We mostly mention and link to political and academic blogs on CT. But there are whole worlds of other blogs out there. One such world that I like to visit whenever I get the chance is the food and recipe blogosphere. This week, Chocolate and Zucchini is celebrating its first birthday, congrats! That blog has come a long way. It has been mentioned in various media outlets across the globe. Its author, Clotilde, is throwing a birthday party this week in Paris (her home base) and has even opened up a forum for C&Z readers to discuss all topics related to cooking, baking, restaurants, etc. The wonderful images with which she illustrates her posts add that much more to visiting her site (and it’s all licensed under a Creative Commons License). Reading C&Z always makes me wish I had more time to cook and bake.
Another food blog I visit on occasion is Foodgoat, which takes food discussion to another level including comments about new food products on the U.S. market. And today I found C’est moi qui l’ai fait! through C&Z, another blog sure to get me inspired in the kitchen. My own modest contributions are on a recipe page I compiled mostly made up of some Hungarian specialties. I owe all that knowledge to my Mom who didn’t succeed in getting me excited about cooking while I was still living at home, but who has been a source of inspiration (and much helpful information!) an ocean apart. She is quite the cook and even has a cookbook out in English about Hungarian cooking (written in her “spare” time while continuing her first-rate scientific career). The recipe section, by the way, is one of the most popular parts of my site through search engine referrals (yeah, well, I’d like to think people are interested in my research, but I can’t blame them for preferring to cook a good chicken paprikash instead). I have also started to document good restaurants in Chicagoland.
In my part of the world, the weather is getting chillier and various fun holidays are approaching so I anticipate spending more time cooking and baking (although my upcoming travel schedule may challenge me on that). This is a good time to take stock of relevant blogs out there. I invite you to post links to your favorite food and recipe blogs (and other sites) here.
The chicken paprikash recipe looks great, Eszter, but it doesn’t say what kind of flower to use. Looks like it would affect the flavor :)
Argh.. had meant to change that years ago! Thanks for catching it. Of course, maybe that little typo could lead to some great new gourmet discovery.;)
I noted a few not-too-spendy local restaurants on your personal web page just now by following the Chicago eats link, above.

Mmmm Nice.
Glad to see your recipe page — now I don’t have to bug my mother for the dumpling recipe. I’d just note that a dumpling maker isn’t essential. I was used to seeing my mother and grandmother turn the dough out onto a cutting board and cut it into small pieces with a knife (dropping the pieces into the water immediately).
I’m a fan of the Cheese Diaries.
I list my favorite Lebanese & other recipes on the right side of Dove’s Eye View.
This page contains several Arabic recipe sources online.
Hope I coded the HTML correctly.
FYI, I’ve edited people’s comments to make all links work and I’ve deleted some posts accordingly (the repetitions). Doing my best to make this a user-friendly site.;-)
A low fat Hungarian cookbook!
Sorry Eszter but that brings a smile to my fat face.
I will definately have to buy your mothers book.
Just to clarify, it includes low-fat recipes, the whole book is not claiming to be your window to a low-fat diet.;-) (I don’t even bother to try to eat healthy when I visit Budapest.;)
Chocolate and Zucchini is an excellent site! I can’t believe it’s been up for 5 years. Clotilde writes so well, seems so gracious, and the picture choices are always so vibrant and sensual.
Hungarian food is so delicious but I didn’t know it could be simultaneously healthy! Such a combination would be a winner.
“Firth.” I love it. This is a word the English language needs… encompassing “first,” “fourth” and “fifth.” And who knows what else?
UPDATE: I corrected the typo from “firth birthday” to “first birthday”. This should explain the last two comments. Troy, C&Z has been around for one year not five. Dow, thanks for catching that.:)
