I absolutely adore The eGullet Society for Culinary Arts and Letters. I love their site overall - it's a bit to food and drink what FT is to travel and it has a great sense of community and fun, but lots of knowledgeable cooks (some are pros). Forums, recipes, news, discussion of cooking, dining, wine, beer, cocktails etc.

A special treat there is their weekly food blog, which features a different cook or food aficionado (and often a different region) each week. I especially love the tradition of starting off with photos of the cook's fridge contents or kitchen details (spice pantry, for example). Many people will detail where they shop and what they look for (often with photos).

Here is this week's blog from Nova Scotia, last week's from Malaysia and the index of previous blogs going back to 2003. One I just started reading is a week of cooking/dining in Moscow and of course, features some borscht!!! (Readers of the thread on borscht might like to compare notes? )

I can almost guarantee you will spend some hours reading these once you start! Please tell me if I am right or wrong!

And I apologize if I start you on another addiction.....

Edited to add:

One of the ongoing threads that cracks me up is the Anti-Dinner thread, where people describe and often photograph, those meals that just didn't turn out quite like they were supposed to.

Just had to add a couple more blogs from eGullet. These are both from Israel, one features a Shabbat dinner and the other Hannukah. The second one was written at the same time as Dovster's FT Scoops the World thread was happening here on FT. Wonderful details and photos.
