it goes without saying that i follow a lot of food blogs. i’ve only been at this myself for a little shy of a year, but first obsessing over the recipes and experiences of other bloggers is what inspired me to share my own baking adventures. although i’ve got a whole list of my favorites on the sidebar (on the right, scroll down), i wanted to give a little shout out to a few i’ve been particularly fond of lately:
macheesmo
nick is a workhorse. one of his resolutions for 2009 is to hit 300 posts – a tall order for any blogger. he’s on track to exceed his goal, and here’s the thing – he makes it look easy. nick takes the time to do his research, snap great pictures and make every post practical and thoughtful. he deserves all the success he’s destined to receive.
food loves writing
there are some blogs you breeze through to check for new stuff, and then there are the ones you set aside to savor at the end of the day. start savoring this one today.
the bitten word
clay and zach are addicted to food magazines. luckily, they put their stacks of gourmet, food & wine and bon appetit to good use by letting us in on the very best recipes they discover. honest about their successes and failures, the bitten word is a reliable companion for anyone looking for consistently delicious meals. i’ve probably cooked more from this blog than any other.
last night’s dinner
i’m completely jealous of how well jennifer and her husband eat. it’s inspiring to see picture after picture of local, seasonal food become incredibly creative and decadent meals. i dream of cooking like this one day. and even though there are no recipes, no other blog has made me want to get in the kitchen so much.
wild yeast blog
susan has only been baking bread since 2006, but from the looks of her blog, you would think she’s been at it her whole life. she’s passionate about bread – so passionate she built her own earth oven! you can feel the love in every loaf she bakes, which, by the way, look good enough to eat off the screen. with equal parts humor and humility, susan’s posts strike the perfect balance between helping readers understand the mechanics of baking and showing what it means to truly love to bake.

Aw, thanks, Pete! This makes me so happy.
PS – Love your blog, too!
Pete, I am truly truly honored. I am blushing also! Thank you.
And you do a pretty darned good job yourself of showing what it means to love to bake!
You should hit up the omnomicon (omnomicon.com). I read it for the deliciousness, and because Aleta is hi-larious.
Pete! Thanks for the shout-out! We have a blog-crush on your blog, too.
If you’re ever up for a Sweeps-week-style PeteBakes/BittenWord crossover, let us know!
Also, the photo with this post is INSPIRED. Awesome!

Hello.
I check out your blog along with Smitten Kitchen, Joy the Baker, Matt Bites, the Pioneer Woman, and a few others.
Keep on baking.
I love the photo with this post – it reminds me of my masthead photo, which was SO much fun to put together. I particularly like the wooden spoon, especially since you’ve mentioned how much you love them 🙂
yours is great! writing in flour is a lot more fun than i thought it would be.
I read yours, of course, plus a few other can’t-miss sites:
Wednesday Chef
Chocolate and Zucchini
Burning Pasta
Food in My Beard
gas•tron•o•my
A couple of these are new to me, so I can’t wait to check them! I love Shannalee, too. She’s a dear. I also tend to hang out at Joy the Baker a good bit. Her photos just make me want to eat a big piece of cake and then take a lovely nap. Thanks for your list!
well I like smitten kitchen, 101 cookbooks among others as well as yours. But I have to say that http://www.icelandicchef.blogspot.com is the best!!! ….:)
Joy the Baker
King Arthur Flour Blog
and yours, of course
I enjoy reading the Seasonal Ontario Food Blog.
I like a blog that had a recipe for Spicy Chickpea Snacks, which taste remarkably like popcorn, but I don’t recall the name of the blog. The one I linked to is not the recipe I first found, but it is also an enjoyable blog to read.
I found the blog where I first found the roasted chickpea snack recipe. It is called Cheap Healthy Good.
