Title: Favourite Food/Cooking sites or blogs?
Post by: onawhim on February 10, 2009, 10:14:12 AM

I am addicted to reading food/cooking blogs.  I think I have about 30 bookmarked that I visit often.  What are your favourites?

A few of mine are:

I don't follow any too regularly but saw this nominated for a bloggie award:

http://smittenkitchen.com

Then I found this on the web site and decided I was in love ... Guinness and Jameson and Baileys and chocolate ...

This is great!    Bonita, can we get this "stickied" to the top of the page?


My "go to" web site is   www.allrecipes.com    There's always a decent selection of results for any search term and the user reviews are generally helpful.

Other sites that I enjoy exploring are:

http://www.bestfoodpages.com/
http://www.101cookbooks.com/index.html
http://crockpot365.blogspot.com
http://www.toomanychefs.com
http://www.cookingforengineers.com/

Pintrest confuses the hell out of me... how do you find recipes?

Some of my current favorites are Budget Bytes (www.budgetbytes.com (http://www.budgetbytes.com)) and Mel's Kitchen Cafe (http://www.melskitchencafe.com (http://www.melskitchencafe.com)).

Budget Bytes is about eating healthfully without breaking the bank, and getting the most bang for your grocery buck.  I have made several dishes from this site, and only had one that I didn't really care for. 

Mel's Kitchen Cafe is just good home cooking.  It's not necessarily health food--there's lots of desserts and creamy pastas on her site, but most stuff is from scratch and it all looks really delicious.

It's kinda like YouTube.  I search for something, it will say "also pinned on!" and if their board looks good I'll go visit it.  It's easy to find people with similar tastes/genres.
