Here's a highlight of some of the best food blogs in our very biased opinion.
Best Vegan Foods
There's a huge number of reasons to go vegan - from environmental sustainability, to animal cruelty, community, better health and delicious flavors. The switch from an omnivore diet to purely plant-based often comes with re-learning how to cook and season meals, figuring out which flavors naturally enhance and compliment certain foods. Get meal ideas that will blow your mind from these top food bloggers.

Best Family Recipes
Cooking for your family is a constant challenge, with constantly evolving tastes and a delicate balance between quality and quantity. Sometimes you need simple, healthy recipes so that you can move on with the 1,000 other things on your to-do list, and other times you have time to spend crafting a comforting home-made meal. Family meals require recipes for all occasions.

Amy has simple recipes for your day-to-day cooking, along with fancier dishes for special events like birthdays and entertaining.
Best Indian Food
Indian food extends far beyond the curry takeout that we're used to getting from restaurants and mall shops. It's full of spices that are delicately balanced to complement and contrast each other, often without using sugar or sugary sauces.

Piping Pot Curry on the Feast Plugin
Meeta grew up in India, bringing authentic Indian cooking experience to her blog.
Best Homemade Foods
We all like to go out to restaurants to eat something we don't have to prepare at home once in a while. But homemade meals are always the best, when you can adjust recipes to make it taste exactly like you want it. Made with love is unequivocally true when you're cooking with your family's tastes and ideals in mind.

Best Food Blog Designs
As a designer of the #1 selling food blog theme Foodie Pro, we've iterated on the best design for food blogs since 2011.
As of 2022, we recommend all food bloggers use the Feast Plugin, which includes all 5 themes!
Customers love the simple, minimalist designs, which put your recipes front-and-center.
Carefully laid out customizable widget sections means that your images pop, and text flows easily for your readers, enticing them print out the recipes, comment, share and come back time and again. All our themes are responsive, and continually updated to keep pace with best practices.
Demand for alternative designs led to the creation of Brunch Pro and Cook'd Pro, and our two newest themes released in 2018: Cravings Pro and Seasoned Pro.
