Cooking blogs are a great source of information because they are free and there are so many of them. They
are also nice because they give all different kinds of ideas. The problems with blogs is that because we don’t
know who is writing them, we need to use with caution. When you are looking at a new blog, you don’t know if
the writer knows what he or she is talking about.

We’d like to introduce two popular cooking blogs. The first is called Smitten Kitchen. This website is run by
