13 Female Chefs You Should Be Following on Instagram

It’s no substitute for a snack, but scrolling through your Instagram feed and discovering a beautiful entrée, farmers’ market veggie or sinful dessert is the next best thing. So treat yourself, and follow these chefs and restaurants that are setting social media feeds (and tables) on fire across Los Angeles.

Adorable kids? (Three cherubic offspring.) Delish restaurants? (Six, plus a string of ice creameries.) A flair for sweets? We’re in—Zoe Nathan’s Insta account is everything we could ever want and more.

The mastermind behind the dishes at a.o.c., Lucques and Tavern is so major, she made Spanish fried chicken with buttermilk biscuits for Jimmy Kimmel’s Oscar after-party.

Sqirl chef Jessica Koslow’s ’Gram is all about hyper-local produce and fermentation. That’s why hipsters line up for her signature dish of sweet potatoes, lentils, oil-cured olives and pickled onions.

Gordon’s First Street confections boutique has just been remodeled to include a café, and her beloved tea cakes, pictured here, are back on the menu. (You know, just in case you needed an excuse to stop by.)

Want to watch the city’s most anticipated fine dining spot open? Follow award-winning young chef Jessica Largey as she debuts Simone in the Arts District.

One half of the female-chef duo at Kismet, Hymanson is so down-to-earth, she made her staff a tuna noodle casserole to celebrate being nominated for a 2018 James Beard Award for Best New Restaurant. (Sarah, we’re coming over.)

At her restaurant Native, Cali-born chef and Top Chef alum Nyesha Arrington has a way with everything from Santa Monica farmers’ market produce to Santa Barbara prawns.

Her newest venture is Triple Beam Pizza, where Roman-style pizza comes in long, thin sheets, cut to customers’ specs. (Eat it room temperature, like Italians do.)

The feed from Jullapat at Friends and Family is yeasty good fun, from shots of the loaves she smuggled back from a Scandinavian jaunt to sourdough bread made in honor of Women’s History Month.

This decadent buttermilk pie and more mouth-watering desserts are waiting for you in the Insta feed for The Sycamore Kitchen.

White tablecloths in a low-lit dining room, a stiff martini and sirloin topped with an egg. At Jar restaurant, Suzanne Tracht elevates the steakhouse to Rat Pack heights.
