The Phone Eats First Cookbook

A compilation of the tastiest, most popular Instagram- and TikTok-famous recipes from top food bloggers, chefs, and influencers, selected for everyday foodies to recreate their own viral moments at home.

Simultaneously celebrating and poking a little fun at our social media-obsessed culture, The Phone Eats First is an ode to how platforms like Instagram and TikTok have impacted what we eat. Best-selling author and food critic Allyson Reedy combed the internet to curate the absolute best 50 recipes, focusing on the same qualities she looks for when reviewing a restaurant: flavor, innovation, welcoming hospitality, and something that looks great on a plate, in a bowl, or, as in the case of some social media crazes, in a muffin tin.

Recipes from top food bloggers and Instagram and TikTok stars like Smitten Kitchen, The Salad Lab, The Modern Nonna and Cooking with Lynja are organized by breakfast, lunch, snacks & sides, dinner, dessert, and drinks.

This cookbook has broad appeal-from influencers with hundreds of thousands of followers to home cooks who like to get creative in the kitchen looking for tasty new ideas. Just remember the cardinal rule of social media: The Phone Eats First.
