GETTING SOCIAL


Social networks are a window to discovering new dishes and recipes from other cultures, as well as a tool for learning about new restaurants. Although there is no clear priority use when it comes to using social networks, not in the general results nor in any specific country, the desire to innovate with new recipes is the first reason why 20.9% of the respondents use them, while for 16.3% it’s their main source for discovering new restaurants.


OTHER ACTIVITIES


In the countries surveyed, the main activities that take place in the kitchen are primarily meals (42.8%), followed by gatherings with guests (29%), although significant differences do exist between Anglo-Saxon countries and the rest. The results suggest that the Anglo-Saxon culture uses the kitchen space more frequently as a meeting point than Mediterranean countries, Scandinavia and Singapore. These are countries with a longstanding tradition of hosting social encounters in other areas of the house, such as the dining room or the living/dining room. Italy and Spain (64.5% and 56.5% respectively), are the countries with a higher percentage when it comes to using the kitchen to prepare meals. They are followed by Singapore, with 50.2%, and Scandinavia, with 47%. However, Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom and the United Arab Emirates use the kitchen more frequently as a place for other activities, with a percentage even higher than that for preparing main meals. On the other hand, Canada is the country where it is most common to use the kitchen as a work space, with 27.2%
