Food trends, like any other, come and go. Some, (ahem) the pizza cone, I can't be bothered with. But others prove more exciting and harder to resist.
Here is a list of My 5 Fave Food Trends of the Moment.
1. Seasonal Sodas: Over the weekend at an outdoor flea market, I indulged in a farm-fresh fruit soda flavored with ripe-for-the-picking Rhubarb and Thai Basil. At $4 a cup, being trendy can be PRICY! But the refreshing, pleasantly sweet (and high-fructose-corn-syrup-free) taste was admittedly worth every sip. To make your own concoctions at home, go here.
2. Haute-Baked Pretzels: In restaurants across the country, pretzels are finding their way into bread baskets, occupying real estate in the appetizer section of menus, and even transforming into buns for hot dogs. And M&Ms has even announced it as their latest, greatest flavor. This all sits very well with me because it can only be the harbinger of a mustard trend—and you know that’s when things will really get crazy.
