“Instagram has truly changed the way we perceive food in the world today. I remember scouring through hundreds of cookbooks just to create that perfect dish and now, all it takes to fashion a meal is to view one short video on Instagram or just follow a foodie’s stories. Whether you are looking to inspire others or find some inspiration for yourself – the Instagram community has created a virtual family for food lovers to connect, share and motivate,” said Kapur.
