FOOD TRENDS - How the hype effects what's on our plates
FOOD TRENDS – How the Hype Shapes What We Eat
Kate and Tracey are joined by PR powerhouses Pim Pattanasuk and Hannah Campbell from Media Circus Creative who live and breathe the social buzz. Together, they unpack the rise (and fall) of food trends, from viral hits like whipped coffee to the cucumber salad craze.
They explore how social media fuels the hype and manipulates what's on our plates, why authenticity is winning over perfection, and how businesses can ride the wave without losing their values. Best of all Pim, Hannah, Kate and Tracey bond over their personal food values, culture and connection!
RECIPE OF THE WEEK
Viral Cucumber Salad — It’s popular for a reason. Easy to make, versatile to use and delicious.
