The 13 best food porn accounts on Instagram
Fuck Soylent.
The so-called food of the future cant boast verdant shades of green like a freshly washed asparagus stalk. It wont inspire you to cook tonight. Nobodys running home to watch a haul video of those Franzia-packaging-meets-almond-milk-color bags of mush or dreaming up new and different ways to slice it up. Soylent has never inspired erotic photography.
But real food has. And in so many ways, even the non-erotic photography of a succulent vegetable or golden pancake or juicy peach has an arousing feel to it too: Theres a reason its calledfood porn.
Below, weve collected 13 of the best food porn accounts on Instagram. From mouthwatering meats and perfect plates to delectable desserts, youll find something for every palate on this menu.
1) food52
Food52 launched with the goal of becoming a hub for cooks to share recipes, tips, and tricks, but its Instagram outpost gives all of it an eminently double-tappable aesthetic. The account occasionally runs contests for user-submitted photos, but every postamateur or professional, sweet or savorywill make your mouth water.
For every time your parents told you not to play with your food, theres a post on @foodtypography. Columbus, Ohios Danielle Evans marries delicious ingredients with playful puns and a profound respect for design in this eye-catching account. The only problem? Her creations might just be too pretty to eat.
The Pioneer Woman is the online persona of desperate ranch wife Ree Drummond. While not all her posts are about foodyoull also find scenic country views and videos of basset hound Charliethe food you do see is simple, accessible, impeccably plated, and includes names like deep dish fruit pizza.
4) debperelman
Drummonds New York City-based counterpart is Smitten Kitchens Deb Perelman, who blogs from a 42-square-foot kitchen with better natural light than you could ever dream of having. Shes a comfort food junkie, but shes not afraid of a challenge, having once baked a wedding cake from the confines of her tiny kitchen. Try not to fall in love with her excellent photography and adorable children. (Full disclosure: This writer once penned an embarrassingly adoring, Julie and Juliainspired love letter to Perelman that is almost assuredly at the bottom of a towering pile of fan mail.)
5) sushiporn
When general-interest foodie favorites just wont do and Jiro Dreams of Sushi is playing for the 90th time in the background, nothing else will satisfy but sushiporn. Follow this account for a better appreciation of fine cuts of fish, knife skills, and what avocado looks like under every filter imaginable.
6) lauraponts
Laura Lpez is a food stylist by trade, so this immaculate collection of food porn should come as no surprise. Her skillfully arranged arrays of food borderline on sensory overload, with new tiny details there to reward every repeated glance.
7) fooditsgood
Gluttony is the name of the game on this account, which features many handheld monstrosities positively dripping in gooey chocolate and caramel. If you were wondering where all the guilty pleasures on Instagram live, look no further. Warning: These photos are best viewed from a treadmill, for your arteries sake.
Clarice Chians indulgent photos arent for the faint of heart. Her full-bleed food spreads will bowl you over, but its the simplest shots on plain backgrounds that have earned her thousands upon thousands of likes.
9) jbgorganic
Johnsons Backyard Garden is redefining fresh from the heart of Austin, Texas. These photos of leafy greens and perfect veggies will remind you what the farm-to-table movement is all about. And if youre lucky enough to live in Austin, they can serve as a helpful preview of whats hitting the farmers market stands that weekend.
10) olganoskovaa
Olga Noskova went viral earlier this month for her showstopping cakes with glazes so smooth they look like marbles. Britney Spears declared them too pretty to eat, but of course, youd have to get your hands on one first: Noskova bakes in Ufa, Russia, 300 miles from the Kazakhstan border.
Both adventurous and artistic, these pristine plates represent the pinnacle of presentation excellence. Sure, sometimes they might look more like a terrarium than a meal, but youll feel like youre watching the best Top Chef finale with every new post.
12) baeslovefood
Sometimes its important to balance the whimsical professional-grade posts with a healthy helping of realism, and it doesnt get any more real than an In-N-Out double-double and an array of store-bought donuts. From oozing cheeseburgers to powdered-sugar-coated pancakes, this account is what Id imagine pregnancy cravings to look like in visual form.
13) foodgawker
FoodGawker is the crown jewel of food porn. With thousands of user-submitted photos of every type of cuisine imaginable, its database is the ultimate foodie repositoryeach shot somehow better than the last. The Instagram account is dangerous enough, but if you dive into the full site, you might never make it back out.
