We live in an age when we upload everything we do to social media, and our meals are no exception.
From Pumpkin Spice Lattes to juicy burgers and artsy sushi, food is definitely no stranger to our Instagram feeds.
But when it comes to uploading the ultimate #foodporn, not all meals are created equal.
So what separates the culinary creations that make you enviously hungry from the all-too-common mediocre meals out there?
Capturing the perfect picture of your plate is almost like a delicious art form. It requires the use of carefully calculated recipes that induce the maximum amount of mouthwatering along with an aesthetically pleasing presentation.
The perfect angle doesn't hurt, either.
As we make our way into the new year, the food porn competition is really heating up.
From dishes topped with melty mac and cheese and desserts decked out in Nutella to badass bacon-wrapped everything, this food porn is pretty much guaranteed to make you break all of your New Year's diet resolutions.
