The best foodies to follow on Instagram

Inspiration comes from everywhere and never more so than on the pages of Instagram.

Particularly for lovers of design, food and fashion, a quick browse through Instagram can yield a new cocktail idea, party dress or a complete overhaul of your living room - often when you least expect it.

Here are our favourite foodie feeds at the moment:

1. @d_elleicious

Better Homes and Gardens Food Editor Elle Vernon is an inspiration on screens big and small. Colourful and creative, moreish and masterful - there's nothing she can't turn a spatula to.

2. _michellecrawford

Food stylist, author, cook and recipe writer Michelle Crawford lives in an old farmhouse in Tasmania's beautiful Huon Valley. Here she poaches, pickles, bottles and bakes produce from her own garden, inspired by the breathtaking countryside that surrounds her.

It's vibrant leaves that make this aromatic pasta, and I can't wait to eat it with pasta maker extraordinaire Vanessa @thehungrychook in our Italian inspired workshop in March. Guests will not only make this lush pasta, but also creamy ricotta, prepare vegetables from the garden, roast fish and pudding in the wood oven outside, before sitting down to eat this Italian inspired feast on a beautifully styled outdoor table. I'll be keeping a close eye on those little green beauties over the next few weeks. Mangia Bene! . . 📷 @thehungrychook

3. @cookrepublic

You know that feeling when you look through a menu and think, "I'll have everything!"? We get it scrolling through Sydney Photographer Sneh Roy's Instagram feed. But mostly we get hungry....

Good morning! Happy weekend 💛💛 Breakfast is a delicious giant mish mash of avocado toast and fridge toppings that need to be used up! This is what happens when your kids plan a Mexican night two nights in a row and then watch movies instead of cooking 😂🥑🥑 #cookrepublic #avocadotoast #healthymeal #simplelifestyle #familyfood #deliciousness #postitfortheaesthetic #chasingharshlight #foodstyle

Sunshiny turmeric cauliflower soup for this grey day.

6. @italyonmymind

Australian-Italian writer, photographer and cook, Paola Baccia lives in Melbourne but her food heart lives in Northern Italy. Drawing on her ancestral home she brings to the Instagram table food as a lifestyle to be lived - from the perfect cocktail moment through perfect handmade pasta to delicately dusted crostoli... with the odd gentle meander through a vineyard in the Italian countryside.

Looking forward to getting some limes and making this cake again! Lime, olive oil and yoghurt cake from the archives / link in my profile. #oliveoilcake#limecake#bakefeed#feedfeed @thefeedfeed #huffposttaste#foodpics#bakingaddiction#homecook#bakingcakes#torta#italyonmymind#limeyoghurtcake

7. @notquitenigella

Sydney-based Lorraine Elliott has been blogging about food for over 10 years and her feed remains as fresh and enticing as the first spring stalk of asparagus. A passionate foodie, here is a great place to be inspired by everything good about the world of food – restaurants, travel and the most luscious photography. She practices what she preaches too – her own cooking is incredible and often plated up with just a little tongue-in-cheek.

Made a rather large birthday cake for the weekend and am so exhausted I now need a slice of it. I'm sure they won't notice a piece missing right? 😉 Chocolate drip cake 🎂 http://www.notquitenigella.com/2015/11/04/chocolate-drip-cake/

Such a tart! ❤️ Recipe for this silky custard tart to come soon ❤️
