How to Cook Like Your Grandmother is one of those blogs that does something that I really appreciate seeing because of how seldom it’s there to be seen. It goes out of it’s way to return to the older recipes and methods and literally do things the way it was done before the corporate world with it’s mass produced, homogenized, mochachino land turned most food into something that isn’t fit to eat.

The best description of How to Cook Like Your Grandmother is on the top of the sidebar of the blog:

Cooking used to be all about making food that tasted good. But somewhere along the way, we seem to have decided the diet-of-the-week was more important. How to Cook Like Your Grandmother is a return to recipes and techniques that are based on what tastes good, not on junk science and fad diets. You won’t find the words lite, low, lean, free or skim anywhere. This is all real food, cooked the way Grandma would have done it.

Of course, any mention of a good food blog wouldn’t be complete without a look at one of the recipes on it. How To Make Chili Sauce For Chili Dogs is a perfect seasonal recipe that looks good enough to make me think about making it with ground turkey. (I’d consider beef but the way beef prices have gone lately it’s not likely i’ll be around for the opening of any Johnston and Murphy wallets to shell out a small fortune for ground beef when turkey can be had for a LOT less.

Another thing I have to mention about this blog is that there’s a LOT of good pictures to make very clear what they’re talking about and showing you how things look at every step. I’m bookmarking this one and I’ll be back… soon.

Baking At King Arthur’s Hearth

It’s called Bakers Banter according to the heading at the top of the page and this blog from the folks at King Arthur flour is positively chock-full of every sort of baked goodies you can imagine.

I leaned of it when my wife sent me this Puff the Magic Pancake recipe on StumbleUpon. Frankly, I defy anyone to read that all the way through, check out the great pictures of the whole process of making it and still not at least WANT to run right out and make up a batch of ‘em!

I’ve never actually heard of King Arthur Flour before but I can say that I’ll be back to visit this blog again, anticipating more baked wonders.
