McCormick Flavor Forecast Giveaway (Closed)

I was thrilled when I was contacted by the folks at McCormick® to participate in sharing with you their annual Flavor Forecast. What is the Flavor Forecast? It is an annual report compiled by McCormick chefs, trend trackers and food technologists that unveils trends and flavors that will drive culinary innovation in years to come. It's really quite amazing, it's a year-long process and this year for the first time, it includes global flavors.

I was lucky enough to participate in a webinar where McCormick Kitchen Director Mark Garcia shared with us the different trends as well as the flavors and recipes from the report.

The trends are:

Honoring Roots
Quest for the Ultimate
Veggies in Vogue
Simplicity Shines
Flavorful Swaps
No Boundaries

To find out more about the trends, flavors and recipes, visit the Flavor Forecast website! I can't wait to share with you my recipe inspired by the trends and flavors from the Flavor Forecast!
