Blogs & Sites I Like

Tuesday, May 5, 2009

I thought it might be nice to give a little shout-out to some of the blogs and sites that I read regularly (in no particular order.) I encourage you all to check them out if you're not already a regular reader. Feel free to suggest your favorite blogs and sites via comments, too.

La Tartine Gourmande - a simply beautiful blog written by Bea, a French woman living in Boston. She takes exquisite photos and cooks and bakes the most delightful-looking things. She and her husband had a baby not too long ago and she's also working on a cookbook so she's posting a bit less right now but it's still totally worth adding to your RSS feed or google homepage.

101 Cookbooks - a very California blog written by a woman named Heidi who lives across the SF Bay in Marin. The blog is one healthy, vegetarian but tasty-sounding recipe after another and she also takes good pix. She posts fairly often.

Food Blogga - written by Susan who lives in San Diego -- I first discovered her through a piece she did on fish tacos that was on NPR's Kitchen Window. She posts and a good mix of recipes (and a lot of them!) with nice pix. Susan also does a lot of give-aways and contests if you're interested in that sort of thing.

GhostTown Farm - a blog written by urban farmer (and author) Novella Carpenter about her experiences raising vegetables, fruit, livestock, poultry and bees in her squat garden in the ghetto of Oakland, CA. Her two goats just had babies so now is a great time to check this blog out! She also has a book called Farm City coming out in June that I hope to post a review of soon (loved it!)

Eatwell Farm News - the blog for the farm whose CSA we belong to. It's written by Nigel, the head farmer (he must be British with a name like Nigel...) and I love getting all these details about what life and work on the farm are actually like, particularly since we end up eating the things he's posting about. He posts lots of pictures, too. I find it fascinating.

Sunset's One Block Diet (and others) - Sunset magazine has a series of blogs (about food, gardening, travel, etc.) which are all good. Their web site is also great and I subscribe to the magazine, too, as I love the mix of recipes, decorating, gardening and travel/outdoors articles. Their focus is definitely on the west of the country (both north and south.)

Bitten - one of the NYTimes blogs about food (written primarily by Mark Bittman with a few other regular posters.) Great recipes, down to earth and also socially-conscious.

Eating Liberally - written by my friend Kerry -- a great, very smart blog about the politics of food. Kerry is an avid gardener and writes for a number of other liberal blogs.

The Ethicurean - kind of similar to Eating Liberally but with lots of different bloggers involved. Bonnie Powell, the woman who started it, is well-known and very active here in the Bay area food circles - she founded the area's first meat CSA/meat buying club.

Epicurious.com - one of the most comprehensive recipe sites and easy to search. I visit it regularly when I want ideas, inspiration, etc.
