If there was ever a sign that we need to step up our home cooking game, this is it. Ramsey Charanek (@cheframsdale) is a chef at Blink, but many of his posts feature beautiful dishes he makes at home.

For perfectly plated dishes that are practically a work of art, turn to the feed of Sean MacDonald (@seanymacd), co-executive chef at MARKET. His only equal is his fellow co-executive chef Alex Edmonson (@alexedmonson), whose own account is also worth checking out.

Garrett Martin (@garrettbmartin), chef de cuisine at Pigeonhole, posts a range of different food and restaurant experiences on his feed, but tasty dishes served on antique plates are by far the most common subject.

Satisfy your sweet tooth electronically by perusing the feed of MARKET pastry assistant Madison Toy (@jmtoy), who features jewel-like bonbons, chocolates and perfectly plated cakes and tarts almost exclusively.

[Correction: An earlier version of this story had Madison Toy’s job title as pastry chef. It has been corrected to say pastry assistant.]
