I just love jen, jeremy, kaweah and the snowy colorado rockies!
Steamy Kitchen, unique recipes, gorgeous photos, helpful hints (see: how to open a pomegranate) from one of the most engaging bloggers I’ve stumbled across: http://steamykitchen.com/
i know this isn’t technically a blog in-and-of itself, more of a food-blog hub; however, w/ out foodgawker, i would have NEVER found some of the amazing blogs that i was addicted to in 2008.
I swear by http://www.flanboyanteats.com. Bren does great Latin and other fusion recipes and shares her world travels with us.. That girl gets around. Oh, and she offers some vids and style too!
I have to nominate Flanboyant Eats… It’s on the daily “must read” list.
Flanboyant Eats is the best website for the on the go sassy cook. Ms. Herrara gives easy to follow, quick meals with a Cuban twist. You even get to learn a few Spanish words. I love it! Hands down the best cooking blog website of the year!
Once again B has gone far beyond the food blogging era with her site. She does a wonderful job presenting and writing amazing stories. Go B!
I put the website in the wrong place.. Here is the link to Chef b’s awesome site. Always with bright new stories and recipes.
I would like to nominate Make Life Delicious for the Best Food Blog. It is a great site and I check it daily for quick and easy recipes!
Bren for flanboyanteats.
She is the awesome and she has cooked with the best ( Emeril! )
http://foodlibrarian.blogspot.com/
Because…
- she posts often
- pictures are good
- posts are short and straight to the point
- has sense of humor
I just love her blog 
I have 42 blogs I keep up with, and if I were forced to only read one, it would be Deb at Smitten Kitchen.
http://smittenkitchen.com/
Nourish Me: http://nourish-me.typepad.com/nourish_me/
http://lucullian.blogspot.com/
The best food blog by far. She is there almost 365 days a year and her random thoughts, healthy but delicious recipes and beautiful photography are very entertaining.
My daily food p0rn fix generally comes from http://www.notquitenigella.com
http://prudencepennywise.blogspot.com/
Great, simple recipes, easily followed, with clear budgets laid out for each menu. This blog is quite timely, an invaluable resource to keep entertaining, eating well, and enjoying food through the current economic recession.
This could have been a nominee for Blog of the Year on its own merits — made even more relevant by current events, it was the first that came to my mind for nomination.
Flanboyanteats is definitely the food blog of the year. Brenda is amazing and makes cooking interesting for amateur cooks like myself.
Tartelette
Oh, Ree at pioneerwomancooks.com, without a doubt. Just wow.
You simply can’t go out and eat in Sydney without checking Helen’s blog first. I nominate
Sydney food-blog
I nominate Grab Your Fork. Brilliant, humourous, informative, well written and researched.
http://www.notquitenigella.com is daily reading for me. Her posts on eating in Paris and London interspersed with cupcake baking and restaurant reviews takes me away from the humdrum of daily life.
