What did we eat/cook/want to cook/pretend to want to cook in 2016? It was a case of stacks on, with both pancakes and crepes making Google's top 10 recipe search terms in Australia for 2016. "How to make pancakes" was the third most searched how-to phrase, behind the perennial "how to tie a tie".
Recipe search runner-up carbonara made the move to brunch menus this year, with Small Axe Kitchen in Melbourne's Brunswick, and Brisbane's Morning After serving hangover-friendly riffs – just hold the cream.
According to Google Trends data, Australians got their bake on this year, with banana bread, scones, brownies and quiche all rising to the top.
Here's the top 10 (plus recipes to save you searching!).
