Having a trusted source of truth without the inaccuracies of a chat bot or social forum, the Anova team vetted information and has uncovered what will be heating up in 2026.The full report is available here.
"Our team at Anova is passionate about revolutionizing home cooking and breaking the stigma that holds many would-be cooks back from creating elegant, delicious meals right in their own kitchens. As part of this education-first approach, we want to equip cooks with the knowledge to succeed and a first look at what's to come in the culinary space next year and that's where our 2026 Anova Food Nerd Kitchen Trend Predictions was born," said Co-Founder, Stephen Svajian. "Home cooking is no longer focused on just getting dinner on the table. It is about precision, cultural connection, and smart tools that help every cook achieve professional-quality results without wasted time or an extra mess."
Key trends from the 2026 Anova Food Nerd Kitchen Trend Predictions report include:
-- AI in the Kitchen: The Anova team expects to see major growth when it
comes to the integration of AI and connectivity in home kitchens.
Consumers will look for AI-powered cooking assistants, virtual cooking
classes, and automated pantry management that can help track inventory
while reducing food waste.
-- Moving Away from Air Fryers: Air fryers continue to trend but less so
than in the last few years. Many consumers are looking beyond trendy
gadgets and investing in more versatile, multi-use appliances that can
help them do it all from proofing bread to poaching eggs.
-- Protein-Packed & Easy Peasy: More than ever, consumers will look for
high-protein meals as protein-heavy diets continue to trend upward. On
top of nutrient dense meals, home cooks will want budget-conscious,
low-fuss easy meals that help busy households go from fridge to table in
record time.
-- Fully Fermented: With gut-health remaining in focus and a major consumer
taste for kimchi and kombucha, fermentation will be a major trend in
2026. Consumers are looking to experiment, ferment, and store to stretch
grocery budgets, reduce food waste, and incorporate new flavors into
their kitchens.
-- Major Mocktail Moments: With less Americans drinking alcohol than ever
before, mocktails will continue to trend up with even more intricate
recipes, unique garnishes, and enhanced flavor profiles. Consumers are
not just abstaining from alcohol, but they are creating mocktail moments
that focus on deep flavors.
-- Plant Power: The star of the show in 2026? Vegetables. Consumers will be
looking for new ways to incorporate vegetables, particularly those that
are in-season, into every day meals. Think super savory cauliflower
"steaks" and new takes on traditional veggie sides. Home cooks are
predicted to utilize tech and tools that will help texturize and
heighten vegetable flavors to make greens more appealing than ever.
-- Artisan Micro Bakeries: As the 2020 sourdough trend continues forward
over half a decade later, many home bakers will sell their baked goods
via micro bakeries and farmer's markets. Blending a need for community
and a home-based flavor, these local food artisans will be major in the
coming year creating cottage bakery spaces in their homes.
Cooks looking to get a leg up on the upcoming trends can cook to the future with tools like Anova's Precision(TM) Oven 2.0, which can air fry, steam, bake, and more all in one device while food recognition technology can help busy families get dinner on the table.
