1. Nibbles — Typeface

Nibbles is a typeface inspired by the theme of food and food trucks. The nifty thing about this download is that as well as finding symbols through their glyph placement, you can type out the name of the thing and get the icon. Type pizza and you’ll get a pizza! Perfect for use with recipe cards, posters or even editorial layouts.

2. Organic Juice Maker Scene Generator — Photoshop Template

This is a great image generator for Photoshop that will let you create stunning hero images for your website or blog, or even for print! Just drop you image into the template and you’re good to go. You could even use this as the header for recipe blogs as the download contains a variety of images and premade scenes.

3. Food Lightroom Presets

Even the best food images can need a little help to fulfil their potential. This download contains ten presets designed to make your food photos light, packed with colour, and good enough to eat!

4. FoodKit - Food Presets for Lightroom and Adobe Camera Raw
