I'd give you some whole big spiel about how food Instagram combines your loves of, well, food and Instagram, but that's not why you're here. You're here for recs. And we got you. Let's get right into it—here are the food-centric, food-adjacent, and food-everything accounts you need to be following right now.
@evakosmasflores (Eva Kosmas Flores)
Eva's account is dark and pastry-filled and moody as all hell. She's like...if Christine McConnell had a little sister who wasn't as fond of creatures and lived in the Pacific Northwest. Those kind of food vibes.
@wrightkitchen (Brittany Wright)
This Insta is worth a follow if you're into rainbows, seasoning, and the freshest produce this planet's ever seen. It's all good stuff, guys.
@misterkrisp (Jessica Siskin)
Jessica Siskin is a crisp master. She's quite literally mastered all crisp. Rice crispies, that is. She can make any and everything out of rice crispies.
@new_fork_city (Gillian Presto, Natalie Landsberg, and Emily Morse)
Looking to curate a weekend trip to NYC based on food alone? These girls are here to help. They've hit just about every trendy spot in the city and a bunch more you'd never even dream existed.
@jen_beauchesne (Jen Beauchesne)
As a Brooklyn-based food stylist, it is quite literally Jen's job to make food look good. She does exactly that with just about everything she touches. She posts sparingly, but when she does, it's so, so good.
@lideylikes (Lidey Heuck)
Lidey is one of two of Ina Garten's longtime assistants—not only does she post snippets of what they're working on every so often, but she, too, is an excellent cook and baker who takes pride in her own (super pretty) creations.
@brunchboys (Jeremy Jacobowitz)
Are you into good-looking men eating better-looking food? Boy, have I got an Insta follow for you!
@thaliaho (Thalia Ho)
The genius behind Butter and Brioche also thrives on Instagram, of course. Her account is nothing but cookies crumbling and sugary goodness. Ugh. Yum.
@kenjilopezalt (J. Kenji López-Alt)
Kenji's long contributed to Serious Eats and does a lot of his experimenting at home. Sure, the food porn is great, but his daughter Alicia (and her tiny baby hand reaching for a snack) is the star of most photos.
@bravetart (Stella Parks)
Another Serious Eats icon, Stella's feed is alllllll beautiful bakes, all the time.
@minimalistbaker (Dana Shultz)
She's arguably one of the biggest names (online, at least) in plant-based circles. Her recipes generally feature less than 10 ingredients, but you'd never know it just by looking at them.
@jakecohen (Jake Cohen)
Not only is Jake always creating new and exciting things (I mean, see above), but he's also the punniest food person on the webz. And who doesn't like a good food pun?
@sarahcarey1 (Sarah Carey)
You know how we discussed Lidey and Ina? Sarah's certainly not Martha Stewart's assistant, but she is responsible for a lot of the gorgeous food you see come out of the Martha Stewart world.
@pizzalovesemily (Emily Pizza)
Listen. The Emily Pizza empire is responsible for a lot of good-looking pizza, sure, but it's brought some of the most beautiful burgers known to mankind into this world. And they post about them often.
@indulgenteats (Jen Balisi)
This lady's mastered the art of the close-up...and knows how to eat. You will love her. You will love her so much.
@abrowntable (Nik Sharma)
Not only is Nik a columnist at the San Francisco Chronicle, but he also wrote an already renowned cookbook this year. His food is reflective of his North Indian and Goan heritage and it's unfailingly gorgeous.
@girleatworld (Melissa Hie)
This account is more of a food- and travel-porn hybrid, but Melissa is excellent at combining those two worlds.
@nonstopeats (Nonstop Eats)
If you're not sold by the above video of Cinnabons luxuriously being frosted, know that the man behind this account is a fast food junkie. More burgers, fries, and other things you dream about right this way.
@smittenkitchen (Smitten Kitchen)
They know what they're doing over there, guys.
@delish (Delish. Yes. Us.)
To be fair, we also know what we're doing. And we are extremely good at what we do. :)
