Oh She Glows

Run by Canada-based author and blogger Angela Liddon, Oh She Glows has over 1m visits a month, all hankering after her vast range of home-cooked, healthy recipes, many of them gluten-free, too. The vegan food blog, launched in 2008 to chart Angela’s recovery from an eating disorder began with minimal cookery skills, no blogging experience and a desire to learn to create family-friendly meals that wouldn’t leave the avid meat-eaters in her family feeling left out. There’s a range of sweet and savoury dishes – with quick mid-week ideas, snacks and even drinks. A great resource for those starting out on their plant-based journey.
