As children of the internet, it’s no surprise that millennials have turned to social media to cope with the uncertainty of these times. The point of the internet being a virtual playground couldn’t be more relevant these days as most of the world have now spent months in quarantine.

With restaurants on lockdown, cooking at home has now become an essential skill, not just for survival though, but as a means of spreading heartwarming content in these times. From everyone and their mothers baking on Instagram to the aesthetically-pleasing Dalgona Coffee, here are a few cooking trends to get into from the safety of your home:

1. Bread

Why worry about missing bread for breakfast when you can just bake? As I mentioned, everyone and their mothers are now baking bread on Instagram, and I’m not exactly mad at it. Now that we all have too much time on our hands, it’s no surprise that baking is now a trend. And if sourdough isn’t your thing, someone is even offering homemade Agege bread tutorials on Instagram, believe it or not.

2. Dalgona Coffee

Dalgona Coffee aka whipped coffee got its name from a popular street toffee from South Korea. Although the trend became a hit on the internet sometime in January, the drink itself is a new recipe. From India to many parts of the world, the concept of adding whipped coffee to milk has already been in existence before the year of our lord, Corona. And now, you can find this recipe almost anywhere on the internet, even rappers like this guy are jumping on the trend.

3. Banana Bread

For some reason, Banana bread is one of the most searched recipes since the coronavirus outbreak, with a 54% increase in related Google searches so far, as reported by Refinery29. Check out Chef Imoteda’s recipe if you’re looking to try it this week.

4. French Toast

In keeping up with the trend in this part of the world, one thing is certain - we’re all suffering from brunch withdrawal. Perhaps, this is why many people are making their own french toast at home.
