Boursin Omelet (The Bear)
Sidney’s Boursin omelet from The Bear, which includes chips as the topping, is pretty easy to recreate, so it’s not a shocker that TikTok users can’t get enough of it. In addition to Boursin cheese, you’ll only need eggs, butter, fresh chives, and potato chips to make it on your own.

]]>As we enter a new year, many of us are making commitments to improve our health, wellbeing, and general lifestyle. One of the most popular ways to approach this is to dip into—or wholeheartedly embrace—the “sober curious” trend. Rather than swearing off alcohol altogether, this lifestyle involves significantly reducing your alcohol intake whilst enjoying alternatives, including 0% alcohol beers, beautifully crafted alcohol-free spirits, and healthy, tasty smoothies. Read on for three key reasons why this lifestyle could be for you.
Health
As with so many alcohol-related issues, health is top of many people’s agenda when they try the sober curious lifestyle. We all know that drinking to excess is bad for us, and swapping out some of your Friday night cocktails for mocktails can make a massive difference in terms of your energy levels, skin and hair health, emotional state, and sleep. Why not order in some artisanal “gin” to make some mocktails, a good one has all the flavor and aroma of the real stuff, only with 0% alcohol.
Finances
If you’re going out for drinks regularly, you don’t need to be told how expensive drinking alcohol can be. Whether you’re picking up a round for your friends or simply treating yourself to a few after-work wines, these bills can mount up. Whilst ordering low-or-no-alcohol drinks out can still get pricey, you will tend to drink less of them, as mocktails and the like won’t have the hazy effect that makes you forget quite how much you’ve already consumed.
Enjoy the Moment
If health and money aren’t motivators, many people find that when they’re drinking less, they actually have a better time. Memories are clearer, conversations make sense, and you can leave the party or event at a sensible time, basking in the glow of satisfaction that comes from knowing that tomorrow, there will be no hangover to contend with. A sober curious approach means you can still enjoy a few drinks here and then if the mood does strike you, but not every event will centre around the alcohol.

If you keep up with food trends then you’ll no doubt have seen the rise in rejection of “ultra-processed” foods.

]]>If you keep up with food trends then you’ll no doubt have seen the rise in rejection of “ultra-processed” foods. This term refers to food products that have been produced in a certain way or had certain ingredients added to them which makes them very processed and bear little resemblance to any natural food item. Here’s why opting for non-processed, real food is becoming more popular.
People Want Transparency
As people become more aware of the health implications of ultra-processed foods, there’s an increasing desire for clarity and honesty when it comes to food production. This means people want food that has simple ingredients. A classic test of this concept is to check a food product ingredients list and see how many items in the list are complete jargon to you. People want “real” food so that they can understand how it’s been made.
The Effects on Gut Health
Gut-healthy foods have been thrown into the spotlight in recent years. With so many people having digestion issues it’s no wonder we are all looking to our diets to see what might be the cause. Having food that’s crammed with preservatives and chemicals is causing serious damage to the gut microbiome, so natural, real food is much preferred.

]]>One of the biggest food trends over the past year has been fermented food. This kind of food has been popular for a long time, but the recent obsession with “gut-healthy foods” has seen it thrown into the spotlight even more. Foods that have been fermented are often sour and tangy, which a lot of people love as a flavor, and their benefits on the gut microbiome are even better. Here are three to try if you’re new to this trend.
Kefir
This food is made using kefir grains and milk. The grains help the milk to ferment without going bad and can produce either a milk-like drink or yogurt. Either way, you’ll have a very sour and tangy dairy product that has amazing effects on your gut health.
Kimchi
This dish is made using vegetables and uses a process that allows them to ferment just using water and various flavorings. The classic version uses cabbage and carrot but can be done with other kinds of veg too. The result is a spicy and tangy flavor that pairs well with so many other dishes.
Tempeh
Think of this as a more interesting version of tofu. Made using fermented soya beans, this vegan food is dense and high in protein. You can use it to make sandwiches or stir fry.

]]>When scrolling through socials, we all need to be careful about taking nutritional advice too seriously. While there are some certified dieticians and nutritionists posting on Instagram and TikTok, all too often people who are far from experts are happy to dole out advice relating to what and how we eat. That being said, one nutrition trend that has taken off online is totally backed up by science. It’s also reassuringly simple and easy to do—it’s called “30 plants a week”, and the clue is absolutely in the title. It’s all about aiming for 30 different plant sources across the course of a week—it may sound like a lot but it’s totally doable, and incredibly delicious! Check out these tips on how to make this nutrition trend work for you.
Porridge Toppings
Depending on the type of plant, some portion sizes are quite small. For example, most dried fruits only require you to eat 30 grams to meet your nutritional needs. This means that topping your porridge (or cereal, toast, or yogurt) with a handful of fresh berries, a handful of nuts, some seeds, and some dried fruit will count as four towards your goal of 30!
Soups and Stews
A homemade soup that contains onion, potato, leek, and garlic will count as four towards your total, whilst a bean and vegetable stew is likely to offer even more. Remember, you’re looking to eat thirty different portions across the week, so it may be worth making a batch of soup or stew and then freezing the leftovers, so that you’re eating a variety across the week rather than the same meal on repeat.
Herbal Teas
High-quality herbal teas will count towards your goal. This means that if you have peppermint, lemon, ginger, and black tea on one day, you’re getting three plant portions just from your tea breaks! As ever, the focus is on variety, so if you’re stuck in a tea rut check out some different flavor combinations to introduce a greater range of plant portions to your diet.

With so many people sharing ideas and tips on TikTok and other social media platforms, there are always new recipes and products to get excited over. At the start of each new year, food fanatics often try to predict what will be trending in the months to come. Soup has been a popular dish for a while, and many people expect this to increase over the next year. Here are a few reasons why.
A Great Way to Combine Cusines
Fusion cooking has been getting lots of attention over the last few years for understandable reasons. Taking the best flavors and ingredients from certain cuisines and combining them to create new dishes is fun, interesting, and exciting. Soup is ideal for this, as there’s so much room to play around with different ingredients, techniques, and presentation.
A Sustainable Option
As we all become increasingly more aware of the worrying effects of climate change, sustainability has increased in popularity. So many of the trends seen in fashion, hair, and beauty are heavily influenced by a need to be sustainable and eco-friendly, and the exact same can be said for food. Soup is the perfect choice here, as it’s the best way to use up leftovers and old vegetables.

A Bite of Nostalgia
With so many of us conscious of our fat, salt, and sugar intake, treats are increasingly limited to special occasions. For many of us in 2024, that will mean returning to the flavors of our childhoods, as we seek out traditional sweets and candies. It can be great fun to indulge in these sweet treats in the company of friends, as memories can come flooding back. Seek out a local traditional sweet shop and stock up on all your old favorites.
Healthy Desserts
As health and wellness will continue to be major trends in 2024, some of us will turn to healthy, plant-based options with a dessert twist. Think salted caramel-flavored nuts, chocolate-dipped berries, and rice cakes infused with gelato flavors. This trend is all about having your cake and eating it, completely guilt-free.
Layered Treats
Why have one treat when you could have a combination of two? Following on from the success of the cronut (the croissant-donut), retailers and chefs will be coming up with exciting new mixes, like popcorn-filled donuts, or sweet-loaded fries.

]]>As we enter a new year, there will be some shifts when it comes to wellness and food culture. The focus will remain on health and wellbeing, but with perhaps a little more balance and recognition of what real life is like. This may look like mixing a healthy smoothie with an indulgent pastry at breakfast or taking a more relaxed approach to exercise. Some food trends will be making a big splash throughout 2024, here are three of the hottest.
Nice and Spicy
The penchant for chillis and all things spicy is going nowhere, in fact, next year will see a proliferation of extra hot sauces taking off in the market. Some people are consuming these for the apparent health benefits that spicy chillis can bring, others love the taste, and a few even seek the challenge of consuming ultra-hot sauce. If the seriously hot stuff isn’t for you, stick to a traditional jalepeno-based sauce to serve alongside vegetables, chips, and more.
Grazing Boards
Coming in hot on the heels of 2023’s girl dinners (which generally consist of small snack plates), grazing and charcuterie boards will be big news next year. These will be made modern through additions such as artisanal dried fruits, which pair beautifully with cheese and meats.
Sparkling Infusions
In line with the trend for drinking less alcohol (or none at all), there will be a big focus on naturally distilled alcohol-free drinks. Look out for sparkling citrus flavors, or more original twists such as grapefruit and passionfruit or strawberry and cream.
