BTW, for a Christmas gift to wow your foodie friends, make them some of Alexandra’s rosemary shortbread. It’s sweet, savory, and deliciously herbaceous. I get recipe requests all the time.

I mainly use cookbooks and I have to follow the recipe EXACTLY if it’s not something I usually make. I love to look at food blogs too but I rarely make the stuff on them because it’s usually decadent desserts that I can’t justify making…because I would eat the whole thing. And for the record-a man that can cook=HOT!

I could not live without the gorgeous and delicious 101 cookbooks. I also have a carefully edited collection of cookbooks.

They’re Smitten Kitchen, Angel. She’s so fantastic and I’m blown away by the magic she can create in her tiny NYC kitchen.

Thanks for the links!

I go my own way, too. I don’t always love the end result but I learn something every time I make a mistake. Canelle et Vanille looks amazing. I want to go to her gluten-free dinner here in NYC in January!

Are those pictures from your kitchen? They remind me of how Smitten Kitchen’s photos look. I like http://www.101cookbooks.com and http://www.davidlebovitz.com

I love cookbooks (have too many of them!) but I also get a lot of inspiration from blogs. I also like Dinner A Love Story and Smitten Kitchen; a blog I’ve recently found is In Sock Monkey Slippers: http://www.insockmonkeyslippers.com/.

I am going to miss my favorite food magazine, Everyday Food!

Dinner A Love Story is my favorite, as well as, Eating From the Ground Up. I also have a stash of about 5 cookbooks that I rely on endlessly. Other than that, it is the above blogs and Pinterest that provide me with inspiration.

I love to take a consensus of what people are doing/ saying about the ingredient or dish I want to tackle. Then I go my own way, “winging it with input.” That said, I love to read food blogs just for fun, regardless of actually using the recipes. I love Canelle et Vanille because she takes me away to a very happy place.

Love Zoe bakes for delicious baked stuff. Everything I have tried has been great and she answers questions when you get stumped about how to do something.

I use a combination of blogs, websites, and cookbooks to satisfy my cooking passion. I recently discovered Michael Ruhlman and was given his latest book “Ruhlman’s Twenty” for my birthday. It’s a great compilation of twenty cooking essentials — ingredients and techniques — to improve your skills.

As for blogs, I’m currently in love with Farmette and Alexandra’s Kitchen:
