Link Love... and an Award!

So many great websites and only so much time in the day. Here are a few of my favorite sites- some old and some new, but all are quality places to hang out, read and take home a few recipes.


MakeMySupper.com
This is a website that lets you broadcast your own cooking show. It differs from YouTube in that all of these videos are related to cooking. They're really fun to watch (and you can make yourself a star too, if desired.)

Hostess With the Mostess
All about entertaining and party themes. She's got a blog on her site too. Marthaesque cute!

Yum Sugar
Superb food-related content blog. It's updated a LOT so it's hard to keep up with if you're just an occasional browser. YumSugar has interesting posts on newfound food products and kitchen accessories, and highlights recipes as well.

SlashFood
Updated often, this site contains food news from across the world and cookbook reviews. You might see an occasional featured blog post from one of your fellow food bloggers too.

Serious Eats
Lots more food-related news that is updated often. Several well-known contributors make this an interesting read.

Project Foodie
If you're looking for a recipe from Cooking Light, Bon Appetit, Food & Wine, Cook's Illustrated, Saveur, or Gourmet, this site has a search feature that will allow you to find it. You can also view all recipes from any month/year and there's a link to the recipe that you're looking for. Nice for being able to browse recipes from a magazine that you don't currently subscribe to.

Alltop
They describe themselves as having a "digital magazine rack" of internet topics. Alltop selects sites that they deem interesting and feature them along with a list of their most recent posts. In the food section, you may see of few of our blogger friends!

Another great food blogging site- You Say Tomato... I Say Tomato has some amazing photography and witty writing. The blog's author- Pixie- is from the UK and she's hosting a blogging event called Putting Up . Make your favorite condiment and join in on this event!

Pixie bestowed upon me the Arte y Pico award. Thanks a bunch Pixie! I'm honored to receive an award from you :)

Here's how it works:
You select 5 blogs that you feel excel in creativity, design, interesting material, and also contribute to the blogging community, no matter what language.

I'm going to send along this award to a few of my faves:

Luisa at The Wednesday Chef. She's a biggie already, I know. But I truly enjoy her writing and her focus on topics that are appealing to me. Her current post is about Rancho Gordo beans... something I've been meaning to try.

Prudy at Prudence Pennywise. Her tagline is "Scandalously Good Food- on a Budget." Her goal is to feed her family of four on $100 a week- something I don't believe I could ever do! But she manages to come up with some great ideas to achieve this goal! And her website is cute, too. Be prepared for music.

Emiline at Sugar Plum. She cracks me up with her off-the-cuff writing style. She has great recipes to share (often her own creations), and I think she'd be fun to hang out with :)

Kristin at The Kitchen Sink. Always quality, drool-worthy photography. Terrific choices in recipes (stuff I'd really make.) And she's an everyday poster. I don't know how she keeps it up, but I sure enjoy all her blog has to offer!

Jessy at Baking Blondie. You'll be amazed when you see what this 15 year old features on her blog. The photos are nice, and she bakes up incredible things that I wouldn't even think of trying to make. Her current post: Crumpets!
