We have [the 8 Biggest Food Trends for 2026](https://www.southernliving.com/whole-foods-trends-2026-11826622?ref=secretbreakfast.com), according to Whole Foods. A few caveats: Whole Foods is owned by Amazon, so this is essentially marketing. But I have a weakness for food predictions (I've also written a book about them). So, what's on the list? The 8 food trends are: **better freezer options** for meals, brighter flavors thanks to **vinegar**, **instant foods**, better-for-you **sweets**, good food with **great design**, **female farmers** growing food, **fiber-rich products**, and **beef tallow** as a cooking fat. Beef what? *Piero* --- ![](https://secretbreakfast.com/content/images/2025/01/quote-transparent-1-1.png) ![](https://secretbreakfast.com/content/images/2025/10/Matthew-McConaughey.png) ✹**Matthew McConaughey**, actor and expert in good-looking, in his book [*Greenlights*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenlights%5F%28book%29?ref=secretbreakfast.com). --- ![](https://secretbreakfast.com/content/images/2025/01/White---22--1.png) ## We Are All Consuming Now ![](https://secretbreakfast.com/content/images/2025/10/maxresdefault-1.jpg) This one deserves our attention. Ruby Tandoh's book, [*All Consuming*](https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/805767/all-consuming-by-ruby-tandoh/?ref=secretbreakfast.com), won't teach you how to cook better, or which dishes are trending this season. **It will tell you something truer instead: that the way you eat is not a choice.** Yes, we already knew that after *The Devil Wears Prada* lumpy blue sweater monologue ([video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rDTRuCOs9g&ref=secretbreakfast.com)) performed by Meryl Streep years ago. Back to food now. It's the effect of systems we don't see. **It's not the famous chef deciding what ends up on your plate, but that person in an office writing code, or migration legislation, or the algorithm rewarding a recipe titled "crispy, cheesy, crunchy" because those words generate clicks.** The algorithm doesn't describe the dish; it generates it. And while you think you have personal preferences and refined taste, you're actually breathing air saturated with pre-digested recipes and anonymous feedback loops. Don't be that guy. --- ![](https://secretbreakfast.com/content/images/2025/01/op-transparent-1.png) Juicy content from food creators ![](https://secretbreakfast.com/content/images/2025/10/capture-2025-10-15-alle-10.42.36-1.jpg) [Bacon Fat Shokupan](https://www.instagram.com/p/DPvl2l-kXMy/?ref=secretbreakfast.com) by Zai • Oishi Mate (ok, this one is a bit too strong for me) --- ![](https://secretbreakfast.com/content/images/2025/01/Hunger-1.png) 🌾Make couscous, but [do not follow the instructions on the couscous box](https://www.instagram.com/reel/DPbqiy-iGn0?ref=secretbreakfast.com) 🇲🇦Moroccan Msemen, always (★[recipe](https://www.instagram.com/reel/DPbfUfOjNNA/?ref=secretbreakfast.com)) 🍪Some perfect Butter Sablé (★[recipe](https://www.instagram.com/reel/DNPdPE5RKoQ/?ref=secretbreakfast.com)) 🍩[Smelling Like a Doughnut Became the Latest Body Care Craze](https://www.wsj.com/lifestyle/fragrance-scent-donut-cookies-cake-42931fa5?st=PRKWfL&mod=1440&user%5Fid=66c4c385600ae1507593f25c&ref=secretbreakfast.com) 🍋Some Super Sticky Cake au Citron (★[recipe](https://www.instagram.com/reel/DO8DZ12EyzT/?ref=secretbreakfast.com)) 📖Noma has a [new book](https://www.instagram.com/p/DPwc-3xD2dm?ref=secretbreakfast.com) coming out in Spring 🇳🇴[Why the Norwegian 4x4 Workout Is Everywhere Right Now](https://www.self.com/story/what-is-the-norwegian-4x4-workout?ref=secretbreakfast.com) 🍸[Greta Lee Makes Six Cocktails Inspired by Her Six Favorite Movies](https://www.vogue.com/video/watch/a-toast-to-cinema-greta-lee?ref=secretbreakfast.com) 🍗This Honey Lime Cilantro Chicken & Rice Bowl is Everywhere (★[recipe](https://www.instagram.com/reel/DMJGC1ky8JJ?ref=secretbreakfast.com)) 🥕A Carrot-Pumpkin (★[recipe](https://www.instagram.com/reel/DPMW0VziBFe/?ref=secretbreakfast.com)) 🎻This is not about food but is deep: [Can cellos remember?](https://www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v47/n18/thomas-laqueur/a-different-life?ref=thebrowser.com) ![](https://secretbreakfast.com/content/images/2025/01/White---19-.png) ### [What Makes a Recipe Craveable?](https://www.eater.com/food-culture/911235/ruby-tandoh-book-excerpt-all-consuming-recipe-trends?ref=secretbreakfast.com) **Ruby Tandoh /** [**book**](https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/805767/all-consuming-by-ruby-tandoh/?ref=secretbreakfast.com) **excerpt on Eater** Internet recipe culture has evolved into a visual, sensory art form engineered to bypass rational thought and trigger cravings—driven by developers like Ottolenghi and Mob who treat recipes as endlessly remixable modules rather than fixed formulas. In a landscape of infinite digital choice, recipes survive only if they seduce: through strategic naming, saturated photography, ASMR sound design, and an ingredient palette drawn from a "global pantry" that promises perpetual novelty. --- ### [How to Open a Restaurant in NYC](https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/10/06/dining/how-to-open-restaurant-nyc.html?unlocked%5Farticle%5Fcode=1.tk8.cBFC.hOpCX2-yIeue&smid=url-share&ref=secretbreakfast.com) **Priya Krishna / The New York Times** A year in the making of a rookie’s first restaurant.
