Awesome Cuisine has come up with a compilation of Top 30 Indian Food bloggers of 2013 and and from the same list, they have also compiled a list of promising bloggers of 2014 who showcase and present the simplicity and taste of Indian Cuisine.
To calculate the Top 30, they have taken the following parameters into consideration along with the quality and frequency of posts
- Social media followers
- How many recipes
- How long they have been blogging
- Along with ranking data from Quantcast, Alexa, Google and few other sources.
- How many comments they receive on an average
- Own domain – this is primarily to ensure that they have taken an effort to build a good website and not just put up a free site.
- The focus was also on bloggers writing about Indian food recipes only (primarily).
The list is in no particular order
