5. Debasree Banerjee (@bong.eats): The Culinary Curator

Debasree Banerjee, @bengaleats to her online followers, is a food styler cum photographer whose plates are breathtaking and outstanding. Her pictures are purely expression of color, texture, and creativity, that change noodles and takes to the very art work via their stunning visual. Banerjee doesn’t just display or sale food, she invites the audience to share it with her. Her hashtags may take it further to describe the culture attached to the dish, the story behind a certain dish, or even offer easy to follow tips on how to replicate the taste and presentations at home. Not only does Bannerjee serve as a good brand for the restaurants, food bloggers, and culinary schools, but it also sensibly proves to be an additional marketing tool as well. However, the exact numbers are undisclosed. Nonetheless, bloggers like Banerjee with a good following and engagement can potentially rake in sponsorship amounting to ₹15000 to ₹30000 per post and cooking recipe co-creations. Their photography skills also bring along workshops to interested hobbyists.
