5 Free Food-Related WordPress Themes

Now you don’t have to use a food-themed design for your food blog- even the plainest of styles should be fine, particularly if you want your food photos to stand out. However, if you want to give your blog a foodie touch, and you’re running WordPress, check out these five themes. They’re all free!

*Update!: We’ve released our very own Food Blog theme. It’s sweet and cupcakey and free! Check out the Winnie WordPress Theme.

The FoodRecipe theme has been around for a while, but it’s still one of the nicest food-related blog themes out there. A wood-grain background gives it a homey warmth, it supports widgets and gravatars, and allows you to highlight your “featured” posts as well.

Cutting Board is a little bolder, and certainly more obvious, with an extra-tall header featuring a knife, salad and- of course- chopping board. Still, it’s a nicely made theme, with a bright red background that most food photos will look good against.

Maybe I was drawn to this theme because strawberries are my favorite fruit ever. Strawberry Blend is a sleek black, white and red theme with two columns. I like how clean this theme looks- and honestly, if strawberries aren’t necessarily your thing, the header photo can be replaced with a photo of your choice quite easily.

I really like In the Kitchen because it’s girly without being overly so, with a nice choice of light colors and rounded corners for softness.

Finally, the new (released just days ago!) and free iRestaurant theme has got to be my favorite. Perfect for a restaurant, but just fine for a regular food blog, it’s got everything from an options page to ad-ready banner spaces to areas for featured videos and featured content.
