Notable Nibbles

Social media has put the fun back in food trends. Whether on TikTok or Instagram, a new generation of content creators are pushing the boundaries of home cooking. The playful, easy and clever recipes are proving to be more than a collective flash in the pan. To help you embrace this new way of cooking, here are five of our favourite viral food trends with accompanying recipes.

Puff Piece

When Lily Ghodrati (@lilyghodrati) posted a video on TikTok of super simple tarts made with nectarines, honey and puff pastry cooked upside down, it went more than just viral. Her upside-down tart hack became a new way to bake, where all you need is some frozen puff pastry and a little imagination.

Just Waffle It

The waffle maker can do a lot more than just waffles. From leftover stuffing waffles, to grilled cheese sandwiches, to pizza pockets, nothing is safe from its hot irons. The latest trend is to waffle frozen french fries (mixed with egg or cheese) into delightfully crispy potato cakes.

Chop Chop

Eric Gaddis (@Big_Erics_BBQ) caused a stir on TikTok when he reinvented the Italian sub by chopping up the ingredients, mixing them with mayo and salad dressing, then stuffing that into soft rolls. It spawned a new wave of chopped sandwiches—including our remixed pan bagnat, which we dare say is better than the original.

Cake Walk

Home bakers have taken notice of France’s best-kept secret: cake salé. The quick bread has the rich, moistness of cake, but it’s completely savoury and served during the apéro hour. It’s a great excuse to clear out any meats, cheeses, olives and herbs hanging around in your fridge.

Eggs Gone Wild

From eggs hard-boiled in the air fryer to Korean tornado omelettes, social media has recently spawned many different ways to cook an egg. The most popular is Grace Elkus’s (@graceelkus) method of frying an egg encircled by feta. It’s beyond delicious in a trendy taco mash-up with a breakfast sandwich.
