Kind of know what you want to eat, but aren’t sure? Google Recipe View can help. Now, search results include a recipe tab, complete with popular (and not-so-popular) ingredients. So if you are looking for a chicken soup recipe with turnips, but not parsnips, Google knows where to look, giving 784 recipes to choose from. Go ahead and try it now. Finding something to cook just got a whole new makeover.
There is no doubt that cuisine can at times transport one to another place, but that place doesn’t necessarily have to be terrestrial. Proof can be seen in Christopher Jonassen’s book, Devour. What may look like a faraway world is in fact something else quite down to earth: pots and/or pans. Cookware may only last so long, but given immortality through photography, close-up photos offer a new perspective, giving us a glimpse into a world that no longer exists. Or at least should not be used to cook any more meals.

As per usual
Hot pepper fanatics will often go to great lengths to fuel their obsession. As they eat their way up the Scoville scale they climb into ever-higher heat territory with each new pepper variety offering more of a kick than the last. There is only one way such a devotion to all things hot can end up: at the top of the scale.
The Grow Your Own World’s Hottest Pepper kit offers an easy way for the capsaicin-addicted to achieve new heights for their endorphin rush. Just pop open the kit, add water and sunlight and soon your very own Naga jolokia (aka: Bhut jolokia or ghost chili) will be sprouting up, offering its temptation to all those brave enough to try. And of course, if the obsession ever gets out of hand, you can always nip it in the bud.
Gourmet, the Magazine of Good Living was put to rest last year by publisher Condé Nast, but like a soufflé softly rising from having fallen, it lives again. In digital form.
Designed for tablet devices, Gourmet Live promises to be a modern rethinking of the classic magazine. With video clips, slide shows and social interactivity features, the new Gourmet looks forward to the future, while drawing on the experience of being the first magazine (1941) in the U.S. dedicated to food and wine.
Coming in Fall 2010.
