We’re back again for another edition of Jack’s Food Blog’s top 50 bloggers list, and this year it’s even bigger than before!
After the success of last year’s top 50 food bloggers list, we’ve decided to return this year for a second instalment. We’ve scoured the internet for chefs and home cooks who have pulled out all of the stops this year, delivering again and again in terms of incredible flavours, simple to follow recipes and outstanding creativity. Quite obviously, this is an opinion piece. I welcome feedback on the list ordering, but also ask that you respect my completely unprofessional opinion.
As in last year’s edition, we’ve added an image from, and link to, each blog featured. As well as that, there’s a short description alongside each food blog, taken directly from the site. Because who can better describe their passion than the foodies themselves?
