Phooey on you, Faith, for giving us free-range on selecting our favorite posts of 2009. It’s just impossible! With close to 4,000 posts this year, I am in awe of what the fine writers of The Kitchn have achieved.
I started this site in 2005, chugging out a few posts a day on my own, with the hopes of writing enough about cooking in a tantalizing and accessible way to inspire people to cook more at home. Four years later we have eleven talented people dishing up recipes, tips, news and inspiration to the tune of over fifteen posts a day. Each of these writers brings their own special flavor to the site and so it was with those individual attributes in mind that I selected my favorite posts; one for each writer, exemplifying what I see as their unique takes on the original mission of The Kitchn.
Happy New Year!
