There is always something new cooking in the recipe world. It is funny to think that there is such a thing when recipes have been around since time immemorial, but the recipe industry is actually very quick paced and often relies on the hard work recipe creators who are not looking to make money, but help others create great meals. What are some current trends? I am here to give you the inside scoop on recipe news.

First, something that has been very popular in the recipe world lately has been the idea of food on sticks. Putting food on sticks automatically makes it serving size appropriate, since there is only so much chicken or vegetables you can speak on a stick. This makes it a popular choice for people looking for healthy recipes. Not only does it keep portion sizes manageable, but it also is an interesting presentation style, especially for less expected uses. Have you ever had mini pies on a stick? It is like a pie lollipop, and very delicious. Also great for messy kids.

Second, now that video sites are super popular, food video recipes are a great way to get into the recipe world. Many people have difficulty or dislike following written instructions. Previously, the only way to get food videos was to watch television and hope the latest celebrity chef would suggest cooking something you liked the sound of. The problem with this is that many television recipes tend to be complicated or require ingredients the average user does not have. Online recipe videos, on the other hand, allow the user to pick through a wide selection of video recipe choices in order to find the meal instructions that are right for them. The appeal of a video recipe is also that one can pause and then start again a video if you miss something. This way, you can cook right alongside the instructor.

Third, exotic dishes, by American standards anyway, are becoming popular video recipe choices. Rather than relying on takeout and restaurants for Chinese, Japanese, Ethiopian et cetera food, why not watch an Indian recipes video and make some palak paneer yourself?
