For years, cheese boards reigned over Instagram like so many decadent Roman emperors.
Wedges of shiny brie tumbled with almonds and pears in compositions that grew ever more ornate and voluminous — yet always perfectly unstudied — until they resembled Dutch paintings so pumped-up they would be banned from the Still Life Olympics.
French fries? Oh yes, definitely. L.A.-based food blogger Sarah Gim has popularized artistic arrangements of the fast-food staple on her Instagram account, @thedelicious. “It’s just a cool way to eat, and I love to see the way people have gotten so creative with it,” says Shelly Westerhausen, a food stylist and author of “Platters and Boards: Beautiful, Casual Spreads for Every Occasion.”“There is no right or wrong food to go on a board,” says Carla Smith, a graphics production manager at a marketing agency in Austin, who started documenting the boards she serves friends on the Instagram feed @pretty_and_plated.
Perhaps most importantly, the colorful and textured tableaus look good on Instagram, where food fills the frame in close-cropped photos or spills lushly across the screen. Creating them is an artistic outlet for Smith, who uses the graphic design principles she employs in her day job to create something more shareable — and satisfying, because, duh, you can eat it. “I start with a clean slate and build from there” she says.
