Sure, plenty of us will snap a pic of a bangin’ meal we had on holiday to share on Instagram, but that hardly compares to the striking, heartwarming and ridiculously appetising photographs submitted to this year’s World Food Photography Awards sponsored by Tenderstem® Bimi® Broccolini. 

2025’s panel of judges waded through almost 10,000 submissions from 70 different countries, and the winners of the 25 categories were announced at The Mall Galleries in London this week by chef and food writer Yotam Ottolenghi.  

A free exhibition of 185 finalist images will be on display there in London until May 25, but if you’re not going to make it, scroll on for ’s 10 favourite snaps from the collection. Napkins at the ready.
