I didn't think much about it until me and a friend were having a conversation about, yes you have guessed it Food when she used the term food porn. I laughed at first but then i realised she was right. I am guilty of buying and engaging in food porn.
Now before you make any judgments, look at your own lives. Are you guilty of buying a cookery book and never making anything from it? Do you watch Jamie Oliver with an unhealthy obsession? Or feel lslightly aroused watching Nigella lick the spoon?
Well fear not, it's time we stood up and admitted our secret. Its about having a healthy attitude to food and the more "research" we do the better our healthy diets can become.
Here are some of the food blos i follow.:
www.veggiesandme.com is a brilliant blog written by Megan and gives fantastic new, modern and tasty vegetarian recipes. (I am not a veggie myself but this collection of recipes will get even the most hardcore meateater salivating!
www.donalskehan.com. Donal is fantastic, he is Irish, young and his recipes are easy so if you are starting out and need to learn the basics or are looking for ideas to whip up a food treat for your mates then this is the place to find it!
Finally (and this is my best food porn website)
www.smittenkitchen.com I can say it enough but the food photograpy on this site is AMAZING!!! It will arouse even the laziest of cooks to try some of the recipes, or even to just salivate over them like me! It is written by Deb and her husband Alex. Deb is also a freelance photographer, hence the amazing photographs and boy does she have some talent. The food looks practically 3D, annoyingly so because I'm so tempted to reach out and touch it!
So now that we have confessed our sins, any guilt has melted away and we can continue to drool over french onion soup and death by chocolate photographs........ Don't feel ashamed, stand tall and admit you are a food porn addict like me?
Any one else share this guilt secret? Tell me your favourite food porn sites? books?
