1. Ms Marmite Lover

2. Poires au Chocolat
Emma Gardner’s blog is an oasis of calm, and she writes in an engaging way, cleverly using silent video to demonstrate tricky techniques. Her thoughtful approach also includes the provision of a really handy pictorial ‘glossary of terms’ to explain everything from greasing a baking tin to rubbing in butter for pastry. Lovely recipes focusing on baking and desserts.

British-born Bengali food writer/cookbook author and self confessed food geek Rejina Sabur-Cross has lots of tasty recipes on her blog, some inspired by time spent living in Japan. She writes with a great deal of vim and vigour so as well as having mouthwatering recipes, her blog is a fun read.

6. English Mum
The English mum in question is a Becky, and she has a wealth of fabulous recipes on her food blog. We adore the preserves section and the Suppers section is great. But it’s her baking that we love the most.

Light-hearted and well-crafted writing from Peckham resident Helen Graves. Plenty of lovely photos and a good range of recipes (inventive sandwiches are a feature, and she’s written a book on these) as well as stories of what she’s enjoyed eating on her travels.
