Here is a list of some of my favorite Spanish and Latin food blogs. I am very inspired by these bloggers and can relate to their passion for food and their food-related stories. The authors of these blogs are people who I wouldnāt mind having a cup of coffee with (or a glass of wine, margarita, mojito, capirinha, pisco sour, etc), while we talk about food. Most of these blogs are written in English or bilingual. I also have aĀ list of favorite food blogs that are mainly in SpanishĀ (and few in Portuguese) on the Spanish section of my site. I highly recommend checking all of them out, even for those where you might not understand the language, you will still be able to appreciate the photos (and some have online translation tools).
