Three Gorgeous Food Blogs

Admittedly, these three blogs have all been around for some time. But they're new to me, and they might be new to you. Enjoy!


Food 52
This fairly well known site has a definite grassroots feel. It introduces cute thematic ideas, like "Dinner and a Movie" (which pairs, for instance, recipes for glazed ham, mint tea and biscuits with To Kill a Mockingbird); "charcutepalooza," a monthly cured meat-related challenge; and a section devoted to cooking questions and advice ("Food Pickle" - "In a pickle?").

A friend of a friend is the site's senior editor, and if she's any indication, the staff works hard and lavishes love on the project.

The Sprouted Kitchen

This blog's tagline says it all: "A tastier take on whole foods."  No meat recipes here, just super seasonal recipes going no further up the food chain than fish and eggs. What I'm really taken with, however, are the beautiful step-by-step photos that accompany each recipe. Here are a few:

White on Rice Couple

OK, so the name could be less cutesy, but I totally covet the lives of these two Los Angeles-based food photographers. They've got amazing palettes and take on some very interesting recipes, often with an Asian spin (e.g., focaccia with pork belly, sriracha-glazed chicken wings). And, obviously, their photos are just breathtaking.

I love to come across new blog beauties. Let me know if you have some up your sleeve.
