food trends 2021

More and more often we receive our dinner in sweatpants at the front door, focus on regional fruit and vegetable variety and enjoy a tasty non-alcoholic drink instead of the usual after-work beer.

These are the most important food and gastronomy trends for 2021:

Restaurants without guests, which concentrate solely on cooking and delivering the food. During the Corona crisis, this idea developed into the survival strategy of many gastronomes due to the lockdown. But even before Corona, many gastro kitchens have been producing exclusively for home delivery – via their own homepage or via food delivery platforms. A convenient concept appreciated by more and more consumers.

Climate change and intensive agriculture threaten the diversity of flora and fauna. However, in the fields in particular, we need regional diversity instead of monoculture in order to guarantee the global food supply despite global warming.

Healthy alternatives to alcoholic beverages? For a long time, no one fancied such drinks in bars and restaurants. However, today the demand is growing and more and more non-alcoholic cocktails and cool drinks based on tea and juice are finding their way into the drinks menu and promise great taste at zero alcohol level.
