The results are in! Feast your eyes on the winners and runners-up of the Pinterest Food + Drink Awards 2018, which celebrates the best recipe and food styling ideas on Pinterest in the UK..

A big thank you to everyone who submitted. We were inundated with so many mouth-watering recipe ideas and creations!

The winners were selected from the shortlist with the help of foodie experts BBC Good Food in collaboration with Pinterest UK’s editorial team. The judges reviewed the recipes using three primary criteria including 1. “Passing the ‘drool’ test” — did you want to eat it?, 2. “Is it inspiring?”– does it make you want to cook it?, and 3. “Is this idea achievable”? — could you try this idea at home?

With more than 23 billion food and drink ideas on the platform worldwide, the shortlist for the best British recipes on Pinterest reveal what people in the UK are craving, saving and cooking across eight categories.

From the ‘best twist on tradition’ to the ‘best nourishing nosh’, tuck into the recipe ideas capturing the imagination of our judges in the line-up below…
