Whether Ratatouille is your favorite Disney movie or you are actually thinking about culinary school, you should be following a LOT of food Instas. I probably follow around 50 and I’m not sure whether I should be embarrassed or proud. Join me (please) in following the best of the best food creations to bless your feed daily.
1. @halfbakedharvest
She’ll show you how to put in a little bit of effort but make it look like you put in a lot. You’re welcome in advance for all the compliments you’re going to receive. Oh, she also has a cookbook.
2. @pinchofyum
They have video recipes that are literally so easy they don’t have a written out recipe. Pretty hard to screw that up.
3. @whatsgabycookin
Gaby’s whole world is dedicated to food, and I’m honestly very jealous. Besides having a website dedicated to her recipes and her best food travel stories, she also has her own cookbook with the same title as her Insta handle.
4. @food52
Everything they make is just stunning food. You’re not gonna want to eat what you make because it will look like an actual work of art.
5. @smittenkitchen
Their specialty is upscale comfort food that’s still easy to make. And they test the recipes first to make sure they’re simple enough while also tasting next-level. Count me in.
7. @thefeedfeed
These recipes come straight from an Insta community of food lovers. If you already know how to whip up something good tag #feedfeed in your post and maybe you’ll get lucky with a feature.
8. @foodblogfeed
Do you ever see a food pic on Instagram and sort of hope that no one ate it (read: destroyed it)? That’s how this whole feed makes me feel.
8. @minimalistbaker
Something we all wish we could be. But then again, if we follow the recipes should be able to copy the minimalist baker aesthetic, too.
10. @forksoverknives
Their whole thing is clean eating and focusing more on nutrition. And honestly if food can look this good while still being good for you, then why not?
11. @hotforfood
Sexualizing food isn’t weird, right? This handle is a constant mood when almost every account you follow is a food account. And it’s vegan. Who knew vegan food could look so good?
12. @damn_delicious
Delicious food and the occasional corgi make it hard for anyone not to follow. As far as food Instas go, this one does a great job of combining my two favorite things.
13. @testkitchen
They test out the recipes first to make sure they’re foolproof. So easy a caveman could do it.
14. @cooksillustrated
Like Sports Illustrated but a million times better, because it’s food.
15. @seriouseats
Seriously good, what else can I say?
16. @healthy_ish
They just get it. For when you want to be healthy but then remember that time you (accidentally) ate an entire pint of ice cream.
17. @basically
Coming at you live from Bon Appetit Mag is the best of the basics.
18. @epicurious
All your food questions and curiosities will be answered.
19. @saveurmag
Bringing the world cuisine off the pages of their magazine and straight to your Insta feed. Honestly, who even reads magazines anymore?
19. @csaffitz
She’s a Senior Food Editor at Bon Appetit and I’m seriously envious. She also successfully made her own Lucky Charms marshmallows. Talk about talent.
20. @yossyarefi
A pie aficionado who loves to share her creations. I love her for that.
21. @ashrod
Not only does she share all her pretty food, she also has an outdoor cooking show which is equal parts entertaining and unrealistic for the rest of us.
22. @sproutedkitchen
All the things natural and in season make for food that tastes the way it was meant to taste.
23. @spoonforkbacon
You know, just your typical utensils.
24. @tastingtable
They’ll give you advice on everything you want to eat and drink.
25. @eater
Also look out for their location-specific Instas, like Eater NY, for the best of the best in a city near you.
26. @munchies
VICE gives us their hot take on food and I’m not complaining about what I see.
27. @bestfood_aroundtheworld
As the name suggests, they give you the best delicacies from all over the globe. BRB – planning a trip revolving around food.
28. @tastethisnext
They already know what you’re next bite should be even before you know what you’re in the mood for.
29. @noodleworship
For those of you who pray to the noodle gods and despise the gluten-free fad. #sendnoods
30. @surfnoturf
Bring in the dancing lobsters!
31. @funwithfries
If every day is Fry-day for you, you should def be following. Also if you can never decide between waffle or curly so you decide to get both.
32. @bellythebeast
Like Beauty and the Beast, but different.
