Saucy, savory and sweet cooking techniques are expected to excite the palate, according to Campbell Soup Company’s Culinary and Baking Institute. Below are a few trends worth taste testing.

  • Brazilian fare — experimenting with regional spices and ingredients, seafood stews and unique grilling methods
  • Unique burgers — cooking patty options like lamb and elk with non-traditional buns and toppings galore
  • Juicing — extracting and mixing juice from fruits and vegetables
  • Greek yogurt substitutions — reducing calories and adding flavor by substituting Greek yogurt for mayonnaise, heavy cream, sour cream and even oil
  • Beverage-inspired tastes — bringing the mature flavors of aged wine and craft beer to entrees through sauces like barbecue and hot sauce

Help customers prepare trendy meals by suggesting buns from the Publix Bakery or Publix Premium Greek Yogurt in place of heavier condiments. Try Aprons recipes like Brazilian Chicken Curry and Turkey Kabobs with Ginger-Yogurt Sauce to get a taste of these trends.
