It’s hard not to be hungry and
stylish after looking at this
account. Run by Hadiza Lawal,
@wovenblends seems to
hit the right notes with both
western and African cuisine.

If you’re one for the Afro-
cosmopolitan diet, then look
no further than Ghanaian-
Batswana food enthusiast,
Freda Muyambo’s account.
And as her style suggests, her
receptacles see a fine melange
African cuisine and urban flair.
Forget fashion influencers, foodies take the crown for
pulling in all the likes and followers on the gram. And
as epicentre of the food scene, it comes as no surprise
that Africa is home to some of Instagram community’s
key foodie influencers with cuisines so diverse.
If like us, you live in the famous city of Lagos, an
ever-buzzing metropolis with a plethora of absorbing
activities, it’s not strange to find one or two folks
conducting a full-on photoshoot of mouth-watering
dishes. Yes, you may even have seen one of these Lagos
foodies standing atop a chair, just to get the right
angle for a drool-worthy overhead shot, which just
tells you one thing, food business is serious business.

Of course, it would be, being that these instagram
accounts boast something over 2,000 followers (at the
least) who on a daily basis, count on them to conjure
up new recipes and brighten up the day with pictures
of extremely tempting platters. Sarah El Refaie
So, whether you just love to stare at photographs of
delicious meals or you like to look at the aesthetically
pleasing placements of cutleries and other food props,
there is no medium better than instagram. However,
figuring out the best accounts to follow can be pretty
daunting which is why you should consider these picks,
a far more under-the radar recommendation from
around Africa. This account will not only
feed your eyes with good
food, it’ll catch your eyes and
tummies with great comfort
food. Sarah El Refaie’s
account features pasta
dishes, desserts aplenty and
more.
