culinary literature

i love to read about food. i think it's an art to write about cooking and food. how does one go about describing something like the first bite of a smooth chocolate mousse for example?

I sure can't. that's why i turn to people like Nigel Slater (The Observer's Food Monthly, among others) and occasionally Jeffrey Steingarten (Vogue's food writer) to tempt me and conjure up the most sublime images.

The New York Times also has a pretty darn tasty food section, with an occasional write up by the 'domestic goddess' herself Nigella Lawson.

And the London Times carries articles by sardonic restaurant reviewer Giles Coren and jamie oliver's old stuff. well at least it did. not to say that everything is gone, rather, you'll have to pay for it becos of their switch to the e-paper version. so there goes that.

San Francisco Gate is not too bad either, plus it's free.

im sure there's lots more stuff out there that i haven't mentioned. let me know what else.
