Easy Butter Toffee Sauce & McCormick's Flavor Forecast 2012!
>> Sunday, January 15, 2012
Hello new year and hello you!
I've missed you...and my laptop (I've been without it for almost 2 months!)
I won't start the first post of the year with my New Year's goals...or resolutions as I did last year. (Definitely
Thinking back, Twenty Eleven (2011) saw me learning that edamame tastes pretty good in almost anything and that papaya and pineapples together can actually make your taste buds sing. So many food combinations tried and tested over that year...and shared/loved/made over and over again!
Makes me look forward to all the new flavour combos you and I will discover this year.
I think the team of experts from Flavor Forecast 2012 might know a bit more about all the trendy and inspiring flavours of 2012 than I as they have been engaged in a year-long process of identifying culinary trends!
I am writing this post in partnership with McCormick's Spice as they launch Flavor Forecast 2012. Here on this space, you know (if you've been visiting long enough) I don't normally promote commercial products - this is simply a space where I share with you what goes on in that corner of my heart and apartment where food of all sorts come out.
But as an user of the McCormick spices on a daily basis and being genuinely interested in this launch - I'd love to share with you the new flavour combos they've come up with. Coz, sharing is caring (just what my sister said to me today when I refused to lend her my cute top...)
So what is Flavor Forecast, you ask? (#You type flavor, I type flavour...)
It's essentially a forecast of the future of flavour! Or, an annual report compiled by McCormicks chefs and trend trackers that tells us what is new and trendy in the food scene this year globally!
So on their site, they've put together this great guide of flavour trends of 2012 and recipes for those flavour combinations to try. I hope you do check them out if interested. The Butter Toffee sauce I've made is from the site as well. I've been spooning on it tonight while watching TV :) It's even better than a tub of ice-cream (together would be unbeatable uh huh!)
I've attached a few of the flavour combos I find most interesting below:
Check out recipes using:
Ginger with Coconut here
Red Tea with Cinnamon & Plum here
This is definitely the flavour combo I'm most keen to try myself!!!
Korean Pepper Paste with Sesame, Asian Pear & Garlic recipes here
Check out recipes using:
Vanilla with Butter here (the Easy Butter Toffee Sauce is from here :)
Blueberry with Cardamom & Corn Masa here
For the rest of the flavour combinations of 2012, go to Flavor Forecast!
These five (5) really pretty photos above are courtesy of their website too.

Though beauty gives you a weird sense of entitlement, it's rather frightening and threatening to have others ascribe such importance to something you know you're just renting for a while. http://www.thomson-canopus.net
