TikTok food reigned supreme but you’ll also find popular recipes from big-name shows and celebrities that we couldn’t get enough of this year. And if that doesn’t intrigue you we know the cicada will. So what are you waiting for? Scroll on to check it out!

Back in January a TikTok for a baked feta pasta recipe went viral followed by dozens of copycat recipe videos. The recipe is so easy to make: You simply bake a block of feta cheese with lots of olive oil and cherry tomatoes then add garlic basil red pepper flakes and pasta. Voilà the easiest most delicious recipe of 2021 — as long as you use real feta cheese so the sauce doesn’t get grainy. Don’t like feta? No problem this recipe has also been adapted for other easy one-pot baked pasta dishes like macaroni and cheese.
Bacon jam is another TikTok success. While the condiment is certainly not a new phenomenon chef Gordon Ramsey created a bacon jam craze when he posted a TikTok recipe for his egg and bacon jam toast. Chef John’s Bacon Jam is known to be eaten on sandwiches burgers or even just crostini as an appetizer.
Birria is traditionally served as a meat stew but this Mexican dish has gained new attention this year for a very different reason.

The crispy tacos are topped with onions and cilantro and are usually served with the broth on the side for dipping.
