Blogger No.12 The Food Nut

Gary, the blogger behind Exploits of a Food Nut is the final final challenger to accept the Olympic Food Challenge.  To be fair to Gary he was one of the first to agree to be involved, but he was the last name out of the hat when the draw took place.  Gary's exploits in food have seen him bake cakes and make his own bacon, but as a graduate in Food Science and Nutrition I'd expect nothing more.

Blogger No.11 Feast and Glory

Feast and Glory is the food blog of Sheffield foodie Clare.  Clare writes about the food she has cooked at home and meals in restaurants in Sheffield and beyond.  Along with a fellow Sheffield foodie, Ros, Clare has also created Appetite in an attempt to bring the people of Sheffield together through food.

Clare is the second of the two bloggers who could only agree to help out with a limited number of nations during the challenge.  I'm still very grateful that she's on board.

Blogger No.10 Food and Biscuits

Joe and Jo are the couple behind Food and Biscuits.  Until very recently it was a daily food blog charting the meals cooked by Jo(e) and included reviews of restaurants around Leeds.  After hitting their 365 post they have decided to take a deserved break from daily blogging but they are still writing about the food that excites them.  I hope the Olympic Food Challenge is exciting enough.

Blogger No.9 Come Dine With Rach

As you may expect, Come Dine With Rach is the food blog of Rachel.  Over the past year it has charted reviews of restaurants in Leeds, meals cooked at home, meal planning for the week ahead, and includes a wine of the week section.  Rachel was the first blogger to get behind The Olympic Food Challenge so I have a lot to thank her for.

Blogger No.8 366 Recipe Challenge

366 Recipe Challenge  is the food blog of Rebecca and charts her attempt at eating a new recipe every day for a year. Rebecca was one of the earliest to sign up for the Olympic food challenge as it fits in with her own blog so well.  Rebecca is already well over 200 new recipes into her own challenge in a valiant attempt to widen her families food horizons.

Blogger No.7 Really Nice Food

Really Nice Food (When "nice" food isn't enough) is the food blog of Rebecca.  Like me Rebecca shuns the term 'Foodie' in favour of a less prescriptive lover of food.  In case you were wondering, really nice food, is the food that excites you and tantalises your taste buds.  I hope there is plenty of excitement to come from the Olympic Food Challenge.
