I never let a day pass before skimming the various food publications that motivate me to write, cook, be creative, spend my savings on eating out, and live life to the fullest through my food adventures. Below are some of my frequent inspirations, as well as crucial sources of info:
SeriousEats – A picture-focused food publication with routine columns ranging from “Sandwich a Day” to “Smorgas Board”
Eater NY – A New York-centric food blog with regular, trusty restaurant reviews
Grub Street – The only blog I receive in my email inbox, it filters the most noteworthy food news of the day
Martha Stewart – Martha has been an inspiration to me since I was 10 years old. I visit this site for baking (all of her recipes are fool-proof and kitchen tested) and decorating ideas, especially around the holidays.
The Pioneer Woman – A site that quickly grew from tiny recipe blog to developed content platform for all things home-making
NYC Foodie – A blog by a man who has devoted his life to dining and reviewing in New York City
Epicurious – Wonderful online recipe Bible with lengthy, educated reviews
Yelp – Though the reviews are sometimes rigged, this site is my first resort when looking for photos of food to gauge a restaurant’s style
MenuPages – Not only is this a one stop shop for menus, its “similar restaurant” list is amazingly resourceful and great idea generator when you want something close, but not identical to a restaurant you love
Runway Hippie – After close inspection you’ll realize this is everything but a food blog. However, its consistent gorgeous photos, tastefulness, and quirky posts keep me coming back for more
