Top 10 Food Blogs from Around the World
TOP 10 FOOD BLOGS
1) Mexico Cooks – Cristina
Potter’s knowledge of Mexican food is matched only by her passion for
her adopted home. The best starting point for anyone who wants to learn
more about the varied cuisine of this extraordinary country.2) Eating Asia
– Robyn Eckhardt knows more about the food of South East Asia than
anyone I have ever encountered. Check out a recent post on The
Philippines for an example of superb food writing.3) Silverbrow on food
– The quirky journal of a man whose eating is restricted by the Jewish
rules of Kashrut, the author still seems to pack away plenty of food
and writes about it very well.4) Grab your fork
– All food bloggers should aspire to be as good as Helen Yee. Her
wonderful website, mainly about Sydney is a daily read for me even if
she is discussing places halfway across the world.5) Chocolate and zucchini
– Clotilde Dusoulier’s online presence remains the ne plus ultra of
French food blogs and has been supported by the recent publication of
books based on her experiences of shopping, eating and cooking in Paris.(Click the above link to Top 10 Food Blogs from Around the World for the next five blogs.)
To say that Mexico Cooks! all but fell off her chair when The Times emailed with this news is an understatement. We're still grinning and more than a bit dazzled.

I should pass on my latest variation of tortilla espanola. It hardly matches up with the traditional recipe any more — other than the presence of eggs, onion, and potatoes. But there is now much more. I may post something.
