I’ve written about FoodPairing before, which has always seemed like a great and useful kind of site, but I’ve never used it. As a brief introduction, FoodPairing gives a graphical representation of which foods go well together, and which foods can be substituted for other foods. It is a beautiful site, and suffered from only [...]
Lucy Knisley, whom I will admit to knowing absolutely nothing about aside from this thing I am about to describe to you, has mad a comic about her visit to Alinea. You should go read it, as it is a lovely tour, and then you should do as I want to and make a reservation [...]
FoodVu is a food site with a definite video bent. They host a number of different styles of short-format, food related video, including instructional and humorous videos. The flagship video series is The FN Crazy Show, which explores what’s happening at the Food Network. Not to be confused with FN Dish, which is a Food [...]
Serious eats asks:
And I say that I’ll do my part right away.
The Food Timeline is a, er, timeline of food. Food history, rather. It’s a series of links organized by time, telling us important tidbits and giving us a chance to understand the context. For example, I did not realize that the koolickle (Kool-aid Pickle) [...]
From infodoodads‘ 12 sites for foody foodness (which, I should mention, featured me), comes Medieval Recipe Translations.
I know, I know. “But they didn’t even have sous vide back then! What kind of barbaric cooking do you expect us to do?” It’s fair. I understand. Still, how can you pass up a recipe for a frothy [...]
I discovered via FoodVu’s twitter feed that there is 2008 Holiday Drink Gift Guide from Drinkhacker.
It’s an interesting collection of drink options of various types (Bourbon, Scotch, Absinthe, Gin, Vodka, Rum, Tequila, Brandy, and a Liqueur). I am certainly intrigued by the Bourbon and Liqueur choices, and will probably have to get a bottle of [...]
I ran across this little specialty food site today called Edible. When I write “specialty food”, I seriously mean it.
The items that caught my immediate interest were the Wild Black Vanilla Pod and the infamous Civet Coffee. The vanilla because the mind just overflows with the possibilities inherent in a wild version. The coffee because, [...]
BBum is Bill Bumgarner an Alpha Geek programmer, works at Apple in a seriously geeky software engineering position, former owner and now adviser to CodeFab. Geek, for sure.
Tequila is… well, you know what tequila is. Or you think you do. However, BBum really does, and he’s made a post to tell you all about what [...]
Every good food geek requires properly geeky attire when cooking. Maybe not all the time; you can’t just go getting dressed up in a lab coat when you just want to throw together some eggs and bacon, but when taking extinct animals and cooking them for pleasure and nutrition, sometimes you need a little something [...]
There is something good to be said for focus. Technically The Food Geek dot com has a focus, and that is food, but food is a huge topic. Huuuuuge. There are those that are even more focused, and the one I ran across today is LimoncelloQuest.
Since returning from Italy, I have been planning on making [...]
