the best food blogs

it was hard to narrow this down. and really there are many many other sites I visit regularly and really appreciate, but i wanted this to be more of a resource. it was not enough that I simply like the site. anyways it is still to be updated..

 

the best in general:

a meandering mango (simple but well done.)

delicous days (well photographed, good sense of culinary traditions. all in all a well done blog from munich)

no recipes.com (beautiful blog. an emphasis on technique. cutting across/working within many different cuisines, a difficult task, perfectly executed.)

playing with fire and water (mind bogglingly creative. always full of surprises beautifully photographed.)

smitten kitchen (the premier home food blog. few do it this good.)

studiokitchen (food blog to food project to restaurant, it's awe inspiring, as is the food, as is the photography. highly technical/molecular technique but all that equipment works for the food not the other way around.)

wrightfood.com (well done blog from seattle, seafood and chracuterie)

victory or death (a little geeky title but this blog on food and travel is well photographed and well written.)

zen can cook (beautifully photographed, well explained technique, cuisine : modern american(??), always inspires.)

 

food, life, family (not really my style of food blog but some are exceptionally well done):

beloved green

cannelle et vanille (many gluten free recipes)

sips and spoonfulls

 

food blog communities, food communities:

egullet.org (forums covering every possible aspect of food. have a question how to cook something sous vide. not a bad place to start.)

foodblogs.com (organised by an updating list of new posts)

foodbuzz (my favourite. community which attempts to filter blogs by the amount of "buzz" they create)

foodista

the kitchn

 

photo-food blog sites:

food gawker

kitchen artistry

taste spotting

 

restaurant reviews (i tend not to like these. i have a problem with the michelin guide. similar to the problem i have with the wine spectator. i urge everyone to watch the documentary mondovino. i know i'm rambling):

opinionated about dining (i like the methodology. not one expert but many.. for the same reason i like the books culinary artistry and the flavour bible. but thats for another day.)

 

from another perspective:

food woolf (restaurant insights from the service side)

will write for food (the meta perspective, food writing)
