Q IS FOR QUESTING
Julie & Julia offers the most recent example of an online culinary quest (in writer Julie Powell’s case, it’s the attempt to cook her way through Mastering the Art of French Cooking in a year), but there are at least two dozen other bloggers devoted to “cooking the books,” including several who are making their way through the Gourmet cookbook. Food questing also includes bloggers attempting to recreate recipes from their favorite restaurants and bakeries (City Bakery’s beloved chocolate chip cookies are a popular choice). And of course there are physical food quests, embodied by the likes of the Roadfood community, where a recent search for the best ice cream in New England is just the tip of the iceberg.
