Shout Out: What Are Your Favorite Food Sites?
No, we're not fishing for compliments here. We want to know what food sites you read when you're not pouring over CTbites.
Which sites are filling up your google reader and tempt you away from your day job? Are there sites you've bookmarked and always seem to return to when you need a recipe or inspiration?
We want to know which sites make you salivate, contemplate or just laugh? Or maybe you have a site that you think oughta be seen & heard.
What food sites are you reading? What are your favorites?

For cheeky food news I'm usually logged into Eatocracy. For recipes I'm always checking Serious Eats, specifically Slice, and although I'm a carnivore, I can't help but love the vegan recipes on OhSheGlows. For recent inspiration I'm scouring David Leibovitz, French Fridays with Dorie and La Tartine Gourmande. And of course I'm always reading local/regional food blogs on CTbites Links We Like" .
Regina Schrambling's Gastropoda is sharp, smart and real.
My fave go to site is www.smittenkitchen.com. The author is LOL funny and a committed farmers' markets shopper. Just as you think you are gonna bust if you encounter another bunch of kale, Deb comes to the rescue with a great recipe. She indexes by season and ingredients, making this site an easy resource for inspiration.

I love looking at all sorts of food blogs, but here are a few of my favorites: 101 Cookbooks, La Tartine Gourmande, Elana's Pantry, Kalyn's Kitchen.
I love Mark Bittman's blog www.bittman.com
I also read The Burger Beast www.burgerbeast.com because he's an acquaintance
Steve Raichlens BarbecueBible.com
I enjoy Foodista and Food2 also
There's so many it's hard to read them all. That said, I've (re-)started mine: @CookingCuban www.cookingincuban.com in the late 90s, having a webpage meant you used Geocities because domain names & webhosting were expensive. I'd started it and was running it for a couple of years. then one day I deleted it by accident and all my hard work was lost.
I get every month the Newsletter from Emiliefrenchchef.com. I love looking at the recipe ot the month as it is usually original and tasty and not too complicated. I also love the section dedicated to "What is happening in ladies kitchen in Paris". Lauren
I actually cook from: Smitten Kitchen and 101 Cookbooks.
My other favorites are La Tartine Gourmande, David Lebovitz, What Katie Ate, Pinch My Salt, and Tartelette
I like to visit Full Plate www.mealsinasnap.com. The author provides delicious and very practical recipes for families. She demystifies cooking and her passion for it is contagious.

CT Bites is wonderful for Fairfield County residents! I find myself referring to it more frequently than the CT Zagat's guide for it's up-to-the minute reviews and new openings. Nice work always -- and thank you.
Orangette is also one of my favorite food blogs. I learned about it and others from Gwyneth Paltrow's site Goop.com. She has great taste and sensibility. Here's the link to the newsletter of her favorite food blogs:
