Whether you’re looking to improve your culinary prowess, searching for dinner-party inspiration or simply want to scroll through a feed of scrumptiously enticing treats, these foodie Instagram accounts will let you have your cake and eat it. By KATIE BERRINGTON
Judy Kim
Unsurprisingly, food stylist and creative consultant Judy Kim always posts pictures of dishes that are ultra-pleasing in presentation. From beautifully adorned cakes and perfectly latticed pies to seriously delicious-looking pastas, once you start scrolling, it’s difficult to stop.
In the Midnight Kitchen
A word of warning before you visit food photographer and Cordon Bleu chef Zorah Booley’s In the Midnight Kitchen Instagram feed: it’s best to avoid when you’re feeling peckish. Her alluring images of delectable sweet treats (cinnamon-roll pancakes, dalgona-coffee donuts, Nutella pear tart…) will require you to hone your baking skills immediately.
Melissa Hemsley
Cookbook author, columnist and self-described “lover of leftovers” Melissa Hemsley is the feel-good factor your Instagram feed needs. A champion of Fairtrade and committed to a sustainable approach to food, Hemsley shares seasonal, comforting recipes, plus the stories and people behind them, with a positive focus on reducing waste.
Hetty McKinnon
Author of cookbooks Community; Neighborhood; Family and To Asia, with Love, Hetty McKinnon creates recipes that are soul-searching and personal – each an exploration of identity through cooking, drawing inspiration from her multicultural background. Expect an array of vibrant vegetable dishes and mouthwatering dumplings.
Spoon Fork Bacon
Together, food stylist Jenny Park and photographer Teri Lyn Fisher are Spoon Fork Bacon. With three cookbooks to their names, their feed of easy-to-recreate and utterly tantalizing recipes has racked up more than 450k followers. (Take a look at their cacio e pepe pasta pie and it’s not difficult to see why.)
Ixta Belfrage
As a recipe developer for Yotam Ottolenghi (and co-author of recent cookbook Flavour), Ixta Belfrage’s own Instagram account is filled with an abundance of vivid, innovative and wholesome dishes, along with easy-to-follow recipes on her Stories.
Half Baked Harvest
With more than three million followers and two bestselling cookbooks under her belt, it’s fair to say that Tieghan Gerard, aka Half Baked Harvest, is foodie Instagram royalty. Her strikingly shot recipes are delicious, unpretentious and creative, with takes on both sweet and savory, healthy and indulgent dishes – try the gooey, flourless chocolate-espresso cake first.
Anja Dunk
Food writer, cook and artist Anja Dunk specializes in traditional German bakes – and particularly those that come into their own over the festive period, which is the subject of her latest book, Advent. But her recipes are year-round treats, as are the atmospheric kitchen shots peppered throughout her feed.
Rachel Ama
Tantalizing plant-based dishes fill the feed of YouTuber and vegan chef Rachel Ama (along with her picks of vegan beauty products). Taking inspiration from her Caribbean and West African roots, Ama’s food is bright and flavorsome, and includes vegan takes on classics that are intensely appetizing (think crispy jerk-barbecue tacos).
