Ask Mecha: If I was starting one, I'd call it 'Cook' So, I want a site that's along the same lines as Make or Craft (both kinda geeky DIY sites), except about food and cooking. Does such a thing exist? If not, what's the next best thing?
Triode, my friend, you can have all the money and all the credit--I'd be happy just to see a site like that exist.
Will this statement come back to haunt me, right around the time that Google buys the Cook website/magazine empire, and Triode and Nigella Lawson run away to a tropical island together? Maybe.
One of the oddest/most innovative food blogs I've found is IDEAS IN FOOD (WARNING: today's recipe is not for the squeamish---it's a pig's head). It's run by a couple who happen to be accomplished chefs. Some of the food is very odd. For instance, how would you garnish your new sweet corn ice cream? With tequila-infused caviar and tubes of pumpernickel, of course.
