Blogs I Love

I recently discovered two very addictive food blogs that I just can't keep to myself. The food photography is also amazing on both sites.

The first site is Gilt Taste. Gilt Taste is run by Gilt which is a free-membership shopping site. Gilt Taste has sections for recipes, gifts, and sales, but my favorite section is called "Stories". This blog has amazing stories about food and cooking written by some of the best food writers out there, including Ruth Reichl. These stories might make you laugh or cry, and I guarantee they will also make you hungry!

The second site is Food Gawker. Food Gawker is basically a photo gallery of some of the best recipes around the web. The site gets hundreds of submissions every day from food bloggers around the world, and only the best are chosen. Clicking on a photo takes you directly to the recipe. The site is mouth-wateringly delicious!

Here's a round up of several cooking and baking blogs I discovered just this week. Not only are the recipes delicious, but the food photography in these blogs is amazing as well. I've added them all to my blog reader, and you may want to too!

A Farm Girl's Dabbles
Lots of desserts and savory recipes on this blog. I can't wait to make her German Chocolate Cake and Classic Pot Roast.

Bake at 350
This blog has the most beautiful, creative cookies you've ever seen. There must be a cookie for every occasion here. The recipe I can't wait to make though is these Mint Cream Cheese Brownies.

Bakers Royale
This blog is all about desserts, especially cupcakes and cakes. Yum yum! These Chocolate Raspberry Cakes look so good!

Good Life Eats
There's a wide variety of recipes on this blog, along with lots and lots of kitchen tips. These Cupcakes with Triple Cream Cheese Frosting are the first thing I want to make here.

Gourmande in the Kitchen
This blog is full of simple, unfussy, beautifully photographed food. Written by Sylvie, the recipes reflect her French heritage, like these deliciously simple French Radish and Sprout Tartines.

I Am Baker
The most beautifully decorated and delicious cakes and treats can be found on this blog. If you want cakes, cookies or other baked goodies for a special occasion, this is the place to look. I plan to start with this Chocolate Covered Cherry Cake.

My Baking Addiction
This blog is all about baking: bar cookies, breakfast goodies, brownies, cakes, chocolate, cookies, cupcakes, muffins, and pies, with a few entrees thrown in. The photos are beautiful and the site is chock full of baking tips. How yummy do these Stout Cupcakes with Chocolate Covered Pretzels look?!

My Kitchen Addiction
There is a wide variety of recipes on this blog, from sweets and treats to main dishes and soups. Jen also runs a monthly Kitchen Boot Camp, and has tons of tips and tutorials. These Maple Sourdough Cinnamon Rolls look like a great weekend treat.

That's it! Those are my new favorites. Look for many recipes from these sites to make it into my upcoming Weekly Menu plans!

Two of my favorite Shutter Sisters have started a new blog. Called London vs. Paris, the blog is a "photographic treasure hunt" between Irene Nam's home in Paris and Xanthe Berkeley's home in London. They photograph the same subject in their own cities, then post the resulting diptych. I love photographic collaborations like this and can't wait to see more!

Check out this beautiful blog I just discovered, At Home At Home (why oh why have I never noticed it before?!). Laura Joliet is not only an amazing photographer, but a stylist, writer and decorator as well. Her photographs are lovely as is her sense of design. Definitely a must-read to add to your blog list.
