The 75 Best Blogs in the US in 2025

Food bloggers are creative, passionate individuals who work hard in the kitchen and are generous enough to share their work with us online. Without these blogs, some of us would be doomed. Takeout and Top Ramen containers would fill our kitchens without warming our hearts the way only a home-cooked meal can.

Today, there are nearly 600 million food blogs online. While 75% of food bloggers claim to have created their blogs merely for personal satisfaction, they’ve also delivered a very valuable service to anybody who likes to eat. (So, everybody?) These bloggers share their favorite recipes with us because they love sharing food. They’ve inspired us at Toast to put together this list of our top 75 food blogs in 2025.

In this article, we’ll explore 75 different food blogs made up of different cuisines. Hungry yet? Let’s get started.

65. How to Feed a Loon

Kris Longwell and Wesley Loon have been married for 30 years. So, if you’re wondering where How to Feed a Loon comes from, it’s from Kris’s love and devotion to feeding Wesley for all these years. We think that’s pretty dang sweet. 

We also think the massive website of baked goods, sandwiches, weeknight dinners, pastas, and so much more looks pretty dang sweet, too. There’s no shortage of great recipes on How to Feed a Loon, but one of our favorite sections is the “Copy Cat” area, where they offer their best recipe take on famous items like the McDonald’s Big Mac or Taco Bell’s Cheesy Gordita Crunch.

66. The Foodie Affair

73. Hapa Nom Nom

Founder Kathleen writes, “On Hapa Nom Nom, food is a kind of connective tissue, bringing my background, family, travels, and tastes together in one delicious bite.” Given that her heritage includes Swedish, Scottish, English, and Japanese backgrounds, it’s not surprising that Hapa Nom Nom is an eclectic, exciting collection of cuisines, cooking methods, and presentation. The site is full of great recipes, but it also includes videos to help you along and a pantry section detailing traditional ingredients and how you can use them in your cooking.

It provides resources for operating and monetizing a food blog, how to master methods and techniques, and even some interviews with the world’s most popular food bloggers. It’s a nice place if you want more than just a recipe.

75. Sprouted Kitchen

Sara and Hugh Forte are the authors of two cookbooks, and it shows in the elegance of Sprouted Kitchen’s website. Each recipe tells a story, but it’s not so SEO-spamming as to require a “jump to recipe” button or violent scrolling until you get to the ingredients. The whole site feels like an upscale menu experience, with tasteful, vibrant descriptions and gorgeous photography that really immerses you in their food. 

Plus, they have a “Tools” section on the site in case you’re interested in food photography or looking for inspiration to gear up your kitchen.
