30 recipe and cooking creators in the United States from the October 2026 index
Public profiles only: handle, platform, follower band, niche labels, and stated country. Handles open the creator's profile page where one exists, otherwise their own account. Contact details are part of the product and stay masked here.
Swipe sideways to see every column.
Avatars are generated illustrations assigned by a hash of the public handle, not creator photos. The same handle always draws the same character, and the character says nothing about what the creator looks like.

How recipe and cooking creators in the United States compare
The median creator here has 1,608 followers, below the index median of 1,680. 13% post on TikTok against 7% across the index, and 51.9% link a portfolio site against 34.4% overall.
11% of them carry no niche label in the index at all, which is why this list is built from the creator's own bio rather than from the niche taxonomy: a niche search would not surface them.
By niche label, the largest overlaps are food (52%), parenting (35%), fitness (24%), beauty (19%). Labels overlap, so a creator can count towards more than one.
Only 24% of the 54 recipe and cooking creators in the United States have more than 10,000 followers; 41% are in the 1k to 5k range and 30% are under 1,000, with a median of 1,608. Follower figures are shown as bands because exact counts drift between exports. 51.9% link a portfolio site from their profile, a useful second signal that they take briefs.
What recipe and cooking creators in the United States cost
70% of the recipe and cooking creators in the United States on this page have fewer than 5,000 followers, which is the calculator's nano tier; 20% fall between 5k and 50k and 9% are above 50k.

Questions about recipe and cooking creators in the United States
How many recipe and cooking creators in the United States are there?
54 at the 7 October 2026 export: 47 on Instagram and 7 on TikTok. Every one passed UGC Agent's qualification check, meaning the bio or recent content publicly advertises UGC work. The index grows with each search run, so treat the count as a floor.

These 54 creators are 25% of the 216 recipe and cooking creators (median 2,513 followers), and 1% of the 7,570 creators in the United States (median 1,455 followers). Their own median is 1,608 followers. Each wider list is linked above if you need more depth than this segment holds.
How many followers does a typical recipe and cooking creator in the United States have?
The median is 1,608 followers, with the middle half between 817 and 9,911. 70% have fewer than 5,000 followers and only 24% are above 10,000. That is by design: the index is built around creators who make content for brands to run, not around reach.
How current is this list?
Counts and the 30 listed profiles come from the 7 October 2026 export of the index, and the page regenerates with each export. Follower figures are shown as bands because exact counts drift, and the listed profiles rotate so the same accounts are not on show permanently.
Can I get their emails?
Not on this page. Emails, fit scores, and portfolio links are the product. Run a recipe and cooking creators in the United States search inside UGC Agent, where every plan starts with a 3-day trial (Start free), or see pricing for list sizes.
