But what are the latest trends on the scene?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>TikTok food<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the past year, TikTok has been a hotbed for rising food trends. Through the app we saw more cloud bread, banana bread, whipped coffee, and cream cheese on bell peppers. And all of these have become a foodie \u2018thing\u2019 around the globe. Not that any of them weren\u2019t something before! But TikTok has a powerful way of turning things into trends that many people will follow.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So what can we expect from TikTok in the next few months? &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, we reckon breakfasts will take off in a bigger way. Take pancake cereal, for instance. It&#8217;s&nbsp;already gained traction over the last year as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.insider.com\/how-to-make-pancake-cereal-tiktok-trend-2020-5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">craze on TikTok<\/a>, but in the next few months we reckon you\u2019ll see more fresh, organic and health-boosting cereals shared by influencers on the platform.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Virtual cooking classes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Eating in has become the new going out. And bringing the restaurant experience to your home is so much easier thanks to leading British Chefs like Tom Aikens. <a href=\"https:\/\/tomaikens.co.uk\/cookery-classes-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Online cooking classes are now available with Tom<\/a> and you can treat yourself to some delicious British classics such as Tom\u2019s Fish and Chips, Apple and Berry Crumble and Grilled Plaice, Capers and Brown Shrimp Sauce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Nutrition hacking<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, a lot of people are looking to boost their immune health. And they\u2019re giving greater attention to getting the right levels of nutrition.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Protein is often a priority, with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foodingredientsfirst.com\/news\/nutrition-hacking-innovation-takes-protein-enrichment-across-categories.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">8 out of 10 global meal replacements claiming<\/a> to be \u201chigh in protein\u201d. Protein-powered food and drink offers a convenient way for customers to get the hit of immunity-boosting health they really want.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, with so much more customer-autonomy coming into play, personalisation of dietary health is becoming ever-more important. What does this mean for food businesses? Expect greater demand for customisation and food curation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Korean fusion pizza<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Kimchi (that is, fermented vegetables) has come into its own in recent years. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And this staple tradition of Korea\u2014often eaten for breakfast, lunch and dinner\u2014is a key feature of a new wave of Korean fusion pizza arriving in London. Sourdough pizza and craft beer brand Four Hundred Rabbits has teamed up with street food vendor On the Bab and created \u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bighospitality.co.uk\/Article\/2020\/02\/20\/The-Lowdown-Fusion-pizza-including-Korean-pizza-Pizza-Pilgrims-La-Fonduta-Pizza-Hut-and-KFC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">London\u2019s first Korean pizza<\/a>\u2019. And we think that\u2019s pretty exciting.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And if you\u2019re a die-hard Korean food fan, expect demand for <a href=\"https:\/\/mykoreankitchen.com\/bulgogi-pizza\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bulgogi<\/a> (Korean BBQ beef) pizza to explode in the next few months too.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>English wines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>English wineries aren\u2019t new. But where the soil in counties like Kent and Sussex offers very similar conditions to what you can find in France (mixed with a touch of global warming), English wine is being produced in far greater quantities than before.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plus, with Covid recovery and a growing trend in supporting local businesses, there\u2019s no better time to support those homegrown producers of what are, quite frankly, exceptional wines.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, expect to see <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thedrinksbusiness.com\/2021\/01\/top-10-food-and-drink-trends-for-2021\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">funky flavours<\/a>, colourful bottles, canned wines, and our favourite the delicious Bacchus appear on many wine orders in 2021.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Closing thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So that\u2019s it \u2013 the top food trends that are on the rise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And don\u2019t forget, if your business needs to monitor its own food trends, our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.grafterr.com\/uk\/industries\/restaurants-epos?utm_source=Grafterr+Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog+Article&amp;utm_campaign=Article+Link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">restaurant epos software<\/a> provides the means to track metrics across your key touchpoints.
