The food blog as we know it today has come a long way: what began with sharing recipes on food discussion forums has now evolved into a career in and of itself. Nowadays, social media has allowed food bloggers to make a good living and establish a career for themselves. In fact, food-related media as a whole has enjoyed soaring popularity in recent years.
Food blogs are an excellent way to learn about cuisines and culinary traditions from all around the world, from the comfort of your own home. Keeping up with trends such as the Budvar beer cocktails has never been easier. Expensive cookbooks used to be the best way to get your hands on good recipes, and now, there are countless amounts available at your disposal online. Whether attracting your attention via websites, social media, or even via a well-selected brand ambassador, it’s no struggle to find a food blogger that appeals to your taste. However, to make things easier, we’ve compiled a list of some of the best UK food bloggers.
Deliciously Ella
Ella Mills has taken the world by storm. Her blog known as Deliciously Ella, celebrates plant-based and natural foods and offers plenty of recipes. Mills has not only made a successful blog for herself, but also a mini empire with cookbooks, delis and a range of food items. This is a food blog that makes healthy eating look very, very tempting. With excellent food photography and personal write-ups, this is a favourite for many.
Greedy Gourmet
Michelle Minnaar, originally from South Africa, spends her time creating unique recipes and beautiful food photos. She writes a lot about her travels, which of course include some delicious local delights. Michelle seems to tackle things that most of us are too afraid to do, like smoking a whole turkey or cleaning a lobster tail.
My Fussy Eater
This is a blog for the mums and dads out there. Ciara Atwell, a mother of two, started this food blog as a way of introducing her fussy-eating daughter to a more fun and interesting world of food. Including tips, tricks, videos, meal plans and recipes, the blog provides an insight into what a kid-friendly diet looks like.
The Pink Whisk
Ruth Clemens, known for her participation in The Great British Bake Off, has filled her blog with plenty of delightful recipes for those with a bit of a sweet tooth. One of the many advantages to this blog is her attention to some of the trickier parts of baking – like making pastry or lemon curd for example – in the detailed How-To section.
Elizabeth’s Kitchen Diary
The charm of this blog lies in Elizabeth’s great ability for merging new and inventive recipes such as Brazilian-style lamb Kibe, with old classics like shepherds’ pie. Elizabeth’s Kitchen Diary does a great job at covering many cuisines and suiting various tastes.
