Most Sundays on Amuse Bouche there is a segment I publish called “Sunday Brunch”. It’s where we shine a little Internet love on a food blog and blogger that has caught my eye and we feature them. At the end of the quarter, our Editor-in-Chief, Jo Packham, selects one of the lovely women featured weekly to be in an upcoming issue of Where Women Cook.
We had so many great women that it was a VERY difficult decision to pick one of them. We are very pleased to announce that Jenny Flake of “Picky Palate” is our first Sunday Brunch winner!
Jenny will appear in Issue 3, which hits the shelves June 1st!
Congratulations, Jenny!
And now I have a question for you, our readers.
I LOVE getting to know the food community better. We are working with such diverse people in so many corners of the food world and I have loved and been fascinated by it. Since my background is in blogging and social media, I have taken a particular shine to the many food bloggers I have encountered since coming to work for Where Women Cook, which is why I started the Sunday Brunch segment of Amuse Bouche.
And I love the feedback we get from our readers and community. So, here is what I want to know:
What food bloggers DO YOU love?
Whose blogs would you like to see on Sunday Brunch (and hopefully in our magazine)? Who do you love? Who has a GREAT story or a fabulous cooking space or makes and photographs food so well you want to lick your screen?
Who is that diamond in the rough I might be missing?
Let’s give some internet love today!
I can’t promise that they will end up on our pages, but I am so looking forward to seeing and reading the blogs our readers love and admire.
So, let’s hear it! Who is your food blog “must read”?
If you want to win a full conference pass to The Creative Connection Event, Chaps gear and a 1-year subscription to both Where Women Cook and Where Women Create magazines, don’t forget to enter our “Blue Plate Special” giveaway celebrating the launch of Issue 2! The contest closes Friday, March 11th at 11:59pm MST!
I have become a big fan of Gina’s Skinny Recipes as someone who is trying to take of all the weight I put back on after my hubby and I got married. Her food is always photographed well and tastes yummy (which is the most important!).
Oh, where to begin! I now follow more blogs than I actually have time to read! But the ones i turn to the most are Smitten Kitchen, 101 Cookbooks, Everybody loves Sandwiches and The Kitchen Sink …

All About Food by Sue Doeden
Here are a few of my favorite reads: Taster Tots, Steamy Kitchen, White on Rice Couple, What’s Gaby Cooking, Food Woolf, Family Fresh Cooking, Deliciously Organic, La Fuji Mama, Matt Bites, Two Peas and their Pod, Homesick Texan, How Sweet It Is, The Italian Dish, The Urban Baker - and the list goes on…!
My absolute favorite cooking blogger is Joy from http://www.joythebaker.com. She mixes just the right amount of personal anecdotes with her delicious recipes. She is a talented writer as well as an excellent baker and definitely deserves recognition
My new favorite blog is “Our Best Bites”. I’m hoping that one day, in the far away future, that my blog will be half as successful as theirs. I really admire them and their new cookbook is great!
Mennonite Girls Can Cook!! One of my most favorites, but now I’m going to have to look at all those others lol!
Tartelette.
Most amazing photography and authentic person.
Sorry for the bad link.

I second soo many of the above. My current faves are:
http://sweetapolita.com/blog
http://lick-my-spoon.blogspot.com
http://6bittersweets.com
I hope a new blogger is chosen rather than the usual suspects!
My favorite food blogger is Heather Baird @ http://www.sprinklebakes.com/ Not only is she a fabulous baker, she’s my cousin too
I love SouthernPlate.com..Christy Jordan is a gem!!
Oh, I second Mennonite Girls Can Cook. I’ve been following them for a couple of years now. Their first cookbook is coming out in June and I’m so excited for them. I also appreciate that their blog isn’t a fancy production - just done through Blogger but with millions of hits! Simple is sometimes better.
A couple of my favorites are:
http://asweetspoonful.com/
and
http://alpineberry.blogspot.com/
I am so glad you asked - I have just discovered “Sprinklebakes” and it is fantastic! I also just found “Delightful Country Cookin’” and “Cinnamon Spice & Everything Nice” - I think these 3 are terrific!
Southern Plate with Christy Jordan is wonderful. Good southern cooking with lots of simple ingredients. She also shares wonderful stories from her heart on cooking and growing up in the south.
I love

I stumbled across Doughmesstic a few months ago, and love her style! The way she approaches cooking is like having a friend there with you.
Plus, she’s snarky as hell.
Fun!
I see you are going to Blogher Food- and I saw she’s throwing a huge party at the Hard Rock. You should go, and let us know what shes really like!
Her site is http://www.doughmesstic.com
Sea Salt Caramel Brownies. Need I say more?
I recently discovered Iowa Girl Eats at http://iowagirleats.com/
She is young, fresh, and prepares real meals. Check her out.
