Whether you are an ardent food lover or even a food blogger, inspiration can come from anywhere. Instagram is one of my favorite places for food inspiration … even more so than Pinterest, surprisingly enough.
Sometimes it’s the colors of the photo that capture my eye.
Sometimes it’s a unique plate or food prop.
Sometimes it’s the actual food itself.
Sometimes it’s a simple reminder of a dish I haven’t had in awhile.
Sometimes it’s the ushering in of a new season, and all the delicious foods that go along with it.
And sometimes … a glimpse of the right picture at the right time … will inspire me all the way into the kitchen at that exact moment.
Today I’m sharing some of my favorite food-related Instagram accounts.
Because we all need a little more food inspiration in our lives.
I love BehindFoodCarts because I think it’s the next best thing to owning my own food cart. Although largely based in the Bay Area, there is no shortage of deliciousness being served up here. Also the authors of Food Truck Road Trip: A Cookbook, you can visit their website at Behind the Food Carts.
I love the moody backgrounds on TwoRedBowls. And ingredients laid around just so… in a seemingly haphazard, yet very carefully orchestrated, way.
KimberleyHasselbrink, author of Vibrant Food, celebrates the seasons in the photographs she takes, both in the food-related ones, and the ones of her surroundings.
SpoonForkBacon never fails to post photos with colors that draw you in, but in the most natural way, with heavily relying on props. It look like you just pulled up a chair and sat down in the kitchen. Lately the focus is on eggs, in celebration of their cookbook, The Perfect Egg, that was just released earlier this month. Their web site is Spoon Fork Bacon, where you will find many original recipes to go along with the IG pictures.
LoveandLemons has such bright, happy photos, it will have you running for your local farmer’s market, rightfully so. Recipes for her photos can be found on her site, Love and Lemons.
