While Australia’s coastline is a treasure trove of seafood, the focus is shifting to sustainable seafood that embraces ocean-fresh flavours.
Plant-based dishes are popular not only for vegetarians but also for flexitarians. Innovative plant-based dishes, like burgers and mushroom-based scallops, are taking centre stage.

Over the years, Australians have become more concerned about what they eat and how it affects their health.

Diets based on fruits and vegetables are popular, and vegan and vegetarian recipes are also trending on TikTok.

The best part is that you can try out TikTok recipes with HelloFresh meal kits. Take advantage of a student discount on meal kits and give vegetarian dishes a try.

Hannah Gilbert, Director of Culinary Innovation & Operations at HelloFresh, provides insight on what she expects will lead the TikTok foodie scene in 2024:
Follow-along Cooking Videos
Food influencers are changing the way we get inspiration for food and cooking.
In 2024, we will continue to see the rise in cook-along videos via TikTok as users crave to mimic or add their own twist on recipes or food trends.
Cottage cheese, for example, was popular because it’s an exciting way to elevate a regular ingredient in many ways.

With #foodasmr having 9.4 billion views and a 180% increase in Google searches for the same query in the last month, ASMR will also continue to rise as foodies find comfort in the familiar sounds of chopping, cutting sizzling, and crunching in the cooking or mukbangs on their screen.

Super convenient
Hello Fresh is a great way to find new family recipes. It gives you fresh ideas for meals instead of cooking the same meals over and over. I also like not having to think of what to cook or what to buy, it’s all there.

Australians are going back to their roots by incorporating native ingredients into their diets. Another popular trend is fusion cuisine, which merges Australian dishes with international cuisines.
The use of cottage cheese in sandwiches, burgers, or ice creams is a growing trend, with numerous videos going viral on TikTok. Feta-fried eggs are also all the rage in top food trends.
