Every Wednesday this semester we will be posting about a new blog or cooking website that we love! The internet is filled with food websites, and our goal is to arm you with the “Best of the Food Web”!

If you love stunning pictures you have to check out Danielle’s blog Beyond the Plate. The goal of her blog is to document in pictures the path food takes from producers to consumers. My favorite part of this blog are her farmer and artisan profiles. Every Thursday Danielle does a post on a local farmer or artisan who takes a natural, sustainable approach to food production. The stories she presents on these individuals are just as beautiful as the pictures she takes. If you have free time, I highly encourage you to read some of them — especially if you are from Northern California where most of the individuals featured are from!

Some posts to get you started:

• Hain Ranch Organics
• Open Space Meats (Also has a Steak Frites recipe at the end of the post!)

The blog also has recipes that feature whole, natural ingredients that are perfect for bringing a simple elegance to your next meal.

• Simple Salmon
• Chicken Pot Pie
• Rhubarb and Fennel Crumble
