The Best and Worst Cooking Trends of the Year

Every year, new cooking trends take over social media, while some old favorites fade away. Some trends improve our kitchens, while others… well, they should stay in the past. Here are the best and worst cooking trends of the year!

🥇 The Best Cooking Trends

1. Homemade Everything 🍞
More people are making bread, pasta, and even butter from scratch, and we love it!

2. Air Fryer Magic 🍗
Air fryers continue to be a game-changer for healthier, crispy meals in minutes.

3. Global Flavors 🌏
People are exploring world cuisines like Korean, Middle Eastern, and West African flavors at home.

4. Fancy Toast 🍞
Avocado toast is just the beginning—toppings like burrata, smoked salmon, and honey-drizzled feta are trending!

5. Creative Mocktails 🍹
With more people cutting back on alcohol, fun and flavorful non-alcoholic drinks are stealing the spotlight.

🚫 The Worst Cooking Trends

1. Overpriced Butter Boards 🧈
Let’s be honest, spreading butter on a board and calling it gourmet is getting old.

2. Everything with Gold Leaf ✨
Gold-covered food might look fancy, but it adds no flavor—just an expensive gimmick.

3. TikTok’s Weird Food Combos 😬
Pickles in soda? Cheetos in milk? Some trends are just too weird to try.

4. Overcomplicated Coffee ☕
Dalgona coffee was fun, but do we really need five-step coffee recipes every morning?

5. Tiny Portions at Fancy Restaurants 🍽️
People are over the trend of paying $$$ for a plate with two bites of food.

Which of these trends do you love or hate? Let me know in the comments!
