With restaurants and fast-food outlets shut during the coronavirus pandemic quarantine, people all over the world have been giving their ovens a real workout. 

Never has so much cooking been done and never have recipes been searched for as much as the past month, and Google has the results. The word ‘recipe’ was searched for a record number of times around the world. 

Comfort food won the day with banana bread the most searched recipe globally since 1 March, according to Google Trends.
