The Most-Googled Recipe of 2017 Will Definitely Surprise You

These days, the thought of flipping through a cookbook — let alone purchasing one to use, rather than just take up space on your coffee table — seems a bit dated. Unless you're keen on tradition, why waste more time than necessary when you have a smartphone, tablet, or, even better, high-tech digital assistants that can pull up recipes for you? Google in particular is a great online resource, housing tons of recipe searches (granted, some are better than others) at absolutely no cost. Talk about an incentive!

Curious to know what other foodies around the country are into? You're in luck. Google just released its annual Year In Search report, which happens to include the top ten most searched recipes of 2017. Sorry avocado fans, guacamole didn't make the cut this time around. But the dishes that did are just as delicious — and definitely not what you'd expect.
