Food Lovers Everywhere!

... and CPE1/AC2.1 students in particular!

Check out this amazing blog written by a Bangkok-born San Fransiscan who travels the world, and, um… eats! And takes photos of the meals and puts them on her blog. The blog has had some excellent reviews for its quality, eg, “Jay Rayner on Chez Pim: "She's very funny, has exquisite taste", The Guardian, Feb 25, 2005” http://chezpim.typepad.com/

Other food blogs featured in the same ‘The Week’ article:

http://www.101cookbooks.com

http://www.chocolateandzucchini.com

I particularly liked the noodle pie with its photos of Vietnam.

Bon appetite!
