The 10 Websites Foodies HAVE to Bookmark

Well, besides this.
I don’t know about you but I spend way too much time on the computer. Really. I do. I am always looking for new recipes, to see what other people are doing, to see if anyone has left cool comments (hint) and to see if, you know, PBS has emailed me about giving me a cooking show yet.
Anyway, with the lack of time we all experience I thought that you might be interested in my 10 picks for the top foodie sites on the internet. These are the sites that i find myself heading toward over and over again.
1.All Recipes - This site is brilliant in my opinion. The recipes are easy to find, they have normal ingredients and they are rated by users. Add to that the comments on the recipes that people can make and it is easy to see if something is going to work for you or not. I love it.
2. Epicurious- Home of Bon Appetit and Gourmet Magazines. Awesome five star recipes, the stuff you want when you are cooking for someone you want to impress. They also have a rating system but it isn’t as good as All Recipes.
3. Group Recipes This is a cool site because besides recipes it provides a way to hook up and socialize with other food freaks and have your food rated. There are some incredible cooks there.
4.Chocolate Chipped, Food Porn For Chocolate Lovers I love this. Chocolate, chocolate and more chocolate. Yeah it’s food porn. Yeah I am addicted. So what?
5.Food Reference Is it about food? Then it is here. For example from today’s trivia section:DID YOU KNOW? Food Trivia
Mortadella is the original bologna - a very large smoked sausage (usually pork) from Bologna, Italy, studded with cubes of pork fat, peppercorns and/or pistachios and/or green olives. American bologna (boloney) is a very poor imitation.
Mortadella probably dates back to the 15th century, and the original recipes included myrtle, ‘mortella’ in Italian, hence the name.
6.Food Styling This is awesome. It has helped me alot with learning to plate, photograph, and style food for my blogs. And it is just great to look at. I am having trouble choosing and because the first site has photography but not instruction I am adding this How To Photograph Food, sort of a two for one deal, here at Baking Delights! Lots of tips and hints here too.
7.Chef Shop -Need some candied rose petals? what about Madagascar vanilla? What ever you need you can find here!
8 Chef Depot -If you can’t find it here it may not exist!
9. Star Chefs Cookbooks, recipes, interviews..awesome!
10.Wilton- I learned to make cakes with Wilton, and because of them I was able to create a beautiful wedding cake for my daughter. This is the cakers’ place to be! Great forums, awesome inspiration and information!
There are really so many places that are awesome, so many talented bloggers..but when you need something specific these are the pages to head for!

This is a really nice list. There are some sites I’ve never heard of before.
I used to decorate cakes. Maybe some day I’ll pick it up again.

Inge,
I have no access to good cooking things here so I have to rely on the internet. You always make me jealous of the wonderufl things you have available.
