Lucy's Kitchen Notebook

[racheld]

Our own member bleudavergne's Lucy's Kitchen Notebook has been nominated by the Well Fed Network for Blog of the Year in two categories: City and Writing.

Those of us who follow her writings daily can attest to the beautiful, interesting, informative stuff that she so effortlessly puts onto the page, with some of the most ethereal and captivating photography anywhere.

She's in a Top-Five runoff, and the deadline for voting is Tuesday, January 9.

You can go to any of her posts and click on the Lucy's Kitchen Notebook topic at the bottom; the January 5th entry A Bowl of Scorpions tells about the nominations, and will link to the ballot site.

If anyone will make a direct link to her blog, please do so---I'm still learning how to navigate all the sites.

We're very fortunate to have Lucy as an eGullet member, and her gifts are outstanding. The welcome into her home is gracious and charming, and accompanying her on her daily travels through Lyon is a wonderful experience.

If you've never read her blog, you're in for a lovely treat---I look forward to her insightful and beautiful prose and photographs every day. There's a consideration for the food, the places, the people; a studied contemplation of the day, the light and the flavors encompasses the curve of a lemon, the green of an olive, with weight given to their respective attributes. Nothing is wasted here, no food, no moment, no slice of light across the tablecloth, and the full enjoyment of every sense is fulfilled through the words and pictures.

This is a one-of-a-kind work in progress, and it's too good to miss.
