Baked Feta Pasta
I’d rank this as the best TikTok food trend. Therefore, it tops my list. I was a bit sceptical when I first saw it as feta cheese by itself has such a crumbly texture. Oh, boy, I was wrong. It’s creamy, cosy, comforting and super-easy to make. It’s perfect for those last-minute meals for you and your better half. It’s great if you’re entertaining too. This pasta will please even the pickiest eaters.
You just need a handful of ingredients as most of the magic for this pasta happens in the oven.
You’ll need:
- 10-12 Cherry tomatoes
- 100 grams of feta cheese
- ½ cup olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 100 grams pasta of your choice (preferably penne or macaroni)
- A few basil leaves
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
- Take an oven-safe baking dish. Place the cherry tomatoes and minced garlic, and drizzle olive oil on top. Season with salt and pepper. Toss well.
- Place the feta block in the middle of the tray and flip it a few times so that it coats with the olive oil and seasoning.
- Bake for 35 minutes until the cherry tomatoes burst and the feta cheese melts.
- Transfer the cooked pasta to the baking dish and toss to combine.
- Adjust seasoning if required and garnish with fresh basil leaves.
- Serve immediately.

- Cloud Bread
You may have seen the TikTok cloud bread on Instagram, right? It’s literally become a 2021 food trend with bloggers and foodies trying it out. It gets its super-fluffy and jiggly texture from just three ingredients (we’re not kidding). You only need egg whites, sugar and cornstarch and tonnes of whipping to make this bread ready. Ideally, though it’s referred to as “bread”, it’s not really bread-like. You could call it a large, baked meringue. You can even add some food colour to make your clouds pretty and rainbow-like. Whatever it is, we tried it and loved it. It may not be the most delicious thing but it’s light and airy.
You’ll need:
- Egg whites from 3 large eggs
- 30 grams sugar
- 15 grams corn starch
- Food colouring (optional)
Method
- Preheat the oven to 220-degree Celsius.
- Use a stand mixer or regular beater to whip the egg whites until frothy.
- Add the sugar slowly until bubbles start appearing
- Sift in the cornstarch and continue to beat until thick peaks form. This process usually takes 5-6 minutes.
- Scoop out the meringue onto a parchment paper and shape into a fluffy cloud.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes.
- The outside should turn golden brown.
- Cool it and enjoy.

If you’re someone who loves potatoes in any form, shape or fashion, you’re going to love these Accordion Potatoes. They made their debut earlier this year on TikTok and ever since then, we have people going gaga on these versatile potato fries. Its eye-catching shape makes it tastier. Making these potato skewers might seem a bit tricky as it has certain technicalities involved. However, once you ace it, there’s no looking back.

- 2 large potatoes

Method
- Pre-heat the oven to 180-degree Celsius.
- Wash and peel the potatoes.
- Cut the ends. Next, cut into ¼ inch slices.
- Place the slice on a chopping board horizontally and cut lengthwise. However, do not cut it through.
- Flip the slice and now cut diagonal lines.
- Push the skewer through the potato and stretch it out starting from the bottom and working your hands through the middle.
- It should resemble a spiral.
- Brush the garlic butter mixture on it and bake for 30-40 minutes until potatoes cook through and the sides turn golden brown and crispy.
- Allow them to cool and enjoy with sour cream.

- Tortilla Wrap Hack
The Tortilla wrap trend is something we love. Brownie points for being so versatile. You can literally try it on a homemade roti also. As we already know, there’s nothing a tortilla can’t do, right? This tortilla fold hack is the best quadrant quesadilla you can enjoy. Honestly speaking, there’s no particular recipe to follow. You can go crazy with your favourite fillings, and create a sweet or savoury tortilla.
All you have to do is create a slit halfway through the diameter of a tortilla or roti, and divide it into four quadrants. Put a unique filling on each quadrant. For example, if you’re making a Mexican tortilla, you can have refried beans, grated cheese, guacamole and salsa.
Once you’re done with your filling, fold carefully and pop it onto a skillet. A grill pan works best. Make sure its crisp on both sides before you serve it. It’s so tasty that you’ll actually be savouring each filling with every bite.
