Any of you out there run any food blogs?My friend Courtenay and I (Melissa) share a baking blog and I was just wondering if there are any other awesome New Zealand sites out there to check out. You can view ours at: http://www.bakingmakesthingsbetter.com/
I read Mrs Cake, too! Another interesting New Zealand one is Something Else to Eat - which seldom mentions cake.

The operative words in our posts, daleaway, are 'look' and 'read' ;)

You should read the text, elliehen, she's a very cheerful girl in a world where cheerfulness is often lacking. I loved her recent post about trying to find the best chocolate shops in Melbourne. Now that IS"news you can use".

"A recent blog entry from Mrs Cake says: "Though I love Indian food I think Great India is the only Indian food I've tried in Wellington (our own kitchen excluded). My favourite haunt in Christchurch was Taste of Bengal on Riccarton Road - I don't know it fared in the quakes - it was in a pretty old row of shops, and the lovely gentleman who ran it lived above with his family, so though I very much hope for the best I wouldn't be suprised if it's no longer there. Can any Christchurch people enlighten me? Where do you go when you want a good curry? "
Does anyone have the answer?

Melissa, your blog looks great!
Thanks Ellie (and everyone else) for the kind words! And I would really, really love to hear about Taste of Bengal if anyone is near Riccarton - though we'll be down at Easter so if I don't hear before I can check it out then.
One of my favourite NZ blogs is Lovely Wee Days, which is written by three lovely ladies: http://lovelyweedays.blogspot.com/ Also, there is a new NZ Food Bloggers Alliance (so we can keep track of each other!) and there are quite a few blogs listed on their site already: http://www.foodbloggersnz.com/members

Yeah it would, but you would have to boil the cans first to caramelise them.

I adore reading 'Sunday Hotpants' (strange name for a food blog I know, but it truly is lovely. A lady from Dunedin with 3 kids writes it and she takes the most beautiful photos. She lost her 9 yr old son unexpectedly and finds writing the blog helps fill the huge gap he left behind :( I'd highly recommend you check it out: http://sundayhotpants.nocturne.net.nz/

I started blogging aroud the end of last year and I love it. I find it's a good way to store recipes and keep family and friends updated on the comings and goings of family life. I'm not a very creative person but I LOVE to bake and I guess that is where any creativity I might have, comes out. The only problem is that I follow so many blogs that it can get a little confusing if I know I want to make a something I have seen but have no idea where. My blog can be found at www.itsallaboutfamilyandfood.blogspot.com
