Ed Levine’s Serious Diet: Week 6, Are Flavor Intensifiers One of the Keys to Losing Weight?
Posted on 14 February 2008 under Diet Food | No Comments
I’m a flavor junkie. I don’t like muted, subtle flavors. I like rock ‘em, sock ‘em, kick-you-in-the-head flavors.

This originally was an experiment in food, photography and weblogging, combining three hobbies of mine. Since 2002, Food blogging has become a full time occupation for many, and the quality of some of them are stunning. Several years ago I was asked to judge the Food Blog awards, a very difficult task. In the photography category, I was only able to pick the winner but looking at every single photo posted by the finalist, and if any one of them was less than flawless, the blog was eliminated. The competition has only gotten tougher since then.
