Okay, I'm back again, because I just have to nominate Molly from Orangette. That girl's a poet.

Molly from My Madeleine. I have to echo what was said above about her courage and lovely writing.

And David Lebovitz. I just took a cooking class with him this evening, and he's hilarious!

I nominate Superchefblog for Writing, demonstrated time and time again over the past year:

• Most complete coverage of this year's White House Chef selection - example "White House Chef: Close to the Bone" which predicted Cris Comerford's selection

• Best chef profiles, including profiles of some 20 woman chef nominees in addition to in-depth chef profiles - example "Suvir Saran - Super Chef"

• Best critiques of Food Television - example, "Kitchen Confidential: Spiceless"

• Most thoughtful Cookbook reviews - example "Cocina Betty Crocker: Portent?" which was picked up and syndicated nationwide in articles by The Houston Chronicle and The Philadelphia Inquirer

• Best dicussions of Chefs in Politics - example "Foie Gras War: Voodoo and Vigilantes"

• Funnest pokes and Humor - many examples, of which one of the most recent was "The Sex in Christmas"

• Coverage of Hurricane Katrina and the Asian Tsunami

I also think Superchefblog's article images are thoughtfully chosen to compliment the Writing and are often wildly sarcastic -- for those who read at more than a cursory glance.

Click through Superchefblog to enjoy -- and be sure to vote for my favorite reading (and yours), Superchefblog.

Comment from: Regan Burns [Visitor] · http://www.ChowMag.com
www.ChowMag.com is the weblog for the new food magazine called CHOW. CHOW takes a smart, fresh, (and sometimes a little wacky) approach towards addressing food topics and cooking. The weblog is great--even more personal than the magazine. The Editor in Chief, Jane Goldman, posts quite often, putting an original spin on notable (and quotable) goings-on in the food world.
