NOW YOU’RE COOKING!

WE’VE BEEN BAKING BREAD, ZOOMING IN OUR KITCHENS AND BONDING WITH OUR STOVES. HERE ARE THE TOP COOKING TRENDS TO TRY IN 2022.

1. BEYOND TAKEOUT

Why order in your favourite takeout when you can make it yourself, customized for exactly how you like it? Whether you’re craving sesame noodles, smash burgers, poke bowls or a favourite gourmet pizza, mastering these dishes yourself will give you a sense of accomplishment while also hitting the spot.

2. SUPER SCRAPS

Lower-waste cooking is the more realistic version of zero-waste living. Simmer strawberry tops or citrus peels with equal parts sugar and water for a delicious cocktail syrup. Or keep bones and vegetable scraps for homemade stock, which you can just boil down, then freeze.
