State of Home Cooking orange

As a new decade dawns, we're serving up and celebrating the biggest home-cooking trends from the most enthusiastic cooks we know: our community. 

We crunched the data from 1.2 billion annual Allrecipes.com visits and 2.5 billion annual page views. Then we dug even further, surveying Allrecipes cooks about what's in their carts and fridges, on their stovetops and tables, and on their minds.

We learned a lot about the recipes and products they love, the fresh ways they explore food, and the new ingredients and diets they're most curious about. This feature offers up a sampling of the trends we learned and illustrates what the Allrecipes audience is cooking up in 2020 and beyond. As you'll see: The future is now, and it's delicious.

Home Cooking in 2020

Let's start by exploring what we are seeing happening now in Allrecipes kitchens. We know more people are cooking than ever: Nearly three-quarters of Allrecipes cooks say they're using more new recipes versus two years ago. More than half of these Allrecipes cooks are preparing new recipes weekly.

Across all ages of home cooks, the criteria for a good recipe remains the same: taste, convenience, and ease are most important. (We hear you!) But we've seen a rise in the importance of healthfulness and familiarity with ingredients to Allrecipes cooks.

In this research, we found seven key areas of insights. Here, we explore where we are today, with the ingredients and foods you likely have in your fridge as you read this. And then we look at where we're headed, with an eye toward things we expect you'll be reaching for sooner rather than later.

Ready? Let's get started.

Trend: Appetite for Adventure and Cultural Heritage

Cooks today are arguably the most informed generation yet when it comes to access to unlimited resources across magazines, the Internet, TV, and smart devices that are rich with recipes, ingredient information, and cooking instructions. The increased curiosity and connectedness around food is driving a strong appetite for adventure and cultural heritage when it comes to our food choices.

Related: Getting in Touch Through Kamayan, the Ultimate Filipino Feast

Indeed, we see in our growth of cultural recipes from around the world that cooks want to travel with their taste buds. They're excited to prepare traditional dishes from many global cuisines. This trend is being driven by a variety of factors including: the increasingly cultural diversity, young parents prioritizing passing along cultural heritage to their families, and growing excitement among cooks to see the world through foods.

Now: Filipino Cuisine

Authentic Chicken Adobo

Food from the Philippines — which blends Asian, Latin, American, and island culinary influences for a delicious flavor all its own — is trending, in restaurants and home kitchens. Indeed, our research showed that Filipino cuisine has seen a significant popularity growth in the last year, with Filipino recipe views growing by a whopping 32 percent year over year. Why? Perhaps it's because most of the dishes are gluten-free. Favorites like Chicken Adobo and Caldereta (a Filipino beef recipe) fit into that category. It may be because many of the dishes are prepared ahead of time, so they lend themselves to popular meal-prep cooking.

Related: The 10 Best Filipino Chicken Recipes

It might also be because families across the U.S. are finding themselves drawn to cultural or ancestral elements of the island nation. The Filipino Kamayan, a communal feast laid out on banana leaves, encourages eating with your hands, connecting to your dishes, and experiencing flavors and foods in close proximity.

Slow Cooker Chicken Massaman Curry
View Recipe

You don't have to tell anyone who loves Indian curry or any of our most popular Indian recipes why we predict Indian food will be the next trend in global cuisines for the home cook. Indian foods align well with vegan, vegetarian, and flexitarian diets. Many are gluten-free, and they also lend themselves beautifully to preparation in a slow cooker or Instant Pot.

Related: How to Stock Your Spice Cabinet for Indian Cooking

Many traditional Indian dishes also employ ingredients, like turmeric, that are trending and healthful. Lentils, chickpeas, spinach, and kale are also on on the frequently-used ingredient list.

Shifting Shopping Behaviors

As cooks become comfortable with preparing new cuisines, they are encountering and embracing new ingredients. This shifting behavior is driving increased shopping of grocery channels, such as ethnic grocers and online grocers, as cooks seek to find ingredients that may not be in their pantry or conventional supermarket.

In fact, more than one-third of Allrecipes cooks say an "interest in experimenting with new foods" is extremely important to them when choosing a new recipe. And nearly a majority of Allrecipes cooks say they are always looking to add new flavors to their foods and like to try foods they haven't eaten before.

These cooks shared with us their favorite ingredients, and then we're sharing the things we see heading for home cooks's kitchens very soon.

Now: Pork Belly

Pork belly, a boneless piece of meat which comes from the pig's midsection, has long been considered a delicacy in Asian cooking, but today, it's been embraced by home cooks of all stripes. Over the last year, Allrecipes has seen more than 100 percent growth year over year in searches for pork belly recipes, as new ingredients inspired by global cuisines are finding a new life in home kitchens.

Related: How to Cook Pork Belly Like a Pro

Chef John's Crispy Pork Belly is a wonderful introductory recipe if you've never cooked with pork belly yourself, but you'll find it in Asian favorites like Dong Po (Chinese Pork Belly) and Thit Ko (Caramelized Pork Belly).

At gatherings today, food is moving beyond the buffets, kitchen counters, and dining rooms to instead become a defining part of the party's conversation  and ambiance. Food and cooking where the guests get involved is a growing entertaining format.

Factors driving the trend include: Lessens the load for the host, food becomes a growing part of the conversation and entertainment, guests more easily tailor the dish to match their flavor and dietary preferences, and more home owners installing elaborate outdoor cooking areas that allow guests to cook.

Ideas of Entertaining Are Changing

Entertaining is becoming less formal, less structured, and less planned. Home cooks are excited to bring family and friends together for all types of holidays and smallidays. But as with weeknight meals, Allrecipes cooks prefer entertaining be easy instead of elaborate. They want to spend more time with their guests instead of cooking, serving, and preparing food.

Related: Our Most Popular Potluck Recipes

As such, most hosts are finding ways where guests are allowed — and even encouraged — to contribute to the food at the gathering. Potluck-style gatherings make entertaining less work, more fun, and more affordable. It also afford cooks a chance to try new recipes. In fact, three-quarters of Allrecipes cooks say when they host or attend a potluck, they bring a new recipe to the table.

Pellet smokers, such as the Traeger Grill, are easy to control even for novice cooks, and many are now equipped with Wi-Fi, allowing easier and better control and monitoring. Allrecipes cooks searched for smoker recipes more frequently in the last 12 months. Recipes like Smoked Chicken Hot Wings and smoked turkey are driving the trend, but smoked pork roasts and smoked salmon are the top protein choices for most cooks on Allrecipes.

Allrecipes cooks have been searching for recipes cooked on a griddle more in the last year. And it's no wonder — outdoor griddles, often part of elaborate outdoor kitchens, are a great way to cook nearly any meal of the day and for a crowd. From bacon, eggs, and pancakes at breakfast to griddle cheesesteaks, burgers, and brats at lunch and dinner, the broad cooking space allows cooks to prepare a variety of foods for their friends and family.

Champurrado is served more commonly, as Atole is considered a Christmas beverage. But champurrado can feature a variety of flavors, like peanut butter, orange zest, chocolate, and more.

If you find yourself having snacks for supper, hosting drink-and-nibble gatherings rather than dinner parties, or turning fridge scraps into cheese boards on the regular, you're part of the grazing trend.

It's built on our love of snacking and variety, a move toward more casual and inclusive dining and the busy pace of modern life. Grazing gives us permission to keep moving, to choose our own dinner destines, and to enjoy a little bit of lots of different things.

Finger foods are among the fastest growing recipe categories for Allrecipes cooks. This type of dinner option allows for more informal eating — while watching TV, standing in the kitchen, driving in the car. 

Views for finger food recipes aligned with dinner were up over 600 percent year over year. But finger foods aligned with breakfast — think mini quiches, ham and cheese sandwiches, and donut-inspired muffins — were up over 700 percent in searches in the last year.

Like the sweet potato, plantains can thank the Paleo and Whole30 diets for their increasing popularity. Though they are technically fruit (and look strikingly similar to bananas), plantains are more savory than sweet. You'll find them as plantain chips before you'll find them in a dessert.

Plantains, like potatoes, can be mashed, sliced, fried, diced, sautéed, and just about anything else you can think of. They're more popular in Caribbean and Latin American cooking, but their versatility is helping more home cooks warm up to the possibility of cooking with this unique ingredient.

We've embraced technology at work, in our cars, on our phones. We've strapped smart watches to our wrists, smart earphones to our head, and smart sensors on our pets. So it's no wonder that technology and smart devices are on the rise in the kitchen, too.

Cooks are embracing the convenience and speed of newer, faster cooking methods. Multi-cookers are the fastest growing cooking appliance of the past decade. Searches for multi-cooker recipes are up almost 800 percent in one years.

But as home cooks always do, so many of you are finding unique and fun ways to put this appliance, which gets the outside of foods crispy and hot with less fat than a deep fryer, to use with every type of dish you can imagine. Here are a few of the trends we see.

Sous vide cooking has had a strong run. This warm water, immersion method of perfectly cooking food has been prized for its ability to bring steak to the perfect temperate or to turn eggs into creamy, tender bites. Even major coffee houses have gotten in on the sous vide egg trend.

The older cousin to sous vide egg bites is the classic omelet, which never fades from popularity. Because it is an essential dish all cooks should know how to make, many cooks turn to it when time is short and energy is low precisely because it's so easy to execute. In fact, searches for omelet recipes have been up in the last year.

It was considered a revolution when grocery stores started partnering with delivery groups to shop for you. You'd simply send a list and select a time, and your groceries would be magically delivered. But today, the world of online grocery shopping is growing more customizable, more specialized, and in some cases more difficult to attain.

Almost 1 in 4 Allrecipes cooks say they are interested in pre-ordering items online from grocery stores for pick-up or delivery. Younger cooks are far more likely to use this service, with Millennials reporting twice to three times more interest than older shoppers. Currently, the predominant trend remains pick-up options, but as delivery grows — and some stores even offer delivery to your fridge and pantry when you're not at home — the landscape for online grocery shopping is shifting rapidly.

More than 1 out of every 3 Allrecipes cooks say they would definitely purchase a smart appliance for their home kitchen. Their reasons? Many smart appliances promise and delivery energy and cost savings. They also help you save time and boost your home's value.

But what comes next in the smart appliance world for home cooks? Fridges can already tell you if you have milk. Stoves can already alert you when your roast is nearing done. What about a slow cooker that can be programmed to a specific recipe for more precise cooking? Perhaps. Or a stand mixer that can mix and then cook your food? That's more of a possibility than you may realize.

Indeed, the future of cooking — and all of food for that matter — isn't as far away as you might think. Innovations and changes happen every day. And we get to enjoy the delicious results.
