An essential part of my love and devotion to all things edible is more on a visual level than any other sensory experience. Fresh produce is gorgeous. Cooked dishes and baked goods are lovely. I am FAR more likely to attempt a tricky recipe if there’s a photo accompanying it just on the fact that I like the visual throwdown (see my ‘how to create food porn’ post here).
So this recipe / photo food collective site is PERFECT in this respect – skip obsessing over the cuisine, calorie count and ingredients — sometimes you just plain want to stimulate your belly through your eyeballs.

Good for: Scrolling through thousands of scrumptious food photos with links to the source

Oh wow, Katie, this website is my new favorite. Not only is it a place for me to learn how to take good pictures, but I’ve been directed back to so many awesome food blogs. Thanks so much for sharing this!
