Fancy trying something new this year? We've rounded up some of the trendiest foods that we're sure you're going to be eating in 2015.

In 2014, we've seen the rise in hybrid foods from cronuts to duffins, American BBQ food has taken its place in the UK and marshmallows have become the thing to make. But what's in store for 2015? And what will you be making next year?

Click through to see the foods that you're going to be eating this year...

No-bake cheesecakes

This year it's all about no-bake cheesecakes. We just love a classic cheesecake especially with a buttery biscuit base and soft, creamy filling but what makes cheesecakes even better is when there's no oven involved. Roll up those sleeves and join the no-bake crew!

How to line a tart tin

After 2014's round of The Great British Bake Off back in August, we've had one thing on our mind and that's pastry! Whether it's the all-butter kind that melts in your mouth or golden pastry that's sturdy enough to encase a meat pie, we think pastry is going to be a big hit next year.

Quinoa

Squash and feta quinoa

Quinoa might sound all fancy and expensive but it's becoming a well-known grain in the food industry and now you can find it in the supermarket. Full of protein, this grain seen as the healthier alternative to rice or pasta. Why not give it a try next year? You never know, it might become a regular. Also, freekah and kaniwa are ones to watch next too...

Korean food

Kimchi

We love Korean food and we have an inkling that it's about to hit the UK by storm. One of our favourite elements has to be kimchi, which is made from fermented Chinese cabbage and uses only 7 ingredients. Are you tempted?

Chocolate

Nutella truffles

With more and more chocolate moulds and DIY kits hitting the shelves, we've got a feeling in our goodtoknow guts that chocolate is going to be a biggie next year and we can't wait, especially as we've heard that it's running out - now is the time to overindulge!

Coconut

Coconut cake

With coconut water becoming more and more popular this year (it's one of the fastest-growing soft drinks), we think there's definitely a space in your kitchen cupboard for something coconutty in 2015. Be it coconut oil, be coconut water or even just desiccated coconut, this tropical fruit is going to become the one to watch.

Miniature bakes

Mini banana and walnut loaves

Bite-sized bakes are the new cupcakes after starring on this year's GBBO. Miniature Victoria sponges, scones and loaf cakes are only a handful of the sweet treats that you can make bite-sized. Like they say, good things come in small packages...

Cauliflower

Cauliflower cheese

Cauliflower is soon to become the new kale, so watch this space. This easy to cook vegetable is packed with nutrients and can transform the simplest dish into a mouth-watering treat. Plus, it's so inexpensive! For us, it's going to be cauliflower rice and cauliflower bakes all the way.

Interested in discovering meats you might not have tried before? Venison is naturally low in fat and rich in nutrients, and it's one of the fastest-rising foodie search terms at the end of 2014 - which means more people are Googling it. If you fancy giving your Sunday roast a new lease of life or you just fancy trying something new in 2015, our money is on venison.

Sea salt is much better for you than your average table salt as it's full of minerals and will give your dish that little bit more flavour. We're going to be using sea salt to season our cuts of meat, roasted veggies and more.
