Food Blogging
Published October 06, 2004
As much as we discuss, criticize, and laud on subjects ranging from divisive politics, beautiful music, and enchanting movies, one thing is true for all of us, even master critics such as you're wonderful blogcritics: we've gotta eat. A recent subculture of blog I ran into on the net is that of foodblogs. Some of the most amazing, entertaining, and outright odd writing I've read on food as not been from the NYT or Atlantic or various other expensive publications with well-funded food critics, but from you and me. From recipes to location-specific blogging, amateur food critics are taking over the net and getting damn popular. I've seen passions in blogs get excited over various things, but in the world of foodblogs it never wanes. Entries in A Spoonful of Sugar, Too Many Chefs, and Chronicles of a Curious Cook will thrown in both a creative recipe and interesting anecdotes. Some foodblogs are worth visiting not only for the content, but the pure beauty of their sites, such as Saute Wednesday, Chocolate and Zucchini, and Culinary Delights. The world of food blogs, as you can see, ranges widely and in diverse manners, dependent on the culinary and blog interests of their writers. Even famous chefs such as Jamie Oliver and Alton Brown have jumped on the bandwagon. An excellent list from which to explore your particular taste in food and foodblogging can be found here. Bon appetite!

cool Jordan, great info, thanks!
Found the best recipe for homemade peach ice cream on http://www.amateurgourmet.com/ that came from Alton Brown (made it all summer!). Didn't know Alton had a blog. Thanks for the great resources.
Great site - you can get Sainsburys Jaffa Cakes .........mmmmmmmm
I'm on a diet, trying to get my weight down from vast (86 kilos) to tolerable (70 kilos) and am about halfway there after over a year on a diet I invented called the Tapas Diet.
My progress, or lack of it, plus some recipes and various food related stuff can be found at my blog, All I Ate Today, at http://alliate.blogspot.com/
