The 10 Food Influencers to Follow on Instagram
The only thing better than great food is great photographs of great food! Okay, maybe not- getting to eat the great food is the best. But we can absolutely appreciate a gorgeous shot of delicious meals, and it gives us some serious inspiration to up our game in the kitchen!

From healthy dishes, to baked goods, treats for kids, meat dishes, and everything in between, you can find it on Instagram!

If you love desserts, a great food influencer to follow is Rosanna Pansino! She is one of the top followed food influencers on Instagram, and with good reason. She also has a wildly successful YouTube channel Nerdy Nummies, so there is a lot of great content to dig into once you give her a follow!
From more classic desserts, to unique creations with a ‘nerdy’ twist, there is a lot to love about her food creations. Her page is really fun and vibrant with a lot of bold colors used in her foods- from cakes, to cookie pops, to pinata cookies (our favorite!), and so much more.

Ashley Alexander has a unique twist to her Instagram account, Gather & Feast, and we absolutely love it. Not only does she create and photograph delicious food, she also showcases her ingredients in the form of super creative images that look like actual pieces of art you’d want to hang on your wall!
Not only do the images look great, they are a fun way to share what actually goes into the recipes that she whips up. We love the clean, yet bold look of her page with a lot of white backgrounds that help make the colors of the foods really pop.
You’ll notice her page has a great mix of recipes- including more simple ones you can put together in an instant, to more detailed masterpieces you can totally use to impress your friends at your next dinner party!
5. Alexa Matthews

Are you more interested in finding great food to eat, rather than cooking it yourself? We understand. If so, Alexa Matthews is the food influencer to follow with her Eating My Way Through NYC Instagram page!
If you live in NYC or are planning to visit, this is a great resource for you to find all the best restaurants. Even if you aren’t currently planning to head to the Big Apple, it is still an awesome Instagram page that will have you craving all sorts of delicious foods.

9. Skye McAlpine
@skyemcalpine
Followers: 153K
We don’t know what we are more jealous of- the delicious food you can find on Skye McAlpine’s Instagram page, or the fact that she splits her time between London and Venice!
Jealousy aside, this is one of our favorite food influencers and we love seeing her beautiful food shots from on top of her dining room tables.
With influences from her various European locations, it is hard not to fall in love with this page and the delicious food she is creating. From pies, to cakes, to pasta, salads, and more – there is a little bit of everything here!
10. Holly Erickson and Natalie Mortimer
@themodernproper
Followers: 132K
Finally, we had to include Instagram page The Modern Proper on our list. This page is run by two food influencers- Holly Erickson and Natalie Mortimer.
We love how delicious all of the food looks, but what we love even more is that they focus on creating easy meals that are not short on flavor.
We are all guilty of running short on time and not knowing what to cook for dinner. Instead of turning to takeout or fast food, consider a recipe on The Modern Proper! They cover a wide variety of meals, sides, and desserts, and all look equally delicious!
Are you inspired to go whip up something delicious? Or at the very least hit ‘like’ on a few great images? We thought so! We feel the same way. These influencers do such a great job sharing their food creations – we aren’t sure if they are better chefs or photographers! Either way, the results are great Instagram accounts that will keep you inspired each and every day.
What type of food influencer do you like following? Are you all about desserts? Like to keep it healthy? Maybe a little bit of everything? Let us know!
