Tasty Trends

In fashion it’s all about midi skirts and athletic details. In beauty, big brows and bold lips are abuzz. But what’s NOW in the world of flavour? According to McCormick Canada’s Flavour Forecast there are several emerging worldwide trends shaping what lands on our plates in 2014.

Peppers, from fiery hot to smooth and smoky, are in—better get used to the burn, baby.

East Indian notes are set to take over (bring on the tandoori!).

Mexican food, which has been big in the U.S. for years, is finally starting to catch on (and up) north.

Finally, with World Cup fever about to hit, the current craving for bold, Brazilian cuisine seems natural.

One thing’s for sure: there’s no room for blandness in 2014 (we’re looking at you, tuna casserole). —Christine Laroche
