Culinate was the first foodie web-site I ever really fell in love with. The writing is crisp and personal, the photographs luscious, and the recipes practical and easy to follow. Until this summer, it was always my go-to site for a recipe. It was the first place I looked for ways to try out unfamiliar greens from my CSA or new ways to prepare old favorites. (That is slowly changing as I learn to cook "traditional" recipes with an emphasis on soaking and fermenting grains for maximum nutrition....but Culinate still rules for fruit and veggie info.)
They promote local, seasonal eating, the slow food movement, and social awareness of where our food comes from.
And most of the writers are based in the Northwest, so their idea of seasonal is in sync with our seasons!
The website is set up with social network features, and registered users can keep a food blog, maintain a recipe box, and keep up with a network of Culinate friends.
So I'm adding this old favorite to my links on the right, under the Real Food (etc.) header.
