Fantastic list -- my only disappointment is no Ethiopian blog in the list (the first thing I looked for). posted by vers at 5:34 AM on November 8, 2011
I was familiar with a few of these but this is an impressive list and like snowysoul says, great procrastination tools. See also 'Eight Recipes that Rocked the Internet.' I'm never going to finish these documents. And the comments provide even more regional blogs for thought.
Seconding vers, where's the Ethiopian blog, I still can't get my damn teff injera to come out right. posted by shoesietart at 5:56 AM on November 8, 2011 [6 favorites]
This is great. I'm a huge fan of Eating in Translation which the author describes as "fascinating food in New York and occasionally farther afield." It's written by Dave Cook who occasionally contributes food stories to the New York Times and is remarkably unpretentious. posted by Drab_Parts at 5:57 AM on November 8, 2011
Wonderful! Thank you :) posted by pointystick at 6:38 AM on November 8, 2011
Very nice, but they didn't include any Caribbean blogs. Tsk!
I just discovered Green Kitchen Stories via their iPad app. What a stunning display of photography and simple recipes. I am in love! posted by Kitteh at 6:52 AM on November 8, 2011
The Korean food blog linked doesn't seem to have been updated since 2008.
There was this one, FatManSeoul, but sadly it's also defunct.
The others ones are, IMO, pretty awful if not downright mercenary (they review restaurants that they get comped at but fail to mention this). posted by bardic at 6:52 AM on November 8, 2011 [1 favorite]
Sigh. Some of these blogs haven't been updated in months, and in a few cases years. posted by slkinsey at 7:17 AM on November 8, 2011

This seems like a bit of a psychological, rather than a practical, problem. There's a ton of content there, even if it hasn't been "updated." Mastering the Art of French Cooking also hasn't been updated in years, but most folks recognize that the content that is there is more than sufficient for long immersion. posted by OmieWise at 7:55 AM on November 8, 2011 [5 favorites]
One of the greats is FXCuisine out of Switzerland, he has not updated in a few years, the archives are well worth it. posted by stbalbach at 8:39 AM on November 8, 2011 [1 favorite]
. . . is a book, not a blog. A blog implies someone keeping up with recent trends and so on. posted by bardic at 7:02 PM on November 8, 2011

Yes, as I said, this is a psychological problem. I understand that you have that distinction in your mind, but I'm not sure that web log implies "keeping up with recent trends" so much. If there's a lot of content, and it's good content, it doesn't really matter when it was last updated except insofar as you might want more of the good content. posted by OmieWise at 4:52 AM on November 9, 2011 [1 favorite]
… especially if it's a food or cooking blog. The recipes won't expire. posted by kenko at 8:20 PM on November 9, 2011

Couldn't you have posted this after the semester? Like Xmas week or so?
