Today is a bank holiday in the UK which means nobody is really working, its gray and rainy, and next thing I will take my work on the memory stick and go home. I went to the office to catch up with some papers and drifted quickly off to look at some food blogs, and thats what I discovered today…
1) The Food Pornographer: with very nice images, inspiring recipes, looks realy good. (the post on Chutney Mary’s Indian Restaurant in Australia is specially inspiring and can be found here http://www.thefoodpornographer.com/?p=711
2) Then there is this one, Foodbloggin where I hope to become a contributor…
3) A Swiss food blog, blogging out of Switzerland, by a Japanese lady called Makiko, married to a Swiss man. The blog is up since 2003 and looks very yumy, I think there is a lot to discover,… you can find it here under Justhungry
4) Tonight we are cooking a classic Swiss dish: Kalbsgeschnetzeltes zuercher Art. (which means thin slices of veal, button mushrooms, white wine, cream sauce, served mostly with Roesti or Taglierini, more of this will follow later on tonight…)
Loads of recipes and insight into Swiss cuisine can be found on Ruedi’s website. There is still the Christmas image on the front page, I really hope nothing happened to him and wish that he is travelling somewhere to update his great food resources. Currently there is Morocco, Italy, and endless other resources on European countries from Algarve to Walloon. All of them are on other sites. It is absolutely fascinating and I would love to get to know Ruedi. (If you happen to be in London, drop me a note and be my guest)
5) and then there is World on a Plate which sounds very interesting too…

ps, the best way to start if you’re unsure about what to order may be the curry buffet… there are plenty around London!
admittedly, whenever i’ve been for a curry buffet, the offerings were usually sub-standard, so on second thoughts, it may not be the best way to introduce yourself to indian cuisine…

You are making me really hungry. Not good. I’m supposed to be on a diet.
