    The most popular surprising.2022 recipes

    As every year we start the new year with a short review of the last year. This time under the title "The most popular surprising.2022 recipes". We had a lot of new recipes as we have been reworking older recipes from the sister site gerechtenweb. And these were not yet available on surprising.recipes.

    We also changed to the Feast Plugin, with a new layout. It is optimized for foodblogs. I am still working on the optimisation and the full deployment of the potential. So let us wait and see what is still to come!

    But let us start with an overview of the most popular surprising.recipes in 2022.

    1. Banana omelette for breakfast

    This Banana peel curry is probably the most surprising.recipe on the site. Which also perfectly reflects the purpose and the idea of the website. It switched places with banana omelette in 2022. But bananas still stay on top!

    3. Fiskasúpa - Icelandic fish soup

    I created this Fiskasúpa after running a marathon in Reykjavik, Iceland back in 2017. It always had a decent traffic and made it to the top 10 for the first time in 2021. And now it even ends up on the third place in our list of the most popular surprising.2022 recipes. I love it!

    And right away we have a second newcomer in the top 10. And this Käsespätzle didn't even need one year to make it to the list. It is quite uncommon that new recipes make it amongst the 10 most popular in their first year. Spätzle is a South-German type of pasta. And in combination with cheese you have your German version of Mac&Cheese.

    Basically this is more a kitchen hack than a recipe. But the question "how to make three mini fried eggs out of one normal chicken egg?" remains popular. It ranks already for four years in a row in our list of most popular surprising.2022 recipes.

    10. Ghent chicken casserole - Waterzooi

    The last place in this overview was very expensive. As several recipes were ranking very close to each other it was only decided in the last days of 2022 which one would take place number 10. And I am quite happy that it is indeed a Belgian Waterzooi, a specialty from the city of Ghent, that made it into the list!

    Ghent chicken casserole - waterzooi
    Waterzooi, or Ghent chicken casserole, is one of the classic dishes from the Belgian cuisine. It is super delicious and easy to make.

    But as the battle was so close, I also want to make an honorable mention of the close contenders:

    • Champignons à la Grecque.
    • Carrot jam with citrus.
    • Stale croissant chocolate pudding.
    • Healthy breakfast cake.

    Promising stars

    New recipes do not often make it to the list of the most popular recipes in their first year. Although we had an exception this year with Käsespätzle - the German Mac&Cheese. But two other recipes also made a vibrant start and have the potential to make it to the list: cherry coconut cake and delicious dessert crepes with pudding. Be sure to try these ones!
