As Cooked on TikTok: Fan favourites and recipe exclusives from more than 40 creators!

Product Information

If you're going to peddle this as a cookbook from TikTok creators, maybe not have Giada as one of the recipe contributors? You know, cuz she's a Food Network celebrity, not a TikTok creator?

According to TikTok’s general manager Brett Armstrong, research shows humour works with this young demographic rather than serious health messages. Con el puré frío y las manos un poco humedecidas formar las croquetas colocando un puñado de puré sobre la palma de la mano. Aplanarlo y colocarle muzzarella (yo usé dos muzzarellas distintas, una pre rallada bien sequita y otra más húmeda) o el relleno deseado. Llevar los bordes hacia adentro dejando solo una cara del relleno por cubrir. Colocar más puré sobre ese lado y darle forma de bola a la croqueta. Asegurarse de que no quede aire dentro del relleno para que luego no se exploten al cocinarse. A one-pot tomato and feta pasta sauce that went viral on TikTok earlier this year.

His videos, which are intentionally camp, have the calming quality of a holiday advert – I want to pull up a chair in Thompson’s spaciously appointed kitchen, drink a glass of wine, and watch him sauté some shallots. This is the key to his popularity, and that of many others on TikTok – the recipes aren’t necessarily meant to be followed, merely watched and enjoyed. “There are some people desperate for the recipe,” he says, “but others who just want to watch and have a laugh with what I do.”Tanning is actually skin cells in trauma. There is no safe way of sun tanning,” says MIA CEO Matthew Browne. Featuring both viral and brand-new recipes from many of the community's most beloved TikTok food creators! This cookbook is full of some of TikTok's biggest trends, displaying innovative cooking and fun dishes to make at home."--Gordon and Tilly Ramsay, from the foreword

All those interactions mean that new communities around shared interests are springing up, from cake bakers to air fryer enthusiasts. There’s something here for literally every type of cook (and if it doesn’t exist . . . start it!). The recipe videos on TikTok range from weekday-effortless to weekend-extra, so whether you love instant ramen or make your own 12-yolk fresh pasta, there’s a place for you. And yes, #potato TikTok is a thing. (Tell me you love carbs without telling me you lovecarbs.) Recipes on TikTok often put an unexpected twist on a classic. One of the latest hits? Vegan ‘ribs’ made from corn on the cob. We also explored food trends and how recipe ideas go viral by making one of the foods that put TikTok on the culinary map: cloud bread. Essentially egg whites, baking soda, some sort of dairy and of course food coloring, these tie-dyed little cakes are like eating a eggy little cloud. We also learned that with something as simple as cloud bread, it's really easy to mess it up. The easiest recipes usually are. Highly addictive to its fans, and frequently baffling to those new to the platform, TikTok is based around short, jumpy videos which can be watched and shared, and thrives on viral memes. While dance and music trends tend to predominate, countless thousands of food videos are uploaded weekly, churned by its algorithm and served again and again to users who show any interest in the topic.

A year later, O’Toole has 1.5 million followers on the app, management, and a book deal with Bloomsbury ( The Food You Need is due to be published in September). It’s a remarkable rise, testament in no small part to her natural affability on camera, kitchen skills, and nose for the kind of food trends that will spread online. “I can’t believe how much it’s opened doors,” she says. Some people are desperate for the recipe, others just want to watch and have a laugh with what I do Nigel Thompson While the ratio of pictures to recipes was solid enough, the overall formatting of the book grated on me. I guess this means I’m one step away from shouting “GET OFF MY LAWN!” at the neighborhood kids. There were a few recipes I’d try (the feta pasta soup, for example, because us old farts LIKE WHAT WE LIKE STOP QUESTIONING US YOU ANNOYING WHIPPER SNAPPERS) but overall, meh*. These are the recipes that they’re most proud of and a mix of their fans’ favorites, personal go-tos, and trends with staying power. It’s a collection of just over sixty recipes—all hits, no skips (and all tested to ensure they’ll work in your kitchen). They cover every meal of the day. They’re vegan, they’re meaty, they’re solo dinners, and party food. There’s flavors from all over the globe to exhilarate your taste buds. The recipes bring you into subgenres like #steak TikTok, #cake TikTok, #drink TikTok, and more. There are some show-off recipes, but mostly, they’re surprisingly easy. Baked oats? They’re like eating a cake that took 20minutes to make start to finish. No wonder they blew up. We believe this peer-to-peer approach to highlighting the absurdity of tanning is the key to changing those perceptions,” says Roberts.
