Today, the interest in homemade food has reached a remarkable level. Whether due to the ongoing pandemic or a heightened awareness of our general health and well being, the most sought-after food items come under the 'organic' or 'homemade' category.
When a product label says it's homemade, we believe it is free of additives, artificial flavours and colours, which means it's safe and healthy and it makes us feel good about what we eat. This explains the sudden boom in home-baking, home-catering and other home-based food businesses.
How the homemade food craze started
There is no one particular date or recipe, but evidence seems to indicate that the whole home enterprise idea started with homemade birthday cakes. The thought of someone expending time and energy to create a customised cake with ingredients that are carefully hand-picked for their quality is what made homemade cakes so special. And these businesses boomed!
Once the cake trend picked up, talented and eager home chefs slowly started expanding their menus to include different desserts, finger foods, regional specialities, pickles and eventually to a fully-fledged homemade meal. There was no looking back and unlike other trends that have come and gone, the demand for homemade food is here to stay.
