As with every week, last week was a good week for food focused chatter.
<p style="text-align:center;"><img style="border:0 none;" src="http://www.remain-silent.com/cm/blogships/WE022711.jpg" alt="best food stuffs on the blogosphere for 022011-022711" width="450" height="880" /></p>

It's funny just how often the subject of food comes up in any given week. It's even funnier how often friends give me knowing glances when I am around a conversation that has to do with food, it seems my craven reputation precedes me. The most interesting conversation I found recurring this past week was regarding cooking meals from scratch for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Working from home, I have the luxury to be able to do so. Every day a fresh brekkie, lunch and dinner { and pudding } are served with left overs lasting maybe a day or two at best. I like it that way, call me a control freak, but I like to know what goes into what I eat.

A friend of mine reckons that when I get married and have kids my penchant for cooking every day will quickly fade...I certainly hope not, it's what my mum did, what her mum did and what I love and plan to keep doing. No fast food dinners in this house!!

A round up of some of the nicest food focused blog posts on some of my favourite blogs from the past week are as follows:

1. <a href="http://deargolden.blogspot.com/2011/02/suno-perfect-prints.html">Dear golden</a> featured some gorgeous pieces from the Suno collection. This specific dress reminded me of an apron; a really gorgeous-guests are coming over but i'm still in the kitchen and have to look polished - sorta apron. I know i'd wear it.

2. <a href="http://kindboutique.com/blog/2011/02/22/rawtella">Kind Boutique</a> may have just made my { and my vegan friends } week with this post about Rawtella. What's Rawtella you ask? It contains only 3 organic ingredients: cocoa, hazelnut, and coconut sugar. I cannot wait to try this, and will be checking online for vendors asap!

3. <a href="http://fabricofmylife.co.uk/2011/02/23/two-by-two/">Fabric of my life</a>, shared the '<a href="http://bethandcarissa.blogspot.com/">two</a>' project with us: two people, with two photographs, one post a week, one theme each month. The result is a diptych that is intriguing and often inevitably populated with food. Having just started in January, the project is in it's infancy, but I for one will be keeping an eye on <a href="http://bethandcarissa.blogspot.com/">it</a>.

4. <a href="http://thebedlamofbeefy.blogspot.com/2011/02/sweet-dreams-made-of-these.html">Bedlam of Beefy</a> - an amazing black kitchen that doesn't allow itself to be defined solely by it's shade. From an uber-glam reflective back-splash to an impressive art piece above the sink. It's a space worth a second, third or more look!

5. Lucy at <a href="http://thedesignfiles.net/2011/02/interview-katie-quinn-davies/">Design Files</a> interviewed the inimitable Katie Quinn Davies. If you have looked at any food blogs in the past couple of years you will likely be familiar with <a href="http://www.whatkatieate.blogspot.com/">Katie's work</a>. Her images have a vibrancy and quality that is insatiable and I get the impression she is the kind of person with whom you could quite easily shoot the breeze. Her story { and food pics } are amazing, so check out the <a href="http://thedesignfiles.net/2011/02/interview-katie-quinn-davies">interview</a>! Well worth a read!
