The old saying about a picture and words works both ways, a good story can paint a vivid picture. <br /><br />I've got no critiques, but additional stuff that I might enjoy would include the historical recipes, some insight on the origins of common and uncommon ingredients and dishes, maybe some food history based in different cities and a few pictures are always fun.<br /><br />Keep up the great work!<br /><br />-PookPookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11378460336865118593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5972382455071656209.post-22376697378832227882010-10-13T15:29:38.391-07:002010-10-13T15:29:38.391-07:00You already have such a great niche, and a wonderf...You already have such a great niche, and a wonderful perspective - I say stick with what you're doing - it's fab!<br /><br />Though, I will put in a small plug for sharing some historical recipes :) We're a homeschooling family who incorporates food history into our regular history studies and love finding recipes for the time periods we're studying and the info behind them.

The main comments were to: stay on the same unique track,, post more frequently, and include historic recipes when appropriate. <br />A few people mentioned more pics, but I think they didn't scroll down to read my more "regular" posts. I used a lot of pics. <br />Happy blogging!<br />DebDeb Duchonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14551448584234460717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5972382455071656209.post-23203921178146602252010-09-12T18:16:57.895-07:002010-09-12T18:16:57.895-07:00I've taken some time to read through a few of ...I've taken some time to read through a few of your recent posts and I don't know that you need to do anything other than what you're doing. Your posts are full of information and while the posts with photos help to break up words in a lot of instances, your theme (yes, you are using a theme) seems to fit nicely. The site isn't cluttered which keeps it light and easy to read through the posts.<br /><br />Ok, time to go back to enjoying my comfortable, soft chair now that I'm home! :)Franhttp://frantasticfood.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5972382455071656209.post-52679113408186654292010-09-12T15:03:16.447-07:002010-09-12T15:03:16.447-07:00I enjoy your blog just the way it is.

I've always enjoyed seeing you on Good Eats and knowing that the information you're providing is historically and anthropologically accurate. I come to the blog for the same reason - there just aren't enough people out there doing what you do, and we need more. Of course, pictures and witticisms always help, but I think you should definitely keep doing what you're doing.life, in recipeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13107932033146054066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5972382455071656209.post-25378092560609916052010-09-12T12:29:51.045-07:002010-09-12T12:29:51.045-07:00I love the idea of historical recipes that maybe h...I love the idea of historical recipes that maybe haven't been in fashion for a long time, vetted as still being useful and delicious for modern cooks. I would read for that, most definitely. Especially with pictures!<br /><br />By the way, it was lovely speaking with you briefly at FBF. I thought it was a wonderful event.
