Before we look forward to 2025 we will have a look back on 2024. A yearly habit on surprising.recipes. The website grew quite a lot, as well with visitors as with new and updated recipes. We will start with the list of the most popular surprising.recipes and then go more into detail later on.
Top most surprising.recipes in 2024
The podium
The top 3 of the list remained unchanged in comparison to last year. These are classic surprisers that attract a constant flow of visitors over the year. So a banana omelette for breakfast seems like a very good idea. And we put the peel aside, so that we can make a banana peel curry with them for lunch. Meanwhile we can make a Fiskasúpa, an Icelandic fish soup for the evening.
The places four to ten
After these three leading recipes a lot happened. Only one recipe managed to keep its place in the list. The six other top visited recipes from 2023 were replaced by very new and surprising creations. Even two different kinds of tea.
But we start on place four with a healthy coconut water smoothie. The ideal refresher on a hot summer day, a revitalization after an intensive run. Next we have the only evergreen that managed to keep its place in the list: spicy roasted pumpkin.
this means that we have five brand new recipes that make the top ten complete. We start with an appetizer, Boursin bites with smoked salmon, which is also fairly popular on gerechtenweb, the Dutch counterpart of surprising.recipes.
Next we have two Asian inspired recipes. The first is homemade tofu from soy beans. In this article you will learn how to make tofu yourself from soy beans. And we had promised two different kinds of tea. So on place eight we have Masala milk tea, my favorite drink on Holiday in Nepal.
The top ten is completed by another breakfast evergreen and the most surprising tea you can imagine. Everybody loves this healthy breakfast cake with nuts, fruits and oatmeal. And we close the list with another leftover reinvented: onion peel tea.
More surprising.2024
Although we made a break for almost over four months for other activities in summer, 2024 was a very productive year with regards to new and reworked recipes. We managed to create 24 new recipes, many of them already existed on gerechtenweb, the Dutch counterpart of surprising.recipes.
Let us highlight some Belgian specialties, scampi diabolique and Belgian endives in a Madeira sauce. Two recipes I like especially well, and I am proud of sharing with the world.
Other highlights are chicken noodle soup with broccoli and shrimps, and tomato-eggplant-lentil curry. Two Asian inspired recipes that are also gaining popularity quite well.
