Every Wednesday, we poke around the food blog world to see what’s simmering.
- Let's just get this shameless self-promotion bit out of the way up front: Read my eatin' travelogue of Portland, Oregon.
- Michael Dolich of Philly's Four Worlds Bakery shares an exhaustive list of every ingredient he uses for every one of his bready treats. Check citypaper.net/food later today for my profile of this mystical dough wrangler.
- Food Girl Friday Kelly White checks out the veggie options at the brand-new Privé in Old City. (We told you about it here, remember?)
- Frequent CP food contributor Amy Strauss has started her own blog: Apples and Cheese, Please. It's named after her Top 5 from October 2007.
- After a blogging hiatus, Wild Thyme Kitchen is back, reminding us that Ramadan is just as much about the grub as it is about the fast.
- Hot Knives guarantees I'll try their balla'naise recipe with this gem of a lead: "Talk about mangia, mangia, mangia, mannnn. On a recent herby Sunday afternoon, we popped a bomber of ale and picked some fresh basil and got the hankering for a sloppy trough of pasta."
- beXnlog takes a "mega Pick Your Own" trip to Highland Orchards in West Chester and shows us how to make jam!
