Blogroll: Lobstersquad

Described as “a food blog with drawings,” Lobstersquad is one of my favorite food blogs. The author is in Madrid, Spain and not only does she write wonderfully about food and eating and cooking, I absolutely adore her illustrations. If my drawing skills ever improve and I start posting them here, you can blame her for the inspiration.

It’s always an enjoyable read, and I definitely will have to go to Madrid someday as the food options sound delightful.

Lobstersquad also has an RSS feed available.

Blogroll: rec.food.recipes

Rather than dumping all the other great food blogs & other internet resources into the sidebar all at once, I’ll be giving each one it’s own entry with some information and props on what they’re putting out there.

The first isn’t a blog, but it’s usenet – rec.food.recipes. Moderated by Patricia Hill, among others, it is a treasure trove of recipes that cover just about every possibility out there. Requests can be sent in and the request list is published a couple times a week, and you can submit your own recipes, regardless of if they are on the request list or not.

Because it is a moderated list, the signal to noise ratio is excellent – no flame wars here whatsoever. Though the relative randomness of what gets posted may be a little disconcerting to some, I find it’s great for getting ideas on cooking things I just haven’t made in a while, or trying a new ingredient.

The link here and in the sidebar is to the google groups version of it, but any newsreader should be able to pick it up. (The google groups version of it also has a search function that seems to work well if you’re looking for something with a specific ingredient or such.)
