Food & Wine's Editorial Guidelines Updated on February 15, 2018 Share Tweet Pin Email Photo: S W / EyeEm/Getty Images If you check Instagram as much as we do (which might be more than we care to admit), curating the right feed is very important. Whether you're following Instagram influencers or bakers making lattices almost too impressive to eat (we said almost), it's important to choose accounts that make you happy, and hungry. But with so many enticing cheese pulls and colorful breakfast bowls out there, figuring out which accounts to follow can be overwhelming. We see it as a Goldilocks test. Does the account post too often that it's annoying or so infrequently that you forget it exists? Is it so aspirational that it makes you kind of hate your life or is it not aesthetically pleasing enough? In order to earn a follow, the account has to be just right. On top of that, there are new, trendy accounts coming into play all the time. Keeping up with it all can be exhausting. That's where we come in. We've scoured Instagram for food accounts that pass the test, featuring everything from inspirational plant-based dishes to brilliantly baked sourdough. Here, in no particular order, are 40 food Instagram accounts you should follow right now. 1. Skye McAlpine: @skyemcalpine Skye McAlpine splits her time between Venice and London, capturing dreamy, overhead tablescapes of sumptuous home cooking in both of her cities. Her first cookbook, A Table in Venice, is coming out this spring. 2.

Julia Sherman: @saladforpresident Julia Sherman lives, breathes and Instagrams salad.
