Kitchens are hopping this summer - the food blogosphere is stuffed with delicious food and marvelous photos...

One of our new favorite blogs is Applemint - run by Kate. The lovely pics have us drooling, like these for her birthday cake, and the ones for this mango pudding and dal roti...

Jen at Milk and Cookies has a thing for cranberries going on, with these Cranberry Nut Breads and a batch of Chocolate and Craisin Checkerboards.

One of our favorites, Oswego Tea, does something rather unconventional and dares to make chicken pot pie in the summer. It looks deliciously fresh to us...

We love it when blogs cook through one cookbook, like in the now-famous Julie/Julia project. We've been following Cathy at My Little Kitchen's Mondays with Maida project for some time, reading with interest as she blogs and (and quite scientifically reviews!) all the cookies in one Maida Heatter book. Her latest are these Charlie Brown Peanut Cookies - a big winner.
