Review

From the very healthy Farro with Mushrooms and Asparagus to the very decadent Blueberry Compote Bread Pudding, this book has recipes that will please every kind of cook. It s also a wonderful, de facto guide to some of the best food blogs (and the bloggers who write them) out there.
James Oseland, editor in chief, "Saveur, " author of "Cradle of Flavor: Home Cooking from the Spice Islands of Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore"

Back when the Internet was being developed in the 60s and 70s, its creators probably never thought it would lead to a revolution in food writing and photography. But that s exactly what has happened: All over the world, food lovers are blogging about their experiences, sharing recipes, and creating an intimate community of cooking enthusiasts. All through this delightful cookbook, you ll see recipe after recipe that shows that community s diversity dishes from Russia, Israel, Spain, and Japan, as well as from all across the United States. Just as compelling are the stories that accompany the recipes a look into the lives of people who have made food and cooking a central part of a well-lived life.

Global delicacies

By M. K. Hutchison on November 3, 2010

Format: Paperback Verified Purchase

Our friends introduced us to this cooks' book and my husband and I liked it so much we rushed out and purchased it for our friends and family. It is a compilation by cooks about their love for food. It has an enjoyable global perspective as the contributor's are food bloggers from around the world. I am a vegetarian and found many recipes in all categories that I will be trying. The layout and production quality are great.

Good For Adventurous Cooks

By Books and Chocolate on February 5, 2011

Format: Paperback

Food blogs are among my favorites in the blogging community so it's fun to have a cookbook that not only showcases diverse recipes from bloggers around the world but also introduces the reader to them and their passion for cooking, courtesy of Foodista.com.

I have to confess that in my first look-through of this cookbook it seemed that I would have a hard time finding anything I'd actually try because I'm more drawn to down home recipes that use ingredients I can easily find locally and don't take a lot of time or money to prepare. (I'm not a food snob so I have no problem resorting to Hamburger Helper now and then.) But, as I read through the book a second time I did find several recipes that would fit with my family's tastes while not breaking my food budget or require detective work to find certain ingredients in the rural community in which I live.

The recipes run the gamut of unusual offerings such as Bacon Caramels (yes, caramel candy with bacon), Salmon Head Soup, and Homemade Tagliatelle with Wild Boar Stew and a few other dishes I didn't recognize, to those I will actually try such as Ancient Grains Bread, Cranberry Crumb Bars, Triple Citrus Cake, and Baked Lentil Cheeseburgers. I did make the Chicken and White Bean Chili, omitting the ground and fresh coriander because I didn't have any on hand, and substituting frozen diced green peppers for the fresh with good results.

This is a cookbook for more adventurous cooks who like to try new recipes with an exotic or international flair, but the directions seem clear enough for a novice cook to navigate. I think the main challenge may be finding some of the ingredients if one doesn't have easy access to specialty markets.

Captures the Diversity of the Food Blogging Community

By Stephanie on October 13, 2010

Format: Paperback Verified Purchase

Foodista's first cookbook truly captures the diversity of the food blogging community. I particularly enjoyed the photos and personal headnotes that accompany each recipe. The recipes are innovative and the Dessert section is mouthwatering. First on my list is to make the Berry and Ricotta Danishes and the Spicy Pumpkin Carrot Muffins.

Great Idea, Wonderful Recipes

By Keren Brown on June 28, 2011

Format: Paperback

I love the idea of this book. It's great to see lots of my friends who are bloggers on the pages here and recipes by bloggers are ones that you can usually trust. I know the bloggers take a lot of responsibility for their recipes and I like that each entered their favorites for the contest. I almost find it overwhelming how many recipes I want to try in the book. I also enjoy the fact that there is such a range of recipes, so this is a great gift for people trying to explore new food options.

Of course if you like to read blogs, you will find a beautiful list of bloggers to follow. A great gift!

Interesting Concept

By Katherine Kwan on December 5, 2010

Format: Paperback Verified Purchase

I got this book because I have a food blog and was interested in seeing a printed version of content originally made for the web. There are some good recipes but way the book was designed is not conducive to really want to get into the information. It's a good book but definitely not my go-to.
