Culinary Trend Mapping® Report

The Culinary Trend Mapping Report is an indispensable tool for those whose job it is to stay abreast of what's hot - or what will be in the food world.

Using the Center for Culinary Development's (CCD) signature Trend Mapping® technique, a validated method identifying which culinary trends are “gaining traction” and which are simply flashes in the pan, each report concentrates on a theme, or trend, that is affecting the food industry, and then looks at the emerging and established ingredients, cooking styles and products along the Trend Map that are driving this theme.

Published six times a year, each report is a 75+ page journal packed with trends, data, strategies and insights on the food industry that simply aren't available anywhere else. Learn More »
