chezpim.typepad.com San Franciscobased blogger Pim Techamuanvivit started taking pictures in 2004 for a weeklong food diary on eGullet.org. Her shots included fried chicken from her office cafeteria, and, five days later, frog's legs in Strasbourg. Today, this former Silicon Valley executive takes photos that make us envy her experiences: a tuna tartare ringed with red pepper at Joël Robuchon at The Mansion in Las Vegas, fresh anchovies at a market on the Italian Riviera.
thefoodsection.com Josh Friedland, the director of communications for a New York City hospital by day, offers quirky ruminations on topics ranging from food in science fiction movies to Passover desserts. His photos are thoughtfully composed; take a look at his series of shots of blood oranges, first whole, then cut, then in a salad.
shewhoeats.blogspot.com Born and raised in Japan, Chika Yoshizaki started blogging as a way to keep in touch with friends and family while she was living in Hawaii. Now back in Japan, she uses the site to chronicle meals from her travels (a roasted tomato tart in Melbourne), kitchen adventures (sesame-sprinkled ginger cake with wasabi ganache) and the occasional culinary flop (overbaked fruitcake).
101cookbooks.com In 2003, photographer and cookbook author Heidi Swanson realized she had more cookbooks than she knew what to do with—at least 100, plus countless magazine recipes. She decided to cook, blog and photograph her way through them, and this site is the result. Check out the shots of her experiment with ice cream, flash-frozen using liquid nitrogen. —R.W.
