DMBLGIT October 2009 – The Winners

I was very very excited to announce this first time hosting of this wonderful event here on my humble food blog earlier this month.

My excitement has not diminished ever since and every time I found an entry in my mailbox I got even more excited again. It was really fun to look at all your wonderful food photography and made me want to learn how to make such gorgeous pics myself. Oh I will need a lot of more practice I think…

You can see all the wonderful, mouthwatering entries here or at the online gallery:

We had a total of 39 entries this month. All of them were great and you sure should go visit each and every one to meet the lovely blogs behind and find some treasure recipes or maybe new favourite blogs!
