Timeliness, taste, and convenience shall continue to define and dominate the food segment, says an expert.
Chef Tushar at McCain Foods Kitchen lists down some of the discernable trends for this year:
1Aspirational Cooking
Restaurants and QSRs (Quick service restaurants) are taking up street food and serving it in a modern setting and the old-school recipes are being cooked a grander scale. With cooking shows budding aplenty, sky is the limit. With a bit of skill, creativity and the will to experiment, local cuisines from different regions are now getting a facelift and greater acceptance.
2Make in India
3Flavours
Foods in 2016 are going to be big on flavours and taste, both conventional as well as unconventional. International flavours like oregano, basil and thyme have made their way into the Indian platter and this will only be aggravated in the coming times, making recipes more global in their appeal and definitely more flavoursome.
