I’m always on the lookout for new recipes to try out online, especially those that are highly rated by other foodies who’ve had a go at them.

These 20 most popular recipes of 2007 from Bon Appétit are sure to be added to my recipe collection. I can’t wait to try out the Chocolate Panna Cotta Layer Cake! It looks absolutely scrumptious! *DROOL*

I think you would all agree that my recipe posts are missing some photos. I’m hoping that will change with my recently acquired Canon PowerShot SD870IS, which should make taking pictures of the food I cook less of a chore. One thing I would definitely need is some lessons on food photography.

I chanced upon Still Life With… while reading Slashfood. Photographer/writer Lara Ferroni posts some great stuff on how she captures the shots and the equipment she uses. Great for budding food photographers!

This website is great for cooks like me who are looking to improve their skills in the kitchen. The site offers online instructional cooking videos that walk you step by step through each recipe.

I’ve just signed up for the free trial, will keep you posted on how the site performs. But in the meantime, I think this site is definitely worth a try.
