Hey dietitians! I get it, you and I know that appealing food photography isn't the be all and end all, but you still want to make your Instagram feed more attractive and relevant. Here, we will give you some tips on how to make a great food-based Instagram feed that will wow your followers and attract more fans in no time!

Have a Consistent Theme

First, it’s important to have a clear and consistent theme for your food Instagram. This will help your followers easily decipher what kind of content they can expect from you. If you help young, working professionals get dinner on the table in 10 min or less, be sure to include lots of recipe ideas and messaging that appeals to this demographic. Don't forget to regularly check in with your audience asking them for ideas or collecting data on polls to support your content creation!

The Look of your Recipes Matter

Second, focus on creating satisfying aesthetic content that will draw more eyes to your page. This means it's about time you invest some energy into elevating your food styling & photography skills! Post pictures with balanced compositions, bright colors, and interesting angles. Also, if you’re still learning and experimentation is your thing, then go ahead and try different things!

Ensure Quality and Variety in your Feed

You can do this by experimenting with different kinds of photography such as light and dark tones, close ups and mid-range shots. Also, feel free to go beyond the traditional foodie images and try out other food-related content, such as food reviews, recipes, or kitchen hacks. Doing this, however, you want to make sure that the themes in your feed stay consistent and, of course, scrumptious.

Engage with your Followers

Post a selfie or photo of you! Introduce yourself every season to new followers. Also try responding to your audiences’ comments, host conversations, and even post polls. This can help you create relationships and build a community of foodies who will interact with you and your posts, making your Instagram feed more attractive and relevant.

Finally, don’t forget to have fun! Creating a food Instagram that’s interesting, eye-catching, and exciting is a creative process, so allow yourself to be creative, explore recipes and styles, and break the rules. Keep trying new things, and soon enough you’ll have the food Instagram feed of your dreams!
