Our Favourite Food Geeks to Follow on Instagram

The biggest Instagram cliché is clicking food. We all have that one friend, who stops everyone from digging in, just to click about a dozen angles of the meal.

I’d be that one friend. Friends and family protest about how hungry they are, but I manage to delay their first bite. Now no one knows they’re not to ruin the plating before I click my Instagram-worthy picture. I know who would sympathize with my plight, the people managing these accounts. Okay, beware, once you follow them, checking your insta feed is going to increase your trips to the fridge. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.

2. The Art Of Plating

While it may not seem important for our everyday meals, but the way the food is plated affects the way we enjoy a meal. Especially for food professionals, the quality of presentation of food is as important as its taste. That’s the only way to make your food look irresistibly appetizing. Continue enhancing the looks and they’ll keep coming back for more. Follow this account to get inspired by the delicately assembled meals.
