There’s no denying that in the depths of winter it can be really tough to get inspired about cooking. So to help you escape the endless rut of mashed potato, stews and casseroles we’re rounded up some of our favourite foodie Instagram accounts that are bursting with colour and inspiration.

1. @wholeheartedeats

Sophie MacKenzie describes herself as a ‘West Coast hippie and avid sprouter’ and we just LOVE her take on plant-based comfort food. Also follow along for the occasional dreamy shot of her hometown of Vancouver.

  5) @leefromamerica

They say you should eat a rainbow everyday but living vicariously through @leefromamerica is a good place to start. For super cool breakfast inspiration and pictures that make you want to look closer, Lee should definitely be in your foodie Instagram feed.

 

Guys, the collard wrap is like tortilla’s older, hotter, smarter cousin who got straight A’s in high school but also knew how to talk to guys. Okay, i’m done personifying vegetables now. But seriously, if collard wraps were a person, they’d always look good and also read the New York Times at a coffee shop. Go buy some collard greens and stuff them with tofu, all the hummus you can fit, tomatoes and cabbage. Roll them up and thank me later.

  8) @marte_marie_forsberg

Get lost in Marte’s feed of countryside living and elevated home cooking. We’re also especially fond of this account as Marte’s lives just a few miles from us in Dorset!

 

We finished off the last pears from the little tree in the garden today. Carrying in the last few and making an impromptu pear breakfast frying them diced with butter, sugar and cinnamon, before pouring the warm sweet content over porridge. It made me think of France, and my last workshop there with @thecooksatelier and their pear and almost tarts. The next two workshops begin on Monday next week, and I’m picking up mum this afternoon. Some of the very best parts of running these intimate cooking and photography workshop with her, is the planning part, where we cook side by side, scribble down ideas for what to serve for lunch, should we perhaps have two desserts and what if we had mulled wine warming on the stove after our afternoon wander…? It may be a tad too early, but we’ve decided we need a Christmas tree, so this afternoon, we’ll pile into the car my mother, Mr Whiskey and I, and pick up the perfect one for the dining room, just in time for our guests arrival on Monday morning… #mmforsbergworkshop A photo posted by marte_marie_forsberg (@marte_marie_forsberg) on Nov 26, 2016 at 2:02am PST
