Cheap and Comforting: Food Trends for 2009

Gourmet outlines how we'll eat well in the downturn

Share

(Newser) – With a recession weighing on our minds (and wallets), Gourmet breaks down new home cooking trends for 2009:

  • Drinking will, unsurprisingly, be on the rise, with a wider variety of high-end spirits for simple homemade cocktails.
  • Simple ingredients like large beans will be central in a new wave of easy, comforting recipes.

  • An increased interest in Indian and Korean food—delicious, and inexpensively prepared.
  • Expect to see more “neutraceutical" foods on the market—food and drink infused with extra nutrients.
  • Safety scares over Chinese goods will lead to an upsurge in "Made in the USA" food labeling at the grocery store.

Home cooking will be more important than ever as shoppers seek savings.
