food trends 2023

We have researched and compiled the top 4 food trends that we predict will make an appearance in 2023. Read on to find out more...

Butter Boards

This new Tiktok trend has gone viral and resembles the aesthetic of a cheese board and a charcuterie board. Essentially, it is a wooden board with soft butter smothered all over it, has sprinkles of salts, herbs, vegetables and spices and then pieces of bread are used to scoop it up. The butter boards are popular as they are shared and enjoyed at social gathering's and parties and are considered a meat-free equivalent of a charcuterie board.

For a classic Butter Board idea, we recommend flakey sea salt, pepper, fresh mint, ground coriander, ground cardamom, basil, honey, lemon zest and edible flowers prepped on our recommended Wooden Boards.

Seaweed

The demand of seaweed is slowly rising in the catering and hospitality industry due to its nutritional benefits and unique taste. Seaweed is packed full with protein, iodine, fiber and vitamins A, B and E. If you are wanting to impress your healthy eating customers, then using seaweed in your dishes is the way forward. The 3 most popular seaweeds used for cooking are:

  • Wakame: Also known as sea mustard which is usually found in miso soup or a side dish.
  • Kombu: Cooked in water with bonito flakes, kombu is the main ingredient of dashi, the soup stock that is the foundation of many Japanese dishes.
  • Nori: roasted and pressed into sheets to wrap sushi rolls and rice balls.
  • A simple but powerful dish we recommend is the Japanese Seaweed Salad (Wakame) that can be paired with sushi or Asian soup and plated on Steelite Melamine Zen Black Round Bowl.

    Snail Eggs

    Snail eggs are becoming increasing popular in fine dining restaurants and has replaced traditional caviar. Snail eggs are considered to taste earthy and have a bigger crunch than caviar and are just as expensive as fish eggs as this type of caviar is labour-intensive and heavy manual work. The most common way of serving snail caviar is with blinis, sour cream and champagne as well as soups, desserts, salads or an ingredient of a main dish.

    One recipe we recommend is snail caviar, tuna, avocado, vanilla, chili and lime served on Dalebrook Pigment Melamine Noir Round Crackle Glaze Plate.

    Retro Food

    According to whateverbrands.com, almost 70% of consumers reported they are likely to buy a favourite nostalgic food or beverage. Whether its a vintage snack, dessert, savoury dish or sweets, consumers are trying to walk down memory lane. Chefs and restaurants can use this to their advantage and create well-loved classics. A few examples are:

  • Yorkshire Curd Tart
  • Deep Fried Mozzarella
  • Tuna Melt
  • Deviled Eggs
  • Bread Pudding
  • Angel Delight Cheesecake
  • Beef Stroganoff
  • Shepherds Pie
  • For all these examples, we recommend plating them up on Churchill's Retro Range.
