VEGETARIAN COOKING: Travel Internet for food

The amount of recipes and food information available on the Internet amazes me. You can purchase any ingredient and connect with other foodies as you shop online. Here’s some finds to visit this summer.

n chow.com: Part blog, part recipe collection and part food newspaper if you will, I just like it. You can look for restaurant recommendations, watch cooking videos and generally entertain yourself for hours on this site. Chow offers information on a wide variety of topics from becoming more green to mastering the mojito. It’s all good.

— cookiesfromitaly.com: There are wonderful simple regional Italian recipes as well as mail-order Italian products. I really like that the recipes are authentic.

— vegweb.com: This is a good all-around vegetarian site that offers recipes and the potential to build your own vegetarian community. There’s a bunch of information for vegans as well.

— ethnicgrocer.com: This site sells ingredients from around the globe. Shop by country or ingredient. They even help you set up an ethnic pantry featuring the flavors of over a dozen countries.
