What does a freelance food writer and Harvard graduate do in her free time? Create an incredibly informative yet friendly and focused food blog about her personal cooking endeavors.

Cheryl Sternman Rule, food writing extraordinaire, has a a healthy slew of clips behind her. Her recipes are published all over print and web, she is a member of multiple national food awareness groups and she is working on an upcoming cookbook. Still, we have to admit that what we adore most about Cheryl is her personal blog, 5 Second Rule.

5 Second Rule is a comprehensive and easy to follow cooking blog which focuses on the recipes Cheryl swears by in her own kitchen. She has Fried Apple Rings, she has Brown Butter Corn Muffins with Honey Caramel, she has Golden Beet and Celeriac Remoulade, she has Green Tea Soba Noodle Soup, and well, she has just about everything. She is funny, she is friendly and most of all, she is approachable in her cooking style. And that's why we just love her blog.
