Roast vegies

Hello!

I hope you’ve had a gorgeous weekend.

Melbourne has turned on another rainy miserable day today. The girls & I have spent the day in the craft room though so I’m not complaining.

I’m wondering if you might be able to help me out? I would really like to know your very favourite foodie blogs.

If you’re a reader of cooking blogs please leave your recommendations in the comments.

Thanks muchly in advance.

See you tomorrow.

Kirsty

    Like Jodie & Cam I am solely devoted to Cathie, but I will watch the suggestions here with interest, I'm sure I could do with a bit more inspiration in the kitchen.

    Meanwhile – that photo is drool-worthy, there's not much better than roast vegies!

    I love Dawn over at http://beatuntilfluffy.blogspot.com She makes gorgeous sweeties and is a sweetie herself.

    PS – Just thought I'd mention that I haven't been able to load 'My Creative Space' off your site for a couple of weeks. Crashes my comp. I'm probably alone, but just thought I'd mention. x

    Ok, so I'm not that quick on the draw, but I'd have to say Smitten Kitchen, too. Love it! And her food photography is so beautiful. Then of course there's 'What katie Ate", which is also gorgeous and her food styling pics are excellent.

    What a great list!
    I read a lot of food/restaurant review blogs because of our business, but Cathie's is the only cooking blog I read regularly.
    I am most looking forward to clicking my way through some of these though.

    I love http://annesfood.blogspot.com/. She's one of those crazy 'daring bakers' and all that stuff is way too ambitious for me but makes for great armchair viewing. She's Swedish so there's some additional exoticism there and her chicken with lentils is AMAZING.
