Remember the days of posting pictures of your dogs, your freshly painted nails, or even the infamous duck-face-selfie on Instagram? Seems like ages ago when that was the typical news feed you'd see, liking as you scrolled on by. But now, users of Instagram use it for far more than that. The current content sells, informs, and educates you. But what stops you in your scroll? Food. Yummy, yummy food. Here, in no particular order, are the 10 Best Food Instagram Accounts that will certainly halt you in your social media tracks and make you immediately follow them.
1. Bon Apetit Magazine
Located in the One World Trade Center, in New York City, is Bon Apetit's Test Kitchen. It is filled with hungry chefs searching and testing new recipes to perfect for you. Not only is this Instagram great to follow for it's fresh original recipes shared daily, but for their chefs, that are full of personality.
One favorite is Carla Lalli Music, who has just come out with her new cookbook, Where Cooking Begins. She also has a great and entertaining segment on their YouTube channel where she teaches celebrities how to cook, with the twist of them being back to back the whole time.
Another favorite chef is Brad Leone. He has the heroic story of test kitchen's dishwasher turned test kitchen chef. He is full of personality, his niche is fermentation and he also has a series called It's Alive! where he shows the step-by-step creation of everything from kombucha to miso paste.
Bon Apetit Magazine's Instagram and recipes without a doubt are for a more advanced cook. Not someone who knows how to make a Beef Wellington like the back of their hand, but more established than those who make ramen every night.
2. Healthyish by Bon Apetit
The Healthyish Instagram is just what it sounds like, and they adhere to their tagline...
"Because healthy should still be delicious."
Some of the greatest things about this page is their story highlights that emphasize their Feel Good Food Plan. The #FGFP idea is to make 10 recipes in total for the first two weeks of January. Now, we are way past January, but it's never too late to start and they have each step ready to go for you so you can stay on track with your healthy game! Not only do they inspire healthy but delicious eating habits on this page, but they also push healthy living habits as well.

Laleh Mohmedi takes "don't play with your food" to a whole new level.
