The Food Channel's Top Ten Trends for 2009
Food Trends to Help You Prepare for the New Economy
Posted by Editor from The Food Channel®
The Food Channel® presents its Top Ten Food Trends for 2009. The list is based on research conducted by The Food Channel in conjunction with the World Thought Bank found at www.neemee.com, and the International Food Futurists™. Here’s what to look for in the new year:
1. Home on the Range – The return to home cooking is no big surprise. In a downsized economy, people will be spending more time eating at home. The difference is, they know a lot more about cooking than they used to and want to apply that knowledge in the new economy. They’ll be learning more about cooking and flavors, turning to online sites and TV cooking shows, taking cooking classes, and sharing family recipes.
• Expect to see more about slow and unattended cooking (Crockpot 2.0) and meals that offer convenience with economy and flavor.
• Look for Wii and other cooking gaming vehicles that are both fun and instructional.
2. Foodie 2.0 – People want a community around food, and they are getting it on the virtual hearth.
• More visitors to food websites with direct-to-Internet TV and greater interactivity; iPhone apps related to food and other mobile interaction.
• Twitter exchanges, amateur restaurant reviewers on Yelp, and recipe widgets all take center stage.
• The non-virtual community picks up too, though, with people returning to potlucks, cooperatives, food bartering and bulk buying/sharing.
