So it seems there’s a new blog out there each day. Anyone can host a blog on any topic he or she wants. Free speech in its ultimate form! In the last year, I’ve found that I really enjoy food blogs, almost as much as I like to read cooking magazines. I love some of them for their great recipes and photos, some for the quick information, and some for their educational value. Here are a few I check out regularly:
Stacey Snacks: Stacey is all about cooking with food in season, and she includes great photos to go with her recipes. I made her leek and asparagus quiche in the spring with market eggs and asparagus and loved it!
Mouthful: This newly named News & Observer blog is a wealth of information for foodies! Get the latest on restaurant happenings, cookbook author visits, wine dinners and more in our area.
In the Field: This blog highlights programs of the NC Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. That may sound a bit dry, but the blog postings have some nifty bits of information about local food events and recipes for seasonal produce.
Little Homestead in the City: This online journal chronicles the life of the Dervaes family in Pasadena, CA, where they grow 6,000 pounds of produce on 1/5th of an acre in the city and live as green a lifestyle as they can. It’s fascinating—their life is so different from my suburban life here in Cary.
Cooking Up a Story and The Daily Table address healthy eating in a sustainable way…and what that means. It’s been an education!
A few market vendors blog too: Coon Rock Farm and Muddy Dog Coffee. (You can check out web sites for most market vendors here)
How about you…have any favorite food-related/eating local blogs? Send us a note at info@westernwakefarmersmarket.org and tell us why. We’ll share the link.
