I’ve been wanting to start a blogroll for a while now. A blogroll is a list of links to other people’s blogs or websites that you like. I was going to post only chocolate blogs but there are many general food blogs that also have great chocolate recipes.
My Yummy Blogs blogroll is a list of the foodie blogs that I find myself continually returning to and seeing what delicious meals and desserts they are cooking or baking. Here’s a few that you may also find yummy. Check out the list in the right hand column periodically as it will grow.
Chocolate & Zucchini is one of the most poplular foodie blogs out there. Clotilde Dusoulier writes it while living in France and not only does she have great recipes but she provides a glimpse of life in France. Having visited the country and spending time with a friend whom now lives there permanently, it sometimes provides escape from your everyday life and romanticize about Paris and French living. Clotilde has also written a cookbook and a book on Paris restaurants and food shops.
Baking Bites as you can guess, is all about baking. Because the site contains mainly recipes, she has categorized the recipes so you can go directly to the chocolate category to check out the chocolate recipes.
Cinnamon Spice & Everything Nice has recipes that are both savoury and sweet. I posted a recipe recently for Italian Espresso Chocolate Brownies that came from her blog. It’s not a blog to go to if you are lactose intolerant, on a diet or searching for gluten free recipes. If you’ve passed these three challenges then welcome to food bliss and maybe a few extra pounds. Comfort food galore!
Garrett’s Table is a foodie blog by Garrett Kern who is currently studying culinary arts in Chicago. I enjoy his photography and he combines very different food flavours and textures like the Buttered Popcorn Ice Cream or the Chocolate Pasta with Raspberry Coulis and Grated White Chocolate. It makes you want to experiment with them just to try the unusual tastes for yourself.
The last one I’ll introduce you to is the Whole Foods Market blog. If you want to counter balance your eating with healthy recipes, organic goodness or you have food restrictions, then check out this blog. For sure, check out their recipe section on the website. They have great recipes and a great search function so if you are like me and have friends that have food restrictions, such as no dairy or no wheat, this is a great resource. The recipes I’ve tried have had great reviews and even my partner has eaten tofu with good results. That means it gets extra rating points if he actually likes it especially it being a No Tofu zone for him!
The internet is full of great blogs on chocolate, food and just about anything you can think of. I hope I’ve pointed you to some new blogs or ones that you may have forgotten about and now rediscovered. Happy eating!

What a clever post! So informative, and I love the way you end it with a way to counter balance with healthy recipes.
Thanks! It’s that ying and yang thing. Plus I can’t give up all the sinful calories.
