Highlights: Year End Lists

Published on January 2, 2011 By Emily. Updated on January 2, 2011

A friend of mine recently posted the following as her facebook status:

“I am such a sucker for end of the year “top” lists…i just can’t explain it.”

Well, she’s not the only one.  This week I’m sharing a few of the many “best of the year” lists that have appeared in my reader over the past few weeks.

This site has an amazing collection of 2010-related lists.  So many that I probably don’t need to make my own list, except that only a handful are food related.  Impressive, nonetheless, especially if you’re looking for a way to kill a couple hours of your time (assuming, of course, that your #1 resolution isn’t to stop wasting time).

There were a lot of “Best Cookbooks of 2010” lists: David Lebovitz, Epicurious, Huffington Post, The Daily Beast, NY Times, Serious Eats, Grist (technically “favorite food books”, but some cookbooks made the list).  I either need to stop getting new cookbooks or buy a bigger bookshelf…I’m leaning towards the bookshelf.

This is even more up my alley: Huffington Post’s Best Blogs-to-Cookbooks of 2010.  There are no plans for a Relishments cookbook, so I probably won’t make the 2011 list, but you never know :)

From Grist, the Top 10 Scary Foods of 2010.  I could rail on the issues of the current food system, but I think this list speaks pretty well for itself.

The Biggest Food Politics Stories, according to Slashfood.  A definite mix of good and bad.

Fear not, it’s not all bad news:  Change.org has a list of the 6 Biggest Sustainable Food Victories of 2010.

The Food Channel (via Slashfood) and Epicurious both have posts looking ahead to 2011’s food trends.

Anthony Bourdain’s favorite and least favorite things of 2010, including books, movies and ingredients.  I could watch Anthony Bourdain’s No Reservations for the rest of my life and be content to not watch much else, I think.

From the non-food realm:

The year in photos and the year in ideas (via kottke.org).

Finally, Success Your Way posted a really impressive list of 111 New Years Resolutions and Tools to Make Them a Reality.  Well worth a look, if you’ve made any resolutions for 2011.

    […] What better way to start 2012 than by looking at superlatives for 2011?  As I mentioned in last year’s collection of end of year lists, I love these things.  It’s no secret that I love lists in general, but I especially enjoy […]

For the fourth year, I've recapped the best new (to me) recipes I made this year in the hope that they'll give you some new dishes to try. This year's list is short, but delicious. It includes @budgetbytes My Favorite Recipes of 2022
Published on December 30, 2022 By Emily. Updated on December 30, 2022

It’s hard to believe that 2022 is basically behind us. Though overall this year found me getting back to the person I want to be (post-babies and “post”-pandemic), I did not try nearly as many new recipes this year as I used to. In fact, I was pleasantly surprised to see that I’d made note of any new-to-me recipes I wanted to share in this post. This year’s list is short, but delicious. It includes recipes from @budgetbytes, @smittenkitchen and @howsweeteats.

@coastalmainebotanicalgardens continues to be one @coastalmainebotanicalgardens continues to be one of the highlights of all my return trips to Boothbay and their annual Gardens Aglow event continues to impress. It was great to be back to walking the gardens instead of the pandemic drive through and there seemed to be more lights than ever.  I'm already looking forward to next year.

Fall in the Berkshires is always incredible, but t Fall in the Berkshires is always incredible, but this year we've had weather that has also been outstanding. The past 2 weekends have included time at Jaeschke Orchards, the Greylock Glen, and the Ashuwillticook Rail Trail as well as stopping to photograph any random foliage I see. 
Check out the last slide for video of some feathered friends we saw on a walk.

@freshgrassfestival continues to be one of my favo @freshgrassfestival continues to be one of my favorite events each year, and it doesn't hurt that it's just minutes away from home. Enjoying the festival with my kids is definitely a different experience than without, but it's still a good time. The weather was especially cooperative today which was great for all the laps I did around the @massmoca campus pushing a stroller. I'm already looking forward to next year.
