I have a rule that I'm not allowed to browse Pinterest right before dinner. Drooling over the endless stream of tasty-looking recipe photos is simply torture when I'm hungry to begin with! And recently I've had to add Instagram to my self-imposed browsing ban as the roster of foodies with a talent for mouthwatering photography seems to grow longer each day. Here are a few favorites that are making my tummy rumble of late!
If a moody take on indulgent vegetarian cooking is your thing, then Valentina Hortus (top) is your gal. The Italian chef and food blogger captures the beauty in everything from spilled spices to wrinkled greens and presents it to us with a Renaissance still life sensibility. Meanwhile, Sini at My Blue and White Kitchen serves up warm soups and Scandinavian baking inspired by the dreamy light and the local traditions of her Swedish home.
Last but not least, gluten-free baking has a new champion in the form of Fig & Table. While Instagrammer Rebekah doesn't focus exclusively on sweets in her feed (there are plenty of fried eggs snaps for the ovaphiles amongst us!) I'm especially drawn to her close-ups of cakes and cookies—all of them made with unrefined ingredients. Tell me, whose Instagram feeds make you hungry?
