While hops are largely associated with the production of beer, the versatile ingredient can actually be used to make a number of tasty dishes and drinks. The new book is called 'Hedonistic Hops' and it is the first cookbook dedicated to the ingredient. Hops have a unique flavor profile and they can be extremely bitter if not used in the right way. Porter teaches you how to use the exotic ingredient to create recipes that are balanced and flavorful. From condiments to desserts, Porter's recipes use the unique flavor of hops to create a number of tasty dishes. Porter is currently running a crowdfunding campaign on [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cook-well) to finish the cookbook and help people everywhere learn how to cook with hops. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.8/10 - Popularity: 22% | Activity: 23% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Hops-based Cooking:** Exploring other culinary uses for hops beyond just making beer. - **Ingredient-focused Cookbooks:** Creating cookbooks that explore one specific ingredient and all the ways it can be used. - **Crowdfunded Cookbooks:** Utilizing crowdfunding platforms to publish unique and niche cookbooks. ### Who This Affects Most - **Cookbook Publishing:** Opportunity for publishing houses to create more specialized cookbooks focused on a singular ingredient. - **Craft Brewing:** Opportunity for craft brewers to expand into the culinary world and showcase their ingredients in a new way. - **Crowdfunding Platforms:** Opportunity for crowdfunding platforms to expand into niche markets such as cookbooks that explore one specific ingredient. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Branded Pickle-Centric Cookbooks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grillos-presents-pickled-fresh.md) - [History-Centric Recipe Cookbooks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tasting-history-cookbook.md) - [Hoppy Beer-Like Coffees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hopped-up-coffee.md) - [Illustrated Kombucha Guides](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kombucha-guide.md) - [Limited-Edition Book-Inspired Beers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/book-ipa.md) - [Culinary Comedian Cookbooks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foodheim-a-culinary-adventure.md) - [Wild Food Recipe Cookbooks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-wild-game-cookbook.md) - [Action Game-Expanded Cookbooks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/genshin-impact-cookbook.md) - [Hoppy Sparkling Waters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hoplark.md)
