Basically out of the blue I started to like cooking.
Whole foods. Alice Waters style.
I’m sure there are many more but here are a few blogs I read daily + a little sampling of what they’re all about…

Becks & Posh
Sam Breach from Becks & Posh kindly let me use her post – “Words From My Grandmother” on this blog. Becks & Posh is a blog written for the love of food. No advertising allowed.
becks & posh in a nutshell…
‘Becks and Posh’ is modern cockney for ‘nosh’. Follow English-Girl-Abroad, Sam Breach, on her culinary travels, mainly in the San Francisco Bay Area, but also further afield, whilst she plays at being amateur restaurant critic, wine taster, food photographer, cocktail connoisseur, party planner, good food forager and practising home cook, with trusted French advisor, Fred, by her side.
Chocolate & Zucchini
Chocolate & Zucchini is a blog written by Clotilde Dusoulier, a 29-year-old Parisian woman who lives in Montmartre and shares her passion for all things food-related — thoughts, recipes, musings, cookbook acquisitions, quirky ingredients, nifty tools, restaurant experiences, ideas, and inspirations.
The blog was created in September of 2003 as an outlet for someone who feared her friends might tire of hearing about what she cooked/ate/baked/bought, though they didn’t seem to have a problem with being fed dinner. One thing led to another, a bit of media attention was received, articles were submitted to and published by newspapers and magazines, a book deal was signed, a dayjob was quit, and a new life as a full-time food writer began.
Orangette
My name is Molly Wizenberg, and I write this blog. I had crazy hair on the day that this photograph was taken.
I live in Seattle, but I grew up in Oklahoma City, went to college in the San Francisco Bay Area, and have spent a decent amount of time in Paris. I like peanut butter, meatballs, sausage, chaussons aux pommes, chocolate, ice cream, and nectarines, although preferably not all at once.
If you go to any of these blogs and check out their links you’ll find a plethora of other great food blogs…
