Smitten Kitchen is my desert island blog. From a woman who at last count had well over 200 subscriptions in her Google Reader, that’s a fairly strong statement I guess, but there it is.
Deb is one of a handful of legends in the food blogging world and justly so. Her tagline is “your new favourite things to cook” and it’s so true. She manages to be uncannily accurate in capturing the food zeitgeist and by that I don’t mean she is a food faddist, far from it – she’s completely unpretentious. However judging by the number of commenters who exclaim “I’ve been looking for something like this!” I’m not the only one who didn’t know that what Deb’s cooking is exactly what I want to cook too, until she said so.

This isn’t a Japanese onomatopoeia post, but it’s trying to trick me into being one. They’ve infiltrated my brain I tell you, I need succour! You mightn’t think that onomatopoeia could infiltrate a brain but I’m living proof – it’s like Swiss cheese in there from where the onomatopoeia worms have feasted and taken up residence (speaking of which, I’ve also been fretting about whether the audio file on the last post is too small to notice, what do you think?)

While I pretty much eat anything, I know I’m lucky to be able to do so. I’m sure it’s no coincidence that we are both the most chemical-drenched generation in history and suffering from an unprecedented rise in auto-immune diseases.
Like many cooks, for me, part of the joy of cooking for my friends is the feeling of nourishing them and taking care of them in a practical way. It’s sad that people are made to feel as though they should apologise for their food choices but I often hear “oh, sorry to be a pain but I can’t/don’t eat…” In fact, since I have such an endless pile of recipes, it helps me to have some parameters when I think about a menu.
