Food brings people together. It’s a universally beloved topic. Ask anyone what their most used room in their house is and they’ll likely answer: the kitchen. The kitchen is more than just a room where food is prepared; it’s a place where people gather to socialize and connect with one another. Food has that effect on people – arguably more so than anything else in our lives.

As a culture we’re obsessed with food content. We watch cooking shows religiously and can’t visit a restaurant without ‘gramming our meals. Tapping into this ever-present fascination with culinary creations, there is a proliferation of food blogs and dedicated food social media accounts. There’s something intimate about being invited into someone’s kitchen and witnessing them prepare a meal for themselves and their family – this type of content creates an instant connection between creator and audience. The ability to instill connection and affect emotion translates from the kitchen onto social media and blogs. Food blogs are among the most popular of all niches in digital media. Food blogs and social media accounts are highly visual, and social media users respond strongly to beautiful and, often, mouth watering images. We’ve rounded up a few of our favorite food content creators whose content embodies culinary creativity.
