  • Local produce – more and more people are committed to the principle of “go global, stay local”, which means that more and more restaurants will choose the produce offered by local farmers over ingredients that must travel halfway around the globe to get to the kitchen table. As a result, restaurants change their menus seasonally and serve dishes prepared from ingredients that are available locally.
  • Unusual ingredients – exotic flowers used as ornaments, powdered oysters added to spice up dishes, even insects, such as fried ants are increasingly used by chefs to make their dishes unique.
  • Fermented food – the relatively recent discovery that pickles and dishes prepared using fermented ingredients such as miso soup or kimchi are rich in probiotics and they promote the health of the digestive tract have made these foods and ingredients extremely popular lately and the trend is here to stay as well.
  • Non-traditional cuts of meat – until recently, many valuable and delicious parts of livestock were wasted. More and more chefs and diet experts recognize the value in these unusual cuts, such beef liver or kidneys and are setting the trend with new recipes.
