I could spend all day on there, and when you see a photo you like it normally links to a blog with loads more photos of food and recipes. It's like a bottomless treasurechest

Sparks · 29-05-2009 4:09pm

Yup, it's one of my favorite blogs of all time, that one.

Foodgawker, which is very similar to Tastespotting, except that the posts get up about 2 days beforehand.

Foodgawker is absolutely my favourite food blog.

Beautiful photography lets you see the food properly and there is a ridiculously brilliant selection of different foods. There's a listing by category at the end of the page if you're looking for something in particular.

Mmmm...

First post so 'hello'!

Thank you for the tips. I had a look at foodgawker and tastespotting and they look great. I was even maybe thinking of contributing myself... but the photos are all professionally taken.

Does anyone here put their own work up on sites like these? Are these photos scanned in from magazines and cookery books? I'd prefer to use my own photos.

thejetset · 04-06-2009 1:05am

Thanks guys

Some great resources there!

As far as I know all the photos on tastespotting are just ones that people spot on blogs and cookery sites and recommend to the site, anyone can do it once you're registered with them. Most of them aren't professional shots, just very nice ones

Best way to get your photos on a site like that would be to set up a blog, post your photos and submit them to the site you want them to show on

MandyM · 05-06-2009 11:01am

Wow, having a look at all those blogs makes the efforts I put into mine feel like kids play, hehehe

Great sites! Now I'm going to be up all night browsing through all the eye-candy.... mmmmmmm.....

I love cheapeats.ie - its more than just a food blog, lots of different offers in shops and restaurants (check out the classifieds). Lots of tips and recipes. And great links to other food sites. I like it because its Irish and relevant.

Just got hooked on lookandtaste.com - lots of video recipes. Again an irish site so recipes are relevant.

Hi everyone,
We write a food blog called Chilli and Chocolate.

The blog does have a Belfast slant, but we're not adverse to more input from the rest of Ireland by any means.

The blog centres around recipes that we've made, restaurants or wines we've tried, and producers and shops we've sampled. There's also snippets of food-related news.

It'd be great if you could drop by and tell us what you think.

http://www.chilliandchocolate.com

Thanks

seasaltwithfood.com has unreal photos, i'd love to know how she does them (also hasselback spuds are AWESOME)

moonflower · 13-11-2009 11:57pm

It's fashion and food, but http://luxirare.com/ is amazing. Ignore the fashion posts if you like, but they're great too!

anthonno · 18-03-2010 10:45pm

I have a food blog at: http://celbridgecooking.blogspot.com/
I know it's a strange name, but it's where I live and I just wanted to get going :-) I also post stuff about gardening. Some of the ingredients I use in the recipes come from there. Like this one: Leek and potato soup.
I usually include a section on the sourcing of ingredients. I have built up a long list of places where I can get various ingredients. The more people that buy from these places the more likely they are to keep stocking the stuff I want to buy.
I find myself with some extra time on my hands at the moment and so am getting plenty of cooking done. Seemed like a good idea to start this.

crazy.daisy · 10-04-2010 10:08pm

I've started a recipe challenge blog, hoping to cook all of the recipes frrom Gordon Ramsays World Kitchen cookbook in an effort to expand my cooking horizons/repertoire. Its fun for me anyway!

Really like SmittenKitchen

duploelabs · 21-02-2011 8:43am

there's a big list here of irish bloggers
My current international one is this, the styling is unbelievable

Padraig Mor · 21-02-2011 9:21am

Tartelette

Really like this one - mostly oriented towards starters/light meals and (especially) desserts/cookies/tarts/etc. Fantastic photography.

chickenbutt · 22-04-2011 2:13pm

We should add more to this!

Like people said above, Smitten Kitchen is really good - I only just discovered it yesterday and already have a few recipes I want to try out. Particularly this onion soup recipe.

The Philadelphia website has some interesting recipes and they don't look difficult (the ones from the commercials look nice). I haven't tried any yet, though...

Bakerella is super cute. Hungry Girl is also good for low calorie recipes.

http://eatlikeagirl.com/ is a great blog by an irishwoman living in london, she's actually been so successful that she's having a book published later this year.

http://blog.fatfreevegan.com/ I really like too, has some lovely southern style cooking and useful for vegetarians as well as vegans.

both have amazing photos which is really the key to a great food blog

I started a food blog today. Hopefully I'll have a little longevity with this blog...

As for what I like to read, I'm enjoying all the boardsies' blogs at the moment. My favourite Irish food blog is definitely http://icanhascook.wordpress.com/. She has great photos on twitter too.

Might need to fix your second link there, neuro, it reverts to your own url if clicking, but easily copied/pasted when reading the text as is.

arknine · 16-08-2011 8:06am

My food blog is www.kitchen72.com just some quick/easy recipes

I've had a blog for over 3 years now. Initially, it was a mix of stuff, but in the last year, I've switched focus solely to food and restaurants.
