Scandinavia rule the plates
When asked the most influentail food trends are coming from Scandinavia seems to be cooking up
the coolest dishes at the moment. Danish top restaurant NoMa being selected as the wordl’s best
restaurant three years in a row is clear sign that food is hot in the cold north. Simplicity and fidelity to
the ingredients seems to be a sign of things to come since the second mos influential cuisine is the
Japanese, having the aforementioned qualitites in common with Scandinavian style cooking. But the
“new” world cuisines aren’t the only ones with a bright future. The cuisine perhaps most associated
with great culinary art of them all, the French is ranked as the third mos important trendsetter.
