Instagram is the place to post photos of your food, especially your dinner.

With the 65+ Dinner Captions for your Instagram listed below you're going to be all set for quotes to go with your gorgeous photos!

If you didn’t know, some of the hottest photos on Instagram are not of models, travel, or beautiful landscapes (although there are plenty of these), they’re of food. Additionally some of the most followed, most admired bloggers on the platform are food bloggers.

If you’re an aspiring food blogger, start by posting photos of dinners or dishes you’ve made and caption them with a recipe. But before posting the recipe, it’s nice to connect with your audience by posting a question (for automatic engagement encouragement), a quote, or a simple title of what you call the recipe and/or where you got it.

TIPS TO LEVEL UP YOUR INSTAGRAM PHOTOGRAPHY

• Canva - I love Canva and use it to resize photos, make pinterest pins, and edit my photos. It’s definitely worth the investment.
• IPhone or Android MACRO LENS - Game changer! If you’ve ever wondered how bloggers get those big, 1:1 ratio photos of their food, this is the secret.
• Bessie Bakes Surfaces - I’d recommend getting two, and if you’re not a skilled photographer, I’d go with a neutral color (not white) because this makes editing a little bit easier if you’re a beginner.
• South facing window - Heads up, it might be in your bathroom or something. I’m lucky that mine is toward the front of my house right off the kitchen. I like to stand parallel to the window with my food in between and take the photo at a 45 degree angle. This gives the food a nice, sparkle.

JUST A FEW NOTES ABOUT USING RECIPES THAT AREN’T AN ORIGINAL CREATION

Before we get to the 65+ dinner captions for your Instagram, let me just make you aware of some etiquette when it comes to food, posting recipes, and food blogging. If you’re posting a recipe that you found online, it’s very considerate to name the recipe, the author/or blog, and even tag that blog or website!!

If you’re posting something original, then it’s all yours and no tag is needed!

Let’s get to some captions, shall we?
