The 10 Most Popular Recipes of 2025

What You Cooked the Most in 2025 — Top 10 Recipes

Happy New Year, foodie,

What a year this has been, in the kitchen, on the blog, and in life. In 2025 I published and updated hundreds of recipes, tested countless batches, filmed many long filming days… and poured a lot of love, time, and effort into every single one of them.

It was also an intense and unforgettable year personally, especially with the arrival of our second child ❤️ Balancing family life, recipe testing, blogging, YouTube, filming, editing, and everything in between has not always been easy, but your support truly keeps me going.

A lot has been happening on my YouTube channel as well this year. I spoke openly here about some of the challenges and changes, and I just want to say, thank you so much for all your support, comments, and encouragement on that video. It means the world to me.

Now… let’s look back at the recipes YOU loved the most this year. Here are the Top 10 Most Popular Recipes of 2025 — the ones you baked, cooked, shared, and came back to again and again.k through everything that happened in November, because, wow, there was a LOT.
