    Every season has its food trends that pop up like wildflowers. Remember when everything had pistachio or tiramisu slapped on it? This year, expect flames, smoke, and things fermented forever. Classic dishes get cool new spins, so menus are always trying to impress.

    At home, we’re living the social media food trend life with TikTok inspiring us to make weird but yummy things like fancy Japanese cheesecake or crazy pasta dishes. Some cuisines like Georgian and African flavors are becoming our new fave go-tos too!

    They’re just sandwiches with a fancy name. No need to make it harder.

    I get it, alcohol-free drinks are great. But the price tag makes me raise a brow.

    Sometimes, fancy food is just everyday food with a shiny new name.
