Hannah Hart makes a series of YouTube videos in which she experiments with cooking and recipes while employing humor. The series started in 2011 as something akin to comedy vlogs, which she started just as YouTubers were gaining popularity. They document Hart's adventures with cooking and alcohol. There are a variety of unique aspects of Hart's videos that make her stand out within the genre: improvisation with recipes, jump cuts between her work in the kitchen and talking into the camera as if she's speaking to an audience, and her liberal use of cheese puns. While the series is comprised of vlogs rather than blogs, I'd still like to model the humor and flexibility of her cooking style in my own piece.

The Food Network Blog is a highly varied food blog that posts daily articles from a variety of contributors. The topics have food as an overall subject but can vary from travel (The Best  Doughnuts from Coast to Coast), to Buzzfeed-type list compilations (5 Decadent Chocolate Desserts to Swoon Over), to recipes in article  and video forms (Giada’s Fettucini Alfredo video, only 5 minutes), to cooking advice (5 Sandwich Making Tips), and more. The blog seems to be aimed at anyone that is looking for ideas of what to eat or instructions in how to cook something. The versatility in subject matter and the layout for simple recipes is very useful: a picture of the end result with cooking time and yield at the top with ingredients and directions below in two columns.
