About The Bitten Word

Claycard-crop Zachcard-crop  

Hi there!

Thanks for stopping by TheBittenWord.com!

We're Zach and Clay, and we cook recipes from monthly food magazines.

 

 

 

How can you read our posts?

Besides reading them here on the site, of course, you can get them via email or via a RSS feed if you're into that. 

You can also become a fan of the blog on Facebook. We publish links to new posts to the Facebook page, so you'll get them in your feed. You can also follow us on Twitter, where we update more frequently about important things like what we're having for dinner or what we're watching on TV.

Even more things you may or may not like to know:

Number 1 We live and eat in Washington, D.C., where Zach is a journalist and Clay works for a nonprofit. We got married in 2010. There are a few interviews with us online, including one from Gourmet Live and another from Washingtonian Magazine. A few more recent interviews are up on Front & Main and the PBS Food Blog. 

 

Number 2 We've been blogging since 2008. We started the blog as part of new years resolution after being inspired by this post on Serious Eats. We resolved to start putting our food magazines to work, cooking at least one recipe from each magazine. Our current stable of magazines includes Bon Appétit, Cook's Country, Cook's Illustrated, Everyday Food, Food & Wine, Fine Cooking, Food Network Magazine, Martha Stewart Living and Saveur. On occassion, recipes from other magazines sneak in, too. 

 

Number 3

Yes, we still miss Gourmet. Thinking about it makes us feel like we need a hug. 

 

 

Number 4 Some people like us! We've been terribly flattered by praise the blog has been given by others. The Bitten Word was named in 2009 by The London Times as "one of 50 of the world's best food blogs."  It's also been featured as a Saveur.com "Best of the Web" and on Tastespotting.com (which is actually a really interesting way to view our archive). We've also been featured in the Washington Post and in Molly O'Neill's book, One Big Table.

 

Number 5 We love you! Seriously, the best part of blogging is hearing from readers. Email us if you ever have a question about anything, or there's a particular dish you'd like to see us try, or if you just want to chat about Mad Men or something.

 

Number 6

 

We love when you use our photos! Just ask us first.

 

Number 7 Sometimes our recipes don't work. Seriously!  Sometimes we screw up, and sometimes we just don't like how a dish turns out. But we promise to let you know either way.

 

Number 8 Clay hates dill. And Zach doesn't like mushrooms. Other than that, we like just about everything. (And we're working on the dill and mushrooms.)

 


Some things you might want to check out:

* This is an amazing chocolate cake.  

* Sometimes we write our own recipes. 

* Clay is obsessed with this Golden Beet Salad.
