"sacramento bee" news and stories

There's an article in The Sacramento Bee that's been syndicated that says that food blogs are becoming popular! Of course, that's something we've known for a long time now, right?

The piece states that there are 48,000 bloggers right now, though doesn't really specify if that means there are 48,000 blogs or 48,000 people blogging (many blogs have several authors). And what is the big revelation in the piece? Readers read food blogs to get recipes, reviews, and ideas! Wow!

I often wonder why blogs are still seen as some alien concept. Some nice coverage for some good blogs though, including Chocolate and Zucchini and Cakegrrl (in the pic).

Our sister site Engadget gets some nice press in the piece, but Slashfood isn't even mentioned. I'm sure that's just a typo.

Today's Sacramento Bee features a profile of "tofu master" Alvin Kunishi, co-owner of the Sacramento Tofu Co. Kunishi talks about the complexity of texture and subtlety of taste that good tofu should have, much to the amazement of SacBee writer Bob Sylva. Convinced that tofu can be serious stuff, Sylva makes good by giving lots of history of small tofu producers in California, many of which have gone out of business in the presence of larger companies. There's also talk of artisan tofu makers, turning out things like lemongrass and chili infused tofu. A few tofu recipes are also included.
