Curious Cook: Food trends after Christmas

Next year, the pandemic will continue to delay the return to restaurant dining and encourage more healthy homecooking but it’s unlikely insect eating will take off. Photo: 123rf.com

It is difficult to focus on Christmas this year especially as most of the EU countries are going deeper and deeper into lockdown mode against the coronavirus. In many parts of several European countries, Christmas is now effectively cancelled, at least the gatherings of family and friends that we normally associate with this time of the year.

I have reviewed some recent writings about food trends for next year and selected some of the more plausible/interesting ideas. By next year, most people would have adapted to the circumstances imposed by the preventive vigilance against Covid-19 and hopefully life would then be less of an upheaval.
