Sure, we’ve all rolled our eyes at food bloggers who take pics of every meal. But let’s be honest, we’re just jealous our snaps don’t look as good as theirs. Since none of us are immune to the spell of a so-beautiful-it-hurts food photo, we rounded up 12 Instagram accounts that have it down to a science. Here’s who to start following right this second.

@allie.eats
We’ll follow anyone who can make a messy breakfast sandwich look this good.

@abrowntable
Nik Sharma pens a weekly column for the SF Chronicle about modern cooking with a NorCal-meets-Eastern influence, so of course we’re following his Insta account
@pastrywithjenn
At-home baker Jenn Yee can invite us over for dessert any day. Her blood orange and grapefruit panna cotta tart looks so delicious that we wouldn't mind holding on to winter just a little longer.
@kimberleyhasselbrink
Photographer Kimberley Hasselbrink calls herself the vegetable evangelist. We’ve never been so eager to practice what she preaches. You can follow her recipe journal, The Year in Food.

Wherever Makenzi Brown is, we want to go to there.

The trio behind this Insta sensation has us craving some good ole pizza. Mmm.

Instagram star Christina Song has a simple formula for the images on her feed: vibrant colors, simple backgrounds and ooey, gooey decadent food. She makes the trifecta work for every shot.
@spottedsf
Leslie Santarina may be known for documenting her travels around the globe, but we’re glad she sticks close to home for Insta moments like these pasta dishes at Maybeck’s.
