I don’t know if you have had the chance to check out the newly updated epicurious website or not. It looks great! The new color scheme is actually quite reminiscent of deglazing, that’s probably a coincidence…One of the things I really like is the how to cook tab in the articles & guides section. The how to cook section shows you how to work with a particular ingredient like dates, tomatoes, etc. I think this is a great section if you have a seasonal ingredient you want to work with, but want to try something different than you normally make. The how to cook section gives great tips like how to chose produce and how to store it properly. It also gives you great recipe ideas for breakfast, snacks, lunch and dinner. If you haven’t seen this section, it’s worth checking out. Another section worth checking out is the epi-video library under the recipe tab. This section is full of great videos from basic cooking to celebrity chef interviews.
The new epicurious website still maintains the functionality of the old site. You can still create your own account and save recipes to your file. They have also created new user forums for people to chat with other foodies.
Overall, I like the look and the feel of the new site. It’s functional, it’s fun, and as always, it has tons and tons of cooking advice for foodies.
