There are a lot of food shots on Instagram: the good, the bad, the partly chewed, the flash-flared. It turns out that quite a few top Australian chefs are also dab-hands in the amateur photography department.
@danielpepperell – The chef’s crisply framed, nicely-lit food shots of his neo-tratt creations are consistently some of the finest we’ve seen on the ‘Gram.
@sweetbigbessie -The snaps of pâtissier extraordinaire Alistair Wise’s creations at Hobart favourite Sweet Envy more than do justice to the shop’s name.
@portenosydney – Porteño’s Instagram account proves that even lamb carcasses can look pretty. See also @bodegasydney
@chef_andrewmcconnell – From behind-the-scenes kitchen action at Cutler & Co., Cumulus Inc. and the Builders Arms to solid food snaps, Andrew McConnell’s insta is a winner.
@markbest – Mark Best’s raw, artful and sometimes mildly shocking (we’re looking at you, freshly peeled veal head) posts get the thumbs-up from us.
@benshewry – Chefs in the kitchen, chefs at award ceremonies, chefs with surfboards. Ben Shewry’s feed is a great behind-the-scenes glimpse into the world of chefs on a global scale.
@kitchenbymike – Kitchen by Mike’s Instagram account ought to come with a warning: DANGER: THESE PICTURES WILL MAKE YOU HUNGRY.
@christinemanfieldchef – Christine Manfield takes you to all kinds of exotic corners of the earth through her snaps. #nofilter.
@patrickfriesen – From fried chicken to horse-meat sandwiches, Patrick Friesen’s feed is packed with calories and laughs in equal measure.
@thetownmouse – The crew at Melbourne’s Town Mouse take a pretty mean food shot. We want their buttermilk-poached pear and we want it now.
