David Lebovitz<\/a><\/h4>\n

When it comes to fine French foods and mouthwatering desserts and candies, our esteemed winner and celebrated pastry chef, David Lebovitz knows a thing or two. He started his exciting culinary blog way back in 2004 and it has grown in popularity and size dramatically in the past 10 years. Packed full of fabulous recipes, excerpts from his many cookery books and well, more food, this is one website that was designed to be enjoyed whilst drinking a strong espresso whilst fervently planning your next meal. We could have stayed here for hours, and who could blame us? With recipes for delights such as \u2018Marshmallow Cream Fudge\u2019 and \u2018Pear And Almond Tart\u2019 it was only our rumbling stomachs that caused us to leave. <\/p>\n[\/spb_text_block] [blank_spacer height=”30px” width=”1\/1″ el_position=”first last”] [spb_text_block pb_margin_bottom=”no” pb_border_bottom=”no” width=”1\/3″ el_position=”first”]\n

My Food Odyssey<\/a><\/h4>\n

Talking to chickens, long walks with dogs in the Lithuanian countryside and wonderful bloggy stuff all about food. This really is our kind of website and a worthy second place! When June, the founder of My Food Odyssey is not eating food, she is thinking about it, talking about it and seeking it out. She also loves to cook and will source local ingredients wherever possible. June\u2019s blog began as a diary of her camper van adventures across Europe and has now turned into a cornucopia of wonderful recipes that beg to be made, adored and enjoyed by all the family. There are some real culinary gems here such as \u2018Lithuanian Koldunai\u2019 and a wonderful \u2018Tomato And Lentil Soup\u2019 just perfect for using up this year\u2019s tomato harvest. <\/p>\n[\/spb_text_block] [blank_spacer height=”30px” width=”1\/1″ el_position=”first last”] [spb_text_block pb_margin_bottom=”no” pb_border_bottom=”no” width=”1\/3″ el_position=”first”]\n

La Cocina de Leslie<\/a><\/h4>\n

Hands up who loves Mexican food! For the record, we have both hands up. We can\u2019t get enough of tamales, nachos, burritos and all of that wonderful stuff going on south of the border. It\u2019s one of the reasons we chose La Cocina De Leslie (Mexican for Leslie\u2019s Kitchen in case you were wondering) for our 3rd place position. As the tagline on Leslie\u2019s website says this is a website that \u201ccelebrates food, family and life in Mexico.\u201d Before we visited Leslie\u2019s blog, we had no idea there were so many Mexican dishes available. You can forget the typical Tex-Mex dishes on offer in most local supermarkets or restaurants. Leslie has taken Mexican cooking to the next level with local specialties such as \u201cPineapple Empanadas,\u201d \u201cChilli Colorado\u201d and \u201c7-Up Pound Cake.\u201d<\/p>\n[\/spb_text_block] [blank_spacer height=”30px” width=”1\/1″ el_position=”first last”]\n[spb_text_block pb_margin_bottom=”no” pb_border_bottom=”no” el_class=”lightbluebg col-sm-10 col-sm-offset-1″ width=”1\/1″ el_position=”first last”]\n
