Food Trends

When you hear the word “flight” at a bar or restaurant, you probably think of beverages—namely, beer, wine, or spirits flights that allow you to try small portions of multiple styles in one curated flight. But lately, restaurants and home cooks alike have been getting creative with food flights, featuring curated tastings of different presentations of one single ingredient or dish. Food flights are more than just aesthetic; they’re a fun way to try a variety of different flavors, textures, or styles without committing to a full-sized portion. This summer, for instance, TikTok couldn’t get enough of tomato flights, featuring slices of fresh, in-season tomatoes loaded with different toppings, as well as flights featuring ingredients like watermelon and peaches.

Raclette is the ultimate cozy winter indulgence. Hailing from the Alpine regions of Switzerland and France, the popular après-ski dish features the namesake cheese melted and scraped over boiled potatoes, meats, and pickles. Similar to fondue, raclette is a communal experience, and while it might feel fancy, it’s actually pretty simple to prepare at home.

Galentine’s Day is an opportunity to celebrate the love that comes from friendships and family members. Instead of romantic love, the focus is on empowerment and appreciating the women who love and support you.

Choosing the perfect wine for Valentine’s Day is just as important as the dinner itself. After all, the glass of wine you pick can make or break your meal—and possibly even your dessert. Impress your Valentine’s date (or Galentine’s party) by pouring a glass of wine that’s nothing short of fabulous.
