Your Favorite Recipes of 2020

written by Julia

We love rankings – how about you? Once the end of a year draws closer, we always like to take a look back and present the most popular recipes of the year. So if you're interested to find out which salad (!) came in first place in 2018, click through all our annual rankings here.

As in the last years, we want to make a culinary review of the last 365 days just before the "big New Year's Eve party". When we see how our "New Year's Eve party" turns out this year, 2020 is actually summed up quite well: unexpected. We're currently sitting together with our roommates only, deep-frying some vegan mozzarella sticks, panzerotti and curd doughnuts. Because when nothing else helps anymore, deep-frying does the trick.

Corona has influenced us all in every area of life for a whole year – almost always negatively. But when we take a look at our and your cooking habits, at least we can say that there's a positive exception. People have been cooking and baking way more, and many of us have taken on fresh culinary challenges: baking the very first homemade sourdough bread, perfecting our favorite banana bread recipe, or turning cashews into vegan cheese.

What does this mean for our most popular recipes of the year? The top 10 is somewhat surprisingly rather savory than sweet, and a Christmas dish made it to the very top within just a few weeks.

We're more than happy and thankful that we were able to advise and support you in the kitchen this year and so happy that you at least enjoyed some delicious moments in 2020. Let's repeat this in 2021 – just without this Corona crisis all around us.
