Confession time
So… here’s the deal: We’re doing this food-blogging thing in a vacuum. Sure, we read a couple of food blogs written by friends — hi Sean, hi Matthew! — but frankly the world of food blogging used to seem a little redundant to our other culinary life online — we got all the stimulus we needed from sites like eGullet and MouthfulsFood.
Once we dropped off the food communities, the blog seemed like a great place to stash those scribblings that just can’t be left unwritten, the photos that must be shared. But even when the blog occasionally gets interactive via comments, it’s still not enough input to feed my media jones. And the NYT Food Section only comes out once a week.
I’m sure it comes as no surprise to anyone (my naive self included) that there are something close to, oh, a bajillion food blogs out there, and I have no idea where to start! So, I wanna hear about your must-read food, cooking, dining and drinking blogs. Which do you read first, before all the rest?
(And yeah, I know… I can’t believe a vegan blog won the Bloggie, either.)
Comment by Sean
Oh good god — you don’t want to know how long my blogroll is. But my short list:
2 Tasty Ladies
Becks & Posh
eggbeater (I even have the t-shirt!)
Gastrologica
Lucullian Experience
Vinography
And yes, Vegan Lunchbox too. That’s just for good reading. I rely on considerably more for recipes and inspiration, and lots more yet for just (over)consumption. And then there’s all the NON-food blogs.
If you like, I could send you my OPML file. 🙂
