The best Instagram accounts for cooking, healthy recipes and restaurants

So that our list of accounts is not endless and you can handle it well, we have ordered our favorite profiles into three categories: traditional cuisine, the healthy world, and restaurant-loving foodies. You have to choose.

Let’s cook!: traditional food beads

These creators are still betting on dishes from the kitchen of our mothers and grandmothers. Thanks to them we will be able to learn to prepare a good paella, biscuits, meatballs, croquettes, stews and a very long etcetera.

Chef Rafa ( @rafuel55 )

The first account we want to talk about is, in turn, one of the most popular in the food sector at the moment. This is the profile of Chef Rafa , a man who decided to learn to take pictures and make videos on Instagram. And, the truth is that the movement went quite well, since it currently has almost 725 thousand followers on this social network. Among all the recipes that he publishes on his Instagram wall we can find potato omelette with onion, beef stew, cheese toast with sobrassada and much more. In our opinion, the feeling, grace and energy that Rafael transmits are the keys to his success, as well as some spectacular recipes.

Susana Pérez ( @webosfritos )

Another of the quite popular accounts in this sector is that of Susana Pérez , also known among her 256 thousand followers as Webos Fritos. Susana started her project in 2007 with the aim of trying to bring those grandmother’s recipes, as we mentioned, to a mass audience so that they would not be lost. So, in partnership with her husband Jesús (a lover of photography) they started this beautiful project of traditional recipes on Instagram. Among all its recipes we can find many of Manchego origin, pastries such as the typical roscón de reyes, baked chicken, tortillas and much more. A profile that is a true delight.

Croquetagram ( @croquetagram )

If you have tried a croquette, that has been your downfall, because you will not want to stop eating them. And is that, is there anything more classic than this recipe of Spanish gastronomy? Well, the Croquetagram profile does not want this delight to be lost in oblivion. Croquettes of all kinds: ham, cod, classic, etc. And all with a direct link to their creators so that we can see their own elaboration. This account has managed to gather more than 89,000 croquette lovers throughout Instagram and although it has been inactive for several months (the last publication was in May, we don’t know if it will return), it is still very worth seeing their publications.

Yummy Recipes ( @derechupete )

We continue with the Yummy Recipes account . A blog, run by Alfonso López, about the most typical cuisine in Spain, with dishes ranging from rice pudding, a good Galician cachopo, donuts or, of course, some good potato omelettes. In addition, thanks to their videos we will be able to see each step of the elaboration. The Rechupete Recipes profile already has more than 83 thousand followers within this social network.

Miriam Garcia ( @miriamelinvitado )

On the other hand, and get ready if you are a confectionery lover, there is Miriam García ‘s account, which has already made more than 52,000 users fall in love on Instagram with its publications. She is from Madrid who enjoys preparing many classic recipes for both dishes and sweets in the original style. Accompanied by incredible humor, Miriam shares with us how she makes recipes such as apple pie, Santiago pie, soups, chickpeas and many other things. In addition, he also teaches face-to-face classes in Madrid for those who are interested.

Héctor Paellas and rice dishes ( @elchefkent )

If you are from Valencia, or simply an inveterate lover of paellas, you should now follow Héctor Paellas y arroces , as almost 142,000 users already do on this social network. As its name suggests, Héctor’s account is a well for the imagination of all kinds of paellas, rice dishes, fideuàs and some other little things. In his profile we can learn how to make the typical Valencian paella, Fideuà with octopus and Norway lobster, Arròs negre, Lobster rice and an endless number of different ways to prepare this type of dish. How could it be otherwise, the account of a good Valencian.

YOUR MOUTH WATER ( @tubocaagua )

And, speaking of rice or fideuàs, another of the traditional food accounts that also declare themselves passionate about this dish is TU BOCA AGUA , which, of course, is also from Valencia (or, at least, a part of them). Browsing through the publications that we can find in his account, we can see fideuà with fine herbs and senderuelas, rice with quail, the typical steak with potatoes (although the meat is very well chosen) or a scrambled egg with chorizo and wild asparagus, among many other things. The profile of Tu Boca Agua (which lives up to its own name), has already conquered the hearts of more than 48,000 people within this social network.

Healthy movement: healthy food

For a few years now, the world of healthy food or fitness food , as many like to call it now, has become very fashionable. And it is that thanks to their recipes, many users have been encouraged to change or modify certain habits, leading to a much healthier diet. This does not have to mean boring or tasteless dishes: the beauty of these accounts is that they also teach you how to make traditional recipes in a healthier version , so that you can even eat sweets, pizzas or hamburgers made with ingredients that you would not even have imagined. (and enjoying it, of course).

Give them a chance.

Also, her photos are quite attention-grabbing with that white scheme with the contrast of the food.

Foodies around the world: restaurant accounts to eat

Lovers of good food also have their place on Instagram. Obviously, we can also find recipes in their accounts, but basically what is attractive about their profiles is that they visit numerous places to tell us what they thought of the food, the service, or the place.

If you want to discover interesting places and dishes to eat in your city or on an upcoming trip, these are the best foodie Instagram accounts to find out where to eat . Take note.
