicts for 2022 includes categories like beauty, travel, and parenting, but we’re especially interested in the Food and Beverage section. What will your refrigerator have in store for you this year? It’s going to be wonderfully tasty, if Pinterest’s predictions come true.
Afternoon Tea
Tea parties are on the up and up. Maybe it’s because we’re all craving more coziness in our lives these days, but whatever the case, searches for vintage tea party ideas were up a whopping 70 percent this year, as were searches for butterfly pea tea, which changes color when you add lemon juice.
Altbashes
What’s an Altbash? It’s something that deserves to be celebrated, even if it isn’t traditionally cause for a party. Think: you quit your job, the kids moved out, you had a breakup, you adopted a pet, or you finally splurged on a Smart TV. These are celebrations of new chapters in life and important milestones that aren’t covered by the basic celebrations we grew up having, but it’s time they got their due.
Ancestral Recipes
Family recipes are back in, and people are searching for traditional foods to make at home. Searches for Norwegian traditional recipes, authentic Filipino recipes, traditional Russian food, traditional Arabic food, and South African recipes all saw big jumps over the past year. Try your hand at Filipino pancit or Russian piroshki this winter and you’ll be thanking your global elders for their classic recipes.
Cakes
Sorry to pie people, but it looks like 2022 is the year of the cakes. Maybe we’re all sick of working with yeasted dough, or maybe it’s the fact that a cake is a food you usually make to feed a crowd, something many of us are desperate for after a couple years of meals for one or two. Searches for 3D cakes, unusual cakes, art cake ideas, and bubble cakes have all seen big boosts in popularity – after all, what’s an altbash without an altcake?
