Americas Discovered
Flavours and techniques of America have always driven this trend, we are now seeing more regional and authentic recipes being used
American feeds into many trends, particularly Gourmet Get Together and Awaken My Senses. Latin American is full of provenance, with local recipes and ingredients used. Also, we are seeing these recipes becoming more healthy with a lighter fresher note than before.
Why is this a 2019 food trend?
We are travelling more, and looking for more unusual flavours that span the breadth of the American continent. As we look for healthy foods – still with heat and interest – we are seeing that Latin American food can offer this. With plenty of chilli heat and sour from citrus, Latin American cuisine can fulfil many wants and needs in healthier food.
Defining this trend
