Instagram Picks: home cooks to follow if you’re running out of ideas for dinner
@minaholland
As the deputy editor of The Guardian’s 'Feast' magazine, Mina Holland shares a delectable range of dishes that she rustles up at home – from a mint, pistachio and chocolate fridge cake to a soup made from the “fridge’s most tired veg”. We often turn to her Instagram profile, especially when we’re stuck for dinner ideas.
@annabarnettcooks
Filled with drool-worthy bowls of pasta and equally enticing plates of colourful salads, the feed of London-based food writer Anna Barnett is a joy to scroll. Very often, she helpfully includes the recipe alongside the pictures, regularly focussing on dishes that are quick and simple. Anyone for a five-minute cacio e pepe? Yes please.
@mimithor
Based between France and Italy, food writer Mimi Thorisson shares image after beautiful image – everything from the tasty food she cooks at home to the ingredients she picks up from local markets and the restaurants she visits. Somehow, she does it all with nine children in tow.
@meerasodha
Vegan columnist for The Guardian’s 'Feast' magazine, Meera Sodha’s dishes are full of hearty goodness and colour. She describes her recipes as “97 per cent Indian”, and the remaining three per cent is the crucial twist – think roasted vegetables with tamarind, coriander and asparagus, or pea and fennel pilau.
@esthermclark
Brighton-based food editor and stylist Esther Clark is well-placed to guide us when it comes to food. As the deputy editor of BBC Good Food, there’s always something delicious on her feed, with a good mix of sweet and savoury dishes.
@felicityspector
A full-time news journalist for Channel 4, Felicity Spector posts about food in her spare time. She’s garnered quite the following, documenting everything from the food she’s eating in restaurants to what she’s cooking at home. She’s a lover of pudding, especially where custard is involved.
@noorishbynoor
Ottolenghi’s recipe developer, Noor Murad, teases us with snippets from the cook’s test kitchen, while also providing plenty of guidance for those cooking at home. In true Ottolenghi fashion, there’s plenty of preserved lemons, labneh and pomegranate seeds.
@tamara_vos
London-based food stylist Tamara Vos shares her latest kitchen creations: everything from blackcurrant and lemon roly-poly to an unctuous looking tomato galette. Her perfect rows of homemade gyoza dumplings will have you wanting to try and replicate them at home.
@pippyeats
For Manchester-based cook Pippa Middlehurst, it’s all about Chinese food and noodles. Long ones, short ones, thin ones, fat ones, Pippa shares her latest concoctions on her colourful feed. She’s about to start Noodlehaus, a supper club in Manchester.
