The fastest trending Croque Monsieur recipe is a vegetarian version of the traditional grilled ham and cheese sandwich – made with mushrooms. Just like the vegetarian Carbonnade, we are seeing a rise in vegetarian alternatives to traditional cuisine.
It’s cocktail o’clock somewhere – the fastest rising cocktails:
Mojitos have grown by 180% in social discussion over the past year, which positions them as the top rising beverage in the French market. Joining mojitos are piña Coladas which grew by 53% YoY, and Aperol spritz cocktails which have seen a 40% growth in social discussions over the last year.
Get inspired by the most popular mojito recipe in France with over 90K saves – which is a whopping 900% more than its runner up!
