The food world moves fast. In just one year we can go from not knowing a food exists , to seeing it in headlines almost every single day, to deciding that it’s no longer a big deal. In 2019, we saw a few food trends that failed to take off and some that took the world by storm. Some of these were good, and some of them, not so much. Here are eight food trends that we’ll be happy to leave in 2019.

And while this is a noble effort nutrition-wise, it’s impossible to get around the fact that salad dressings are always better homemade. In 2020, we’ll be happy to wave goodbye to bottled salad dressings and hello to fresh and easy salad dressings we can make at home. 2. Sugar Substitutes Shutterstock We’ve long known that added sugar and artificial sw

With Jan. 1 around the corner, we find ourselves on the precipice of a new year, and a new decade. While many of us are reveling in wrapping up the holiday party circuit, we know that come the first (or second) day of the new year, we will most likely find ourselves creating resolutions to eat healthier , lose weight, and just feel better. In that spirit, we’ve rounded up some of the best new cookbooks coming our way in 2020 with a focus on healthy eating. Whether you’re into (or considering) a vegan or plant-based diet, or following a keto or paleo path, now may be a nice time to look ahead and discover some new cookbooks focused on healthy food to get you straightened out after all of your imbibing on bubbly and eggnog and nibbling the last of the cookies and fruitcakes.

We rounded up the best dark chocolate bars to snack on when you’re trying to be healthy but still want a treat. When it’s time to cleanse and be all healthy and not eat cinnamon rolls for breakfast like we do all through December, we’re told dark chocolate might just be our savior if we need something sweet. To be specific, the flavanols found in cocoa may help protect your heart , lower blood pressure , and reduce inflammation. Also, if you’re going paleo or giving up dairy in 2020, dark chocolate is often naturally vegan , as there is no added dairy like there is in milk chocolate . Still, to some, dark chocolate feels like a runner-up to whatever they really want for dessert. The higher cocoa and cocoa butter concentrates in dark chocolate can make it taste somewhat bitter compared to a Hershey’s. And choosing a bar of dark chocolate these days can feel almost as overwhelming as picking out the right bottle of pinot noir. After all, there’s the origin of the chocolate to c

We asked chefs to share their favorite comfort foods for keeping warm and cozy; their answers will inspire you to hunker down in your own kitchen. With winter well upon us and the end of the year fast-approaching, the joyful beast of our annual indulgent cravings has been unleashed. The Thanksgiving holiday kicked off festivities of wanting all the carbs , and all the goodness we reserve for those months we need the extra heat to suit up against the cold. While Jan. 1 may mark the start of many diets, it’s still prime time for comfort food. In my own role as a chef and cooking teacher, this really is my favorite time of year when I teach everyone how to make food filled with love, and cold-weather comforts are where it’s at.
