Chez Pim is one of the brightest stars in the food blog firmament. It is a blog we read with enthusiasm and a certain sense of masochism. (This is because of the feeling of envy we invariably get when we read of her eating exploits.)Whether she is extolling the virtues of Manresa in California, describing her meal at The Fat Duck in the UK, revealing the new direction of the talented Yves Camdeborde's new bistro (Le Comptoir) or describing the futuristic food of Ferran Adria at El Bulli in Spain, she writes with enthusiasm and knowledge and lets us share her meal through her almost obsessive photography.But this is no mere dilettante's site. We were in complete agreement with her diatribe about the lack of quality and the environmental disaster that is manifested in tea bags. Having just visited the tea plantations behind Huangzhou in China and now enjoying the refined and elegant lightly roasted green teas from this region we can confirm that it is cheaper and more satisfying to buy leaf tea and brew it yourself rather than use those disgusting artefacts of the fast food era that should be called dust bags rather than tea bags.So we love Pim's writings and her perambulations even though she is too young and energetic for us to keep up with her or fully comprehend some of her more obscure allusions.We hope she keeps on blogging!http://chezpim.typepad.com/blogs/
