2010-03-15 Pocket Chef for iPhone ( - Games )

My warning to bad/inexperienced cooks: do not go try to cook a five-course meal after playing a few rounds of Pocket Chef. The little cooking mini-games are in no way realistic portrayals of the right way to cook food, I assume partially so that the game can be more accessible and partly because real cooking is time consuming and boring to watch. Pocket Chef does offer a recipe book, but at only 25 recipes, Pocket Chef cant compete with real recipe apps like Whole Foods Recipes or Epicurious Recipes, both of which have more recipes and are much cheaper than Pocket Chefs usd. 4. 99.

2010-03-13 Online chefs serve up cooking advice, expertise

Home cooks all over the world flock to YouTube, WordPress and the like to share their recipes and experiences. Food blogs and communities like Epicurious and AllRecipes explode with content, from the "semi-homemade" recipes popularized by several Food Network shows to demonstrations from trained cooks and expert bakers. Theyre a diverse group -- world travelers, stay-at-home moms, even restaurant owners -- but they share a passion for creating and sharing fabulous dishes.

If youre watching, say, Food Network and you have a question, you cant really call them up or get in touch with them," says Jannu. She thinks the ability to connect with her and Balasubramanian is a big part of their Web sites attraction. "The biggest benefit of the online community is that even though we have a video out there, people have questions, and all they have to do is write to us or comment on the video. And we make a point to answer every question we get. "

2010-03-11 3 Big Problems for Online Advertisers - Business - The Atlantic

The real money in search engine advertising is in the highly commercial verticals like Shopping, Health, and Travel. " But those verticals dont just live on newspaper sites anymore. Theyve left the nest and made homes all over the Internet, at destinations like Edmunds (cars) Orbitz (travel) Epicurious (food). That leaves newspapers . well, the news. The online newspaper and magazine community is moving toward verticals because if you can attract a bunch of regular readers to a page dedicated to, say, Business, you can begin to demonstrate to certain advertisers that youve created a logical destination for their product/service images.

2010-03-06 Why cant I search for foods low in choline Blog by Monica Reinagel, L. D. N. , C. N. S.

A. The reason youre running into this is that choline hasnt been measured in all foods. The USDA has focused on evaluating foods that are thought to be significant sources of choline. 3 So, to present a list of foods that are "lowest in choline" would be a little misleading. Only the foods that have been measured for choline can be included in the results and these foods will probably be higher in choline than many other foods that havent been measured. Make sense

2010-03-04 The Epi-Log on Noisy Restaurants

Ive worked in restaurants that were louder than even I, a young whippersnapper, liked for eating ambiance- I dont like to strain for dinner conversation. That being said, I dont know where people get off who ask for the volume to be turned down for them in a restaurant full of people. I understand if the place is small, practically empty, and you perceive that maybe the lone server who is tending the place is just rocking out, but a restaurant is not just food, its a whole concept people want to sell- that includes music, decor, "vibe" etc. You dont walk into the Odeon at 10 on a Saturday night and ask them to lower the music. They wont. Its like asking your server/the manager to re-paint the walls. Is your comfort the point Overall, yes, but know what the ambiance is like there,

New restaurants are often much louder than their older cousins, said a recent report in The Wall Street Journal. Wood floors, high ceilings, and glass walls or large windows are partly to blame, though many eateries also blast high-volume music, too. Studies on the effects of loud music on customers in fast food restaurants and stores found that people over the age of 50 tend to leave quickly

2010-02-28 Walnuts are high in omega-3s but theres a catch Blog by Monica Reinagel, L. D. N. , C. N. S.

The take home is that reducing sources of omega-6 (such as cereal grains and vegetable oils) is at least as important as increasing sources of omega-3. " Monica, why cereal grains Theres not much fat in them. I should think you would be MUCH more concerned about the ratio in high-fat foods (such as vegetable oils).

You can see the amount of omega-3 and omega-6 in every food by scrolling down to the detailed nutrition charts. If you use our tracking tools to track your intake, you can also see your total omega-3 and omega-6 intake.

2010-02-26 Recipes: How simple is too simple" by Side Dish

There are people out there (probably nit-picky people who also measure out exact amounts of toothpaste) who will want specific measurements for how much salt to throw in boiling water. I had a friend in college (a practicing lawyer who actually graduated early) who, the first time he made pasta, put the spaghetti in the pot before boiling the water. So, lets face it, however silly it may seem to list "Salted Water for Boiling" as a recipe, there are rookie cooks out there who will use it. Even by Epicurious rating system, the recipe got three and a half forks out of five, and 78 percent of users said theyd "make it again. " Isnt that one of the great benefits of the Internet, to be able to ask those questions youve always been too embarrassed to pose to someone you know
