While she’s not entirely vegetarian, Donofrio espouses food writer Michael Pollan’s philosophy of “Eat food, mostly plants, not too much,” she says on her website.
Editors at Saveur, however, were more smitten by i am a food blog written by Stephanie Le, who divides her time between Vancouver and Japan. Recipes are inspired by favourite dishes at restaurants or leftovers.
Currently, recipes include lemongrass pork meatballs and quinoa, steak and egg sandwich and miso coconut chicken.
Le’s blog was also featured as a blogger spotlight over at Food & Wine magazine.
