Every week we pull together a round of links full of interesting food, blogging and photography. Here's what caught our eye this week:

Voting for the Saveur Food Blog Awards wraps up this week (April 30th to be exact) and as far as we know, there is only one Canadian blog up for an award this year: FBC Member Mayssam from Will Travel For Food in the Best Culinary Travel Coverage category.
