A while back I foretold a grim future where bloggers would be hired up by major media players. That future is this afternoon. I’ve just started work on Special Broadcasting Service’s new (as yet untitled) world food blog. The site is still a bit shaky – no commenting/trackbacks/RSS yet – but it’s a start on the weird geometry where the line between journalist and blogger ceases to be meaningful.
This week, I cook lamb mechoui from the Food Safari back catalogue and conjecture on the size of Maeve O’Meara’s hands.
Addendum (10 May 2008): Comments are on, no RSS, social sharing buttons still a bit patchy.

Thit Heo Kho (Vietnamese pork) – absolutely sensational and easy to follow once you get your hands on the young coconut!
I’ve yet to pull the rendang images together, and Tiffany Wong’s Hainanese Chicken Rice is still on the “to do” list.
I think doing this is a wonderful idea. The recipes are mostly from the home cook, so are more approachable than the chef shows. Now if only you could stop Maeve from doing THAT groan as she samples each dish!
p.s. i tried to stumble the sbs food blog and it says that it is an invalid URL???
something for your technical people!
As I said, it’s a bit shaky. I don’t look after the technical side, just the content.
Apologies – just thought you might like to know.
Nice Phil, well done.
I wonder what style the fourth bbq might be?
It’s a great idea.
Any chance you could do something about Maeve’s shirts?

You didn’t mention the rotisserie. What else is lurking in your cupboards? Good to see you again Monday. It ended messy.
