David Leite, a former marketing exec who worked on Bill Clinton's 1992 Presidential campaign, is a Portuguese-American [whose family comes] from the Azores, and this delightful and elegantly designed site is a treasure trove of both superb food writing, ideas, and culinary history. Whether he's writing about his love for his native Azorean cuisine — read his Lost In The Atlantic for an excellent potted history of Azorean food — or his lust for a Viking range called Thor, Leite is witty, informative, and easy to read. There are mouthwatering recipes from all over the world ranging from Azorean sopa de couves (kale soup) to linzertorte, and a well-researched resources page of web links and suppliers.
