Food Sections Worth the Read

Newspapers can have amazing food sections. While the larger papers have amazing recipes and spotlights on trendy city restaurants, local papers aren't something to be ignored.

My favorite food section would have to be The New York Times' section. Mark Bittman's blog, Bitten, is really good with a lot of great recipes and interesting personal stories related to food.

Recently, having combed through much of the NYT's food section, I looked around for other good ones. On a whim, I decided to look at the Los Angeles Times' section and there was a phenomenal guide to buying fresh produce at the market. It included the regulars, like carrots and berries, but it also featured produce like figs and zucchini flowers. In total, there were 32 types of produce featured. Not too shabby.

And of course, I love my hometown newspaper's food section. The Columbia Daily Tribune always has tasty, simple recipes. Featured this week are turmeric and curry powder, corn and eating well in the recession.
