2. Green Kitchen Stories
Regular readers of the Cook Vegetarian magazine will have already heard of Stockholm-based Green Kitchen Stories. Put together by partners David and Luise, the couple got more interested in healthy food after the birth of their daughter Elsa. The photography is inspiring and mouth-watering. www.greenkitchenstories.com

4. Naturally Ella

She bases her food around seasonal dishes that don't use too many weird and wonderful ingredients making this blog super accessible. naturallyella.com

6. Sprouted Kitchen
Sara Forte thinks eating seasonally will change your take on everyday cooking, and she might just be right. Her talented partner takes the arty photographs while Sara invents deliciously healthy recipes such as Buckwheat Bowl with Roasted Romanesco, Lemongrass and Coconut Summer Rolls and Summer Squash Pasta with Green Goddess Dressing. And, as she and Hugh have just had their first child, there are great baby food recipes too. www.sproutedkitchen.com
7. 101 Cookbooks
Do you have a kitchen shelf that's crammed with cookery books that you rarely use? If, like us, you're guilty as charged, you'll love 101 Cookbooks. It began when its author Heidi Swanson made the decision to cook from the books she already had instead of treating herself to new ones and since then, has evolved into Heidi writing her own recipes based on her life and interests. It's very popular, but for good reason. www.101cookbooks.com
8. Tinned Tomatoes
A UK offering here from Scottish-based veggie and vegan food writer Jacqueline Meldrum. This blog is incredibly accessible with its everyday recipes that are super easy to make. www.tinnedtomatoes.com
9. Oh She Glows
This is a real favourite of the team here – the recipes are light, delicious and based on the beauty of vegetables, making it a delight to read. The photography is stunning and the recipes are wonderfully inspiring. Be warned, this blog will make you very, very hungry. ohsheglows.com
10. Deliciously Ella
Ella Woodward has been all over the national press recently and with a fabulous new cookbook out, which has everyone cooking healthy food, it's easy to see why. Ella battled undiagnosed health problems for years and when, by chance, her condition was finally diagnosed, she looked to food for assistance. Not only is her style of eating naturally luxurious, it's also being researched as a possible complementing treatment for her rare illness. deliciouslyella.com
