5 Food Trends in 2017
- Poke
This isn’t the Facebook function you use to annoy your friends. Poke is a Hawaiian dish that made its way onto the scene in 2016. Don't expect it to go away in 2017, as this dish offers good eats for everyone. It comes with marinated ahi tuna over rice with avocado, onions, cucumber, seaweed, and sesame seeds.
- Gravity-Defying Cake
A gravity-defying cake is made just like any other cake, but it's the presentation that makes it different. These cakes give the illusion of candy being poured from above and spilled onto the surface and down the sides. Here's a sweet cake recipe to try at home and to impress at parties.
- Chocolate Banana Pudding
What could make banana pudding even better? The answer is chocolate, lots of chocolate. Thanks to Magnolia Bakery, expect its popular banana pudding made with chocolate wafers, chocolate pudding and bananas to be replicated in mass.
- Filipino Dishes
Filipino food is making a comeback, starting with dishes like lumpia egg rolls and pork belly. If you like Filipino food, you might see fish-sauce rice porridge with chicken and ginger becoming a food trend this year.
- Savory Yogurt
Yogurt has had the sweet treatment for years. In 2017, it gets the savory treatment. With new flavor profiles, including carrot, ginger, and pistachios, veggie-based yogurts might be a real hit in 2017.
