Za'atar is a popular Middle Eastern spice mix consisting of oregano, thyme, sumac, ground sesame seeds, and salt—and you're going to see a lot more of it on menus at restaurants across the country. Beyond that, retailers are making room for the stuff on their shelves: There's Zesty Z, a spread that can be drizzled on top of grain bowls or used on baked chicken. Harvest Stone's new Sprouted Hummus Crackers offer a "taste of za'atar." And Sur la Table sells a special Marrakesh Za'atar Seasoning Mix.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Fluctuations in egg prices, supply problems and increasing demand for vegan food products call for formulations with reduced egg content, e.g. in the bakery sector. Plus, quality characteristics must be met to guarantee consumer satisfaction.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
WACKER’s CAVAMAX® W6, a dietary fiber with excellent emulsifying and structure-building properties, can be used to partially or fully substitute egg in baked goods. Next to being fully vegan and E number free, CAVAMAX® W6 offers formulation flexibility while resulting in excellent crumb structure with comparable volume.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Mindfulness Eating: With mindfulness, eating becomes a joyful and transcendent experience, fully sensorial, that we are so sadly missing these days.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

In terms of trendy flavor, next year is all about sour. Thanks to the popularity and influence of Korean, Filipino and Persian cuisines, expect more and more sour elements on the plate. For instance, there are kimchee tacos, quesadillas, mac-and-cheese and ice cream in Korean-inspired “new” American dishes; vinegar-based recipes, marinades and sauces on Filipino menus; and plenty of tartness from calamansi, rhubarb, sour oranges, tamarind and pomegranate in Persian restaurants.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
