This take on hash browns features more vibrant colours than the usual beige tatties and onions. With spring onions, carrots and red onions, it makes for an aesthetically pleasing update on a cooked breakfast staple.

The crepe cake has been a constant favourite among social media users since the days of Buzzfeed Tasty’s pioneering food content on Instagram. This evolution of the trend sees the cake topped with strawberry jelly.
Unlike many of the other videos featured here, this video does not show the cooking process, instead focusing on slicing the end result.

Tapping into the desire among university freshers for quick and easy recipes, this toasted sandwich puts a premium twist onto cheese toasties.
Despite the thick cut white loaf and green pesto common to many kitchens in university halls, the brie and prosciutto fillings are more reminiscent of the week after student loans arrive in bank accounts than of cheap and cheerful mealtimes.

Somewhat reminiscent of a Taco Bell Crunchwrap, this falls firmly into the category of fakeaways, in which users attempt to recreate fast food favourites at home. Often, these are more cost-effective and healthier than the original, with this Crunchwrap adaptation featuring chicken instead of beef.

Not every video has to star a gourmet confection. Homepride pasta bake sauces, Peperamis and Aldi meats form the base of the family-friendly and filling pasta bake in this TikTok.

Air fryers are flying off shelves in supermarkets. It stands to reason that there’s no shortage of demand for inspiration as to what to cook in the new purchases.
These air fryer sausage rolls are a cheap and cheerful option, made with pre-rolled pastry to save time.
