Now onto one of my favourite things- food! People always think of things like fashion, beauty and interiors when they think of trends but trends can also take shape in the form of food too- and this was evident to me when i went to the ideal home show. When entering the food section you get hit by the smell of different foods coming from every direction. Chinese, Indian, Carribean, Greek, Morroccon; tastes and smells coming from all corners of the world (and the free samples were great too) but one of the most predominant things i noticed was that CHUTNEY.WAS.EVERYWHERE.
seriously! I've noticed over the past few years that chutney and jams were becoming increasingly popular but it wasn't until i went to The Ideal Home Show that this was confirmed. Spiced pickles, zesty lemon mango chutneys, sweet strawberry jams, chutneys of any shape or form were the hot hit at the show, and i think we'll be seeing much more of them on our tables in the future.
