Great list and thanks for putting food bloggers right up there!
I’ve just put a piece out that looks to the next inflluence as a focus on produce. That often means fresh local and seasonal, including the movement to buying fresh such as farmers’ markets, and growing fresh at home, and as we’re seeing in Australia, a number of urban communty gardens are being established.
Really pleased to see home cooks feature too, because all the watching of TV shows, and reading of cookbooks, and celebrity status of chefs doesn’t mean anything if we all keep buying processed foods, and don’t get back to cooking with love for family and friends.
