If you’re like me then you think about food a lot. I even have the problem when I can be eating a beautiful meal but already planning the next one in my head. Over the past few years, I have been trying to working on piecing together my next masterpiece. When I lived in New York (my foodie heaven), I was surrounded by food porn. Some people get turned on by a sexy fireman stripping with “It’s Raining Men” playing in the background. Most foodies can agree: I’d rather see a beautifully plated dish or have a salted caramel dipping sauce being poured over pineapple-upside down cake doughnuts with “Let’s Get It On” adding room for foreplay. Food is my art. Most people travel around the world to discover art museums or historical landmarks. Me? I traveled the world and each place I went I found a world-renowned bakery. Let’s be real: we all love some good food porn, and that’s what I’m going to help you with. I have found 7 instagrams that have made my tastebuds tingle.
-
Half Baked Harvest: My absolute favorite is managed by a Cleveland woman (Ohio, represent!) named Tieghan Gerard. Not only are her recipes works of art, they are doable. Over the summer, my boyfriend and I completed around 10 of these heavenly recipes and have never been happier. We cannot wait to continue trying these. If someone wants to make me her latest, chocolate chip banana bread french toast muffins with cinnamon streusel you will be my favorite human being ever. (Instagram: @halfbakedharvest)

2) Hungry Betches: If you’re looking just for some eye candy then this is the place to be. They’ve travelled all over the world and know how to do food right. They don’t normally have recipes, but make sure to see where they’re getting all of these New York treats. I never thought a bagel could be so attractive! (Instagram: @hungrybetches)

There are of course thousands of others- with probably the most popular as Food In the Air. These are the accounts that aren’t always talked about, but sure as hell deserve to be. If you ever want to talk about food or give me s’more (punny) instagrams to follow I’d love to hear it! Others I’d love to mention: The Peachy Pear (@the_peachy_pear), Baker By Nature (@bakerbynature), Copenhagen Cakes (@copenhagencakes), and Bacon and Butter (@baconandbuttersac). Hope these make your tummy rumble with delight!
