You think the Wall Street bunch are the only ones tracking trends? The good folks at Perrier have put
together a SuperFriends network of food and beverage gurus — including Queer Eye for the Straight Guy’s Ted Allen — to monitor what fruits and flavors are on the ascent. The top taste this year? Blood orange. This sweet, saturated, dark-red dazzler is squeezing into salads, creams, and cocktails — like this red-hot summer recipe concocted by Mr. Allen, based on the results of Perrier’s inaugural Flavor Trend Tracker.
