I’ve received 2 tag awards this week and I couldn’t be any more pleased! Very flattered and more determined now. There are just tonnes of wicked blogs out there I can hardly compete with and it’s a great joy to read them for tips, things you never knew and of course, the photos. Although I hardly ever have time to blog hop as much I want to (now that the exams are in a week’s time I have even less time), I’m beginning to bookmark more to expand my reading and know more about the different cuisines around the world.

From the lovely Farida of azcookbook I have been tagged You Make My Day Award. Sends me very heart aflutter thinking that my blog has made someone’s day and so I now pass this award on to 5 other fellow foodies and hope they too will share with the world 5 food blogs they constantly go back to for a little pick-me-up now and again.
Here are the 5 I loyally support. These guys come out with the best recipes, from the simple to the decadently gorgeous:
1) Kevin of Closet Cooking
2) Aran of Cannelle et Vanille
3) Indigo of Happy Love Strawberry
4) Lauren of Parsnips Aplenty
5) Hélène of La cuisine d’Hélène

Next award was from Pixie of You say Tomahto, I say Tomayto. I’m still quite a new reader at her blog but she’s got some great stuff going on there. She’s also starting on a new baking blog which will be ploughing through baking disasters, etc. Especially excited about that so do check her out! Here is how blogs are selected for this:
You select 5 blogs that you feel excel in creativity, design, interesting material, and also contribute to the blogging community, no matter what language.
Just so many blogs are running through my head right now and I’m finding it a right problem to select only 5. Also, it’s rather daunting to put 5 down since some of these blogs I’ve hardly ever commented on. Nonetheless, I’m tagging 5 blogs that I find are absolutely wonderful blogs — pretty, creative and never a bore to read (not that there are any really but I had to choose my 5 favourite!). Thank you for constantly posting all the interesting posts that you do because I learn so much from them.
1) Medena of Café Chocolada
2) Matt of Wrightfood
3) Erin of The Skinny Gourmet
4) Elle of Elle’s New England Kitchen
5) Canarygirl of Canary Girl
