In the past, getting recipes and cooking tips was a complicated process. A person had to go to the

store and buy a cook book, or get recipes from friends. Fortunately, the Internet has changed all that.

Now, if you want to find a recipe for lasagne or Cobb salad, you just search online. It couldn’t be

simpler.

Cooking blogs are a great source of information because they are free and there are so many of

them. They are also nice because they give all different kinds of ideas. The problems with blogs is

that because we don’t know who is writing them, we need to use with caution. When you are

looking at a new blog, you don’t know if the writer knows what he or she is talking about.

We’d like to introduce two popular cooking blogs. The first is called Smitten Kitchen. This

website is run by a family living in New York City. It focuses on food that doesn’t require many

ingredients. If you want to make food that is simple but wonderful, then this is the site for you. It

offers hundreds and hundreds of recipes, divided into categories. You will be amazed at how many

there are.

Wednesday Chef is another great cooking blog. It is run by a writer who lives in Berlin. This blog

also offers many recipes, along with recommendations for great restaurants in Berlin, and advice for

people who want to start their own blogs. Wednesday Chef has great pictures of its food, as well as

interesting pictures of Berlin. The blog got its name because in the past, newspapers published their

food articles on Wednesdays.

There are a lot of cooking blogs on the Internet, and most of them are pretty good. Go online and

check some of them out. You might be surprised at how much they can help you improve your

cooking.
