A domain of documented eating adventures galore, from cocktail making to cake baking, Instagram and edible inspiration go hand-in-hand. With a strong emphasis on the visual, it’s no surprise that Insty proves perfect fodder for cooking and its equally enjoyable cousin, entertaining. Whether you have a dinner party or a picnic on the cards, here are 6 Instagram accounts which offer plenty of aesthetic-inspiration for your next feast with friends.
1. @hoste.london
English TV host Laura Jackson is known for her passion for entertaining, with her side hustle just that – Hoste is a combined dinner club/podcast/newsletter/Instagram which explores how to be the perfect host. The accompanying Instagram is a scrapbook of eclectic tablescapes (like the vibrant offerings from Mosey Me, menu ideas and stylish kitchens.)

2. @charlotteree
Closer to home is baking queen Charlotte Ree, the self-proclaimed sweet tooth of cooking tome ‘Just Desserts’. Her passion for cakes (and beyond that, anything edible) is documented on her account, as is her ongoing interest in hosting lavish dinner parties for her group of friends. Grab an apron and prepare for a stylish cook-along like no other.

3. @undressed_byronbay
Zoe Cuthbertson is a Byron-based caterer who is as obsessed with food as she is with tablescapes. Layered natural linens, nestled with vases and candles of all shapes and sizes, form the centrepieces for her elegant long lunches and catered events. Follow her for ample inspiration on simple (but seriously effective) table dressing tips.

4. @pasta_mama_
Jenna Holmes initially found Insta-fame for her green thumb (@plantmama_), but it’s her passion for pasta which has made her beloved among foodies. Her Pasta Club may be Melbourne-based but the carbohydrate-focused celebration of food and festivities has proven so popular it’s already popped up around the country. Emulate her loud aesthetic at your next get together - think clashing prints, statement-making candlesticks and pasta (of course) galore.

5. @jessica_nguyen_
While cooking may be the forte of Jessica Nguyen – peep her dumpling recipe here – the foodie’s focus doesn’t end there for those after someone to hold their hand through the entertaining process. Her step-by-step posts and stories extend to how to plate your meal, how to style your table and the all-important cocktails to accompany, and even what to wear.

6. @somethingsiliketocook
