THE CHEF FROM HELL

Every Friday, we skim the cyber soup to find the top food related blog posts for your reading pleasure!

The mele cotte blog has been running a great series of posts on Christmas cookies which is a definite must-read!  My favorite cookie post was Twelve Days of Cookies-- Gingerbread Man; it really captures the spirit of the season-- the scent of baked cookies drifing around the house.  Ah, all seems right with the world, eh?

The spirit of Hannukah comes alive on the post punk kitchen blog with Happy Hannukah-- Eat Some Latkes For Me!

Another highlight of this season is seeing food bloggers across the world coming together to support Menu For Hope and the U.N. World Food Programme. The chez pim blog covers all of the relevant points in the post, What Is Menu For Hope? 

I've always been a fan of food history, so when I came across a post titled George Washington Story: Hercules the Slave Chef on the Super Chef blog, my curiousity was full tilt.  There's some fascinating info here about the chefs who worked the White House kitchens in the early years of its existence.  Check it out!

Susan over at the wonderful Food Blogga blog, has a post titled Waffles, Coffee & Lentil Soup which is nominated in the Well Fed Network's 2007 Food Blog Awards.  The post is a touching reflection on family and food; it illustrates some of the things I've blogged about myself-- the food traditions that live within our families bind us together forever.  If you'd like to vote for the Food Blogga blog in this awards category, go HERE!

Enjoy your weekend!
