chef-blogs-on-computer-in-kitchen-by-edkohler.jpg There are 37,500,000 chef blogs. Give or take a million. But, that’s the number that Google says there are if you search for the term.

Most of them, of course, are worthless. They are not really interesting or informative. They are not well written or topical. They are not written by chefs who have much to say (presuming they are actually written by chefs at all).

But there are some good ones. Scores of them, in fact. And there are 4 in particular I find myself going back to read frequently.

 

Tom Colicchio – Top Chef

tom-colicchio-top-chef.jpgOne of my favorite chef blogs is by Tom Colicchio from "Top Chef".

Now, if you don’t watch Bravo’s "Top Chef" then you may want to skip this one since it is directly related to the show.

That said, what I like about it is that Tom doesn’t pull any punches. His blog posts explain everything from the judging criteria to how the show is filmed to why the judges made their decision. He also isn’t afraid to lay out exactly how he feels about things related to the show or the food on it.


Anthony Bourdain – No Reservations

anthony-bourdain-no-reservations.jpgAnother television show chef’s blog that’s fun to read is Anthony Bourdain’s. He is the best-selling author and host of the Travel Channel’s "No Reservations".

This guy is a very entertaining writer. His style is honest and brash. You’ll laugh, you may be offended, but you’ll be back for more.

Many of his blog posts are about the show, including behind the scenes moments, but this blog also wanders off into other parts of Anthony’s mind. He’ll talk about food, of course, but then there are posts that you’re not sure where they came from. Like a recent one where he critiqued every show on Noggin and Nick Jr. (although now there is no Noggin and it’s all Nick Jr., but that’s a story for another website).

 

Mark Bittman – The Minimalist

Mark Bittman is another author I enjoy reading.

Mark is the author of How to Cook Everything, Food Matters and several other books. He is also the author of The Minimalist for The New York Times (and if you don’t subscribe to The Minimalist cooking video podcasts you should – very entertaining and very informative).

His blog is called Bitten and it is a great take on food and cooking. It is somewhat east coast/New York centric but since it’s his blog for The New York Times, that’s to be expected. Plus you get a look inside the New York restaurant scene.

 

Evan Kleinman – Good Food

Evan-Kleinman-Good-Food.jpgOn the other coast is Evan Kleinman who hosts KCRW radio’s "Good Food" (and if you don’t live in Southern California you should subscribe to the podcast of the show – it’s great).

Evan’s blog offers posts exploring food topics from what’s fresh at the farmer’s market, to what she’s cooking, to videos and other food tidbits she finds interesting. It’s a good companion piece to her show and you’ll pick up some good recipes.

I’ve been in the food industry for years. Grilling and tailgating are my specialties. I’m also addicted to watching food shows on TV.

About Us

LynnetteI love my kitchen... and I like to cook. But my #1 requirement is that recipes have fewer than 7 ingredients (or arrive on my doorstep via a food delivery service). My absolute favorite thing about being in the kitchen is trying out new gadgets, cookware, and storage containers! I'm SUPER organized in the kitchen (and everywhere else) and I have every gadget I could possibly need neatly and compactly tucked away until I need it. I share only the simplest recipes (which is great for people who don't like to cook), along with time-saving food tips and cooking tricks (that will save you time and money). When I'm not cooking, cleaning, or organizing my kitchen... you can find me at the corner of Good News & Fun Times as publisher of The Fun Times Guide (32 fun & helpful websites).

CurtisOne of my all-time favorite "hobbies" is cooking at home! I especially enjoy experimenting with new ingredients ...and different types of cookware. My specialties are foods that are diabetic-friendly, keto-friendly, and low-carb. I share my favorite recipes and cooking tips here at The Fun Times Guide to Food.
