Blogging has become the new ‘it’ career for content creators who are seeing their hobbies turn into cash cows, as their websites begin garnering hits that rival those of top media outlets. The most popular food bloggers have become spokespeople for major brands, are hosting TV shows, and almost all of them seem to have a cookbook in the works. While most blogs are more likely to fade into obscurity than reach this level of success, every year a few new bloggers stand out from the masses. Here are my picks for the top new food blogs from the past 12 months. Keep an eye on these bloggers because it won’t be long before they’re showing off their skills on the Food Network or smiling at you from the covers of cookbooks…
