Upside Down Cooking

In 2023, food writer and events manager Dominic Franks posted his recipe for a simple upside-down onion tart: “I gave it my twist, filmed it, uploaded it and went to bed.” The next day, Dom woke up to over 1 million likes and one hundred thousand new followers – just like that, his hit instagram series Cooking Upside Down was born. A year later Dom has a growing audience of over 650k followers, who tune in for his witty banter, yummy recipes, and stay for the tantalisingly delicious results. He has 9M reach, and regularly gets up to 4M views per video.
