In this article, I’m continuing my Ultimate List of Blog Ideas series, this time it’s blog ideas for food bloggers. Food bloggers, otherwise known as foodies blog about food. Some are focused on specific laser targeted niche like unique wineries or holistic foods, while others like to cover a wide spectrum.
Food bloggers are an interesting bunch because their site often reflects who they are, whether they are an open-minded and adventurous at discovering new or unique foods, or if they have a specific passion for one genre of food.
The idea list below is intended for food bloggers to keep topics rolling and be able to avoid the dreaded blogger’s block. It’s also an ideal list to consult for bloggers that are looking to either cover writing about food on their website, or actually becoming a food blogger.
I’ve split the lists into some general areas I’ve noticed based on the fact that the general niche of food bloggers has several minor ones.

Great list of ideas and very helpful for food niche bloggers.
I don’t have any project on this field but is very attractive I must confess.
Hi Nile,
Really great ideas for food blogging, can you share same for health blogging? I’m looking to create one but want to create my plan before starting my blog.
Great idea generating topics Nile!
Just reading your excellent topic titles literally had my mind spinning!
From a general topic you really were able to show just how much potential
fresh content that is actually available to practically any subject!
Plus, even though you didn’t mention it directly, or every one of the subjects
you mentioned, could very easily be broken into multi part blog post and or videos and podcast as well!
And you still would only be scratching the surface!
Even though my particular niche is not foods per se, I found your list of potential blogging ideas extremely helpful, just the same! I even see opportunities to use your template for my niche as well!
Thanks for sharing topic generating template!
I like the idea of showcasing an organic farm. I am attempting to me the tech guy behind my wife’s gardening blog. We’ve only been at this three months but it’s been hard to generate traffic. I feel like we hid a plateau and it’s hard to find more people that would be interested in our blog. We are not getting any hits from search engines so I must be doing a lot of SEO mistakes but you got me thinking with your food blogger post.
I do a lot of content generation consulting and enjoy doing it. 13 years of blogging…. I better know a few things… right? 😉
Blogs and recipe books have flogged national foods for an eternity – Italian, French, Chinese, Greek, Turkish and so forth. How about a blog that focuses on food choices of ethnic minority groups such as the H’mong people in Vietnam and the Kaw people in Laos.
Keep up the good work.

I have a question that if we take more then 50 backlinks in a day then it will give higher ranking in search engine or not ? And making 50 backlinks in a day is spam or not, because i read that google decrease the ranking if you spam so please help me
This has nothing to do with this post and probably should’ve been asked in a SEO related one. 50 backlinks in a day… depends where those backlinks come from and if they are going to remain as some of these deals out there with getting backlinks in massive waves are frowned on by Google because it is black hat…. and frankly… I don’t teach black hat SEO. 🙁
Great stuff for the food bloggers here, but I even found some interesting links just for my own diet and cooking.
Thanks for sharing!
waaaaawww……..c’est un excellent article .
merci pour le partage .
I have been thinking about starting a food blog based on reviews and details about a specific food item. (I won’t say which here though) so your list of ideas has really got my brain turning now. Thanks for the tips.
Thanks for this important article. I am about to launch my food blog which majorly will contain new dishes 🙂 And, your tips are gonna do a lot of help. 😀

Wow! What a wonderful post! I will truly keep this post for many years to come! So much wonderful advice from one of the bloggers I look up to most, and have learned so much from! This was SUCH a great read, and I LOVE that you also got opinions from other great bloggers!!
I feel that each person in the blogging world has their own contribution to what they can bring to the table…if that is the right phrase to use. I know I am able to provide my readers with an inside track to see what life is like for a elite runner. I try to share my stories, and what I do to be the best I can be. I feel like that is mostly what i should write about to stick with what is unique about me.
Hi i am new here on your blog!
I just want to say that your blog design is awesome.It look more powerful with your unique posts.
I am your big fan.

History of specific beer/wine products. That could get pretty interesting especially with the prohibition era.
Well, this could come in handy being as I have a recipe linky every Friday! Woo Hoo Have a great weekend, and thanks for sharing.
There are tons of great ideas here. There really is no shortage after reading this list.
Thank you for sharing this! I am actually planning to put up another site about food.. 🙂
I am so checking out the rest of your blog! I don’t post many food recipes (the occasional family friendly recipe), but I am always getting writers block! I want to start having more organic posts, but the thing is I have no clue what to write about.
Seasonal foods would be a great topic. It’s also nice to feature hole-in-a-wall type of restaurants that’s a sanctuary that most do not know of.
I am not a food blogger, but I could get on board with blogging about margaritas and wine! A great list of suggestions for additional content, thanks!
These are all great tips and ideas. I am not a food blogger by any means, but occasionally post recipes or restaurant reviews!
Roundups are something I haven’t dabbled in yet, but I definitely need to do that. I like them myself, so why not share them?!
I like the recipes and restaurant reviews.. they peek my interest every time!
Thanks for this list – I’ve made some notes of angles that I can use in my blog in the upcoming months! Perfect timing as I was just brainstorming for new ways to present things!
Great resources for food bloggers! I don’t really focus on food on mine, but I love visiting those that do!
These are great ideas! Thanks for sharing!
What an awesome list of ideas for food bloggers. I am going to take a look at the other posts with blog ideas. Thanks
Thank you for the wonderful suggestions. I offer recipe’s on every other Tuesday, to make meal planning easier for my readers. I will put this on bookmark, so this can be my guide. This is the reason why, I love connecting with other blogger’s; wealth of information.
What a great post. I am soooo printing this out and using it for reference when I get stuck for a post. Thanks so much.
Great blogging inspiration. I like the idea of helping people transitioning into consuming more healthy and holistic foods. That’s a great topic that many people are interested in.
You provided an extensive list for food bloggers. Great suggestions. I definitely can use a few of them even though food isn’t one of my main topics. 🙂
This is a great list for food bloggers. I love reading restaurant reviews. I have found so many great recipes on blogs.
