" &lt;p&gt;\"When you own over 100 cookbooks, it is time to stop buying, and start cooking,\" writes Heidi Swanson of 101 Cookbooks. She began her blog to chronicle her attempt to cook through her cookbook collection; now she draws her recipes from a wider range of sources (and often includes original creations), but they are always focused on natural, whole foods and ingredients. This&lt;a href=\"http://www.101cookbooks.com/archives/ginger-jeweled-salad-recipe.html\" target=\"_blank\"&gt; Gingered Jeweled Salad&lt;/a&gt; is a perfect example of a refreshing course that will lighten up any holiday feast or buffet.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Since moving to Paris in 2002, pastry chef and cookbook author David Lebovitz has been writing about \"living the sweet life in Paris\" on his blog, davidlebovitz.com. He describes his &lt;a href=\"http://www.davidlebovitz.com/2008/11/milk-chocolate-and-black-pepper/\" target=\"_blank\"&gt;Milk Chocolate and Black Pepper Ice Cream&lt;/a&gt;, adapted from his ice cream book, &lt;em&gt;The Perfect Scoop&lt;/em&gt;, as \"a truly fantastic flavor combination: The spicy zip of the black pepper was a great foil to the creamy-smooth milk chocolate.\" Served alongside gingerbread or pumpkin pie, he adds, this ice cream is a great way to sneak a little extra chocolate onto your holiday table.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;\"This is a site for people who like to get their hands dirty while they cook,\" announces The Kitchn's mission statement. Run by Apartment Therapy, the Kitchn blog brings recipes, kitchen tours, and shopping guides straight to your inbox. Editor and writer &lt;a href=\"http://www.thekitchn.com/recipe-big-pancake-dutch-baby-recipes-from-the-kitchn-5232\" target=\"_blank\"&gt;Sara Kate's Big Pancake&lt;/a&gt; is easy to prepare, but with a \"high wow-factor presentation\"\u2014perfect for brunch on Christmas Day.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The word junta\u2014from the Spanish &lt;em&gt;juntar&lt;/em&gt; (\"to join\")\u2014refers to a community of revolutionaries. Ten months ago, Kevin and Claire\u2014two Yale grads fresh out of college\u2014launched their own community with their blog, Food Junta. We love the range of post topics: from a call-to-arms passage of William Shakespeare to \"Boot Camp,\" a back-to-basics series focusing on post-college staples like quesadillas.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Recipe: &lt;a href=\"http://foodjunta.wordpress.com/2008/12/04/tempura-fritto-misto-with-lemon-aioli-and-japanese-dipping-sauce/\" target=\"_blank\"&gt;Tempura Fritto Misto with Lemon Aioli and Japanese Dipping Sauce&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Self-described as \"a man obsessed with food, drink, and everything in between,\" Matt of Matt Bites writes with humility and charm about everything from Vietnamese cinnamon to \"Matt's Anything Inside a Tortilla Test.\" His &lt;a href=\"http://mattbites.com/2008/12/03/capirotada/\" target=\"_blank\"&gt;&lt;em&gt;capirotada&lt;/em&gt;\u2014Mexican bread pudding&lt;/a&gt;\u2014combines sharp cheddar cheese with &lt;em&gt;piloncillos&lt;/em&gt; (cone-shaped sugar available at Latin markets) for a tasty sweet-savory result.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Nicole from Pinch My Salt spent four years stationed in Sicily at a U.S. Navy base with her husband\u2014an experience she says inspired her to start her blog. \"I have always loved to cook, but the sights, sounds, and tastes of Sicily inspired me in ways I never could have imagined.\" We love Pinch My Salt's clean, step-by-step recipe photos, which make the blog ultra-user-friendly.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Recipe: &lt;a title=\"Butternut Squash and Sweet Potato Gratin with Manchego Cheese\" href=\"http://pinchmysalt.com/butternut-squash-and-sweet-potato-gratin-recipe/\" target=\"_blank\"&gt;Butternut Squash and Sweet Potato Gratin with Manchego Cheese&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The Paupered Chef could also be called \"Adventures in Crazy-Ambitious Food Googling.\" True food fantatics, Nick and Blake endeavor to track down the perfect version of every craving. We love their epic hunts\u2014like the search for lamb intestines to make sausage from scratch or a mission to find Rome's best slice of pizza bianca.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Recipe:\u00A0&lt;a href=\"http://www.thepauperedchef.com/2008/12/ggs-coffee-cake.html\" target=\"_blank\"&gt;GG's Coffee Cake&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;We love YumSugar\u20141 of 16 distinct lifestyle sites in the Sugar Network\u2014for its witty voice and conversational tone. And we love seeing YumSugar's take on one of our very own recipes: &lt;a title=\"Piquillo Pepper Cheese Crostini\" href=\"http://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/piquillo-pepper-cheese-crostini\" target=\"_blank\"&gt;Piquillo Pepper Cheese Crostini&lt;/a&gt; from December 2008.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Recipe:\u00A0&lt;a href=\"http://www.popsugar.com/food/Red-Pepper-Cheese-Crostini-Easy-Fast-Delicious-App-2540595\" target=\"_blank\"&gt;Red Pepper Cheese Crostini\u00A0&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;We wish we had as much restraint as Cathy of Not Eating Out in New York, who\u2014as the blog's name implies\u2014didn't eat out for two years, despite living in one of the major food capitals of the world. Instead she explored the world of home cooking, and shared her experience on her blog. She's back to dining out, but she's still cooking great food at home, like this Asian-influenced dish, part of her Not-So-Strange Birds series.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Recipe:\u00A0&lt;a href=\"http://noteatingoutinny.com/2008/12/03/not-so-strange-birds-part-iii-cranberry-thai-curry-glazed-duck-breast-with-coconut-mashed-potatoes/\" target=\"_blank\"&gt;Cranberry Thai Curry Duck Breast with Coconut Mashed Potatoes&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Twenty-nine-year-old Clotilde Dusoulier launched Chocolate &amp;amp; Zucchini from her home in Paris in September 2003 as \"an outlet for someone who feared her friends might tire of hearing about what she cooked/ate/baked/bought, though they didn't seem to have a problem with being fed dinner.\" For our part, we will never tire of Clotilde's musings on Parisian food culture, French idioms, and inventive recipes like this &lt;a href=\"http://chocolateandzucchini.com/recipes/vegetables-grains/saffron-roasted-cauliflower-recipe/\" target=\"_blank\"&gt;Saffron Roasted Cauliflower. &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
