Unintended Consequences writes about some of the food and eating books they’ve been readying (or trying to read).

Their efforts takes some of the legwork out of it for the rest of us.

Mediangler: Taste TV – More Visual Web 2.0


Food writer and Mediangler contributer Haydn writes about TasteTV:

The number of sites that give practical advice to users is growing, we’ve already witnessed that. Taste TV takes it a stage further by adding class.

Taste TV is operated by a west coast publisher, TCB, with a stylish portfolio of lifestyle books and now with added chocolate (yes it too is a TV channel).

It won’t be the last but it is a good indication of where things are headed. In the UK IP TV applications have been sports-focused or based around local television. Lifestyle TV over the web is so logical it’s a surprise there aren’t more examples.

Of course there’s fashion tv but that’s really an insiders’ magazine and, I suspect because it is French in origin, it hasn’t been given the attention it deserves.

Taste TV is done tastefully with good screen design values but it also aggregates blogs, is a user generated site for uploading food related video, and it integrates professional content and restaurant reviews. It ticks a few boxes. Definitely one to wawtch.

Gordon Ramsay has won the Best Chef in London for the 11th year

Bfeed reports that Gordon Ramsay has won the Best Chef in London for the 11th year. Perhaps the voting panel is just scared of him (if you’ve seen his shows, you know what I mean)?

Gordon Ramsay has done it again, not only has he topped another top chef list, he has won the Best Chef in London for the 11th year running. In the acclaimed Harden’s London Restaurants 2007 Guide that came out yesterday, the Scottish chef again claimed the title of top chef.

Ramsay’s self-named restaurant was voted “Top Gastronomic Experience” by a panel of 8,000 diners for the 2007 guide. Five of celebrity chef Ramsay’s restaurants are in the top 10 of that category, with the number of diners boosted by his celebrity status.

Alton Brown’s Asphalt Adventure

We’re not really sure where the news is here in food tv hosts Alton Brown’s blog, but if you find it, let us know. The Food Network has taken to sending all of their hosts out on the road and out of the studios in order to “connect” with their audiences.

Alton Brown’s Asphalt Adventure (CBS News)
To get the real story on American “road food,” celebrity chef Alton Brown took a trip. Now, he drops by The Early Show to show just how basic (and creative) asphalt cuisine can be.

Video: “Feeding Desire” + FREE Taste England guide

Cool Hunting Blog has a great video about the Feeding Desire exhibition.

“Like a history of civilization told through forks, the current exhibit “Feeding Desire” (through 29 October 2006) at New York’s Cooper-Hewitt design museum traces the evolution of utensils from 1500-2005. Including highlights like pre-18th century sharkskin-handled knives (used when inns didn’t provide flatware for guests), and pieces by well-known Scandinavian designers such as Georg Jensen and Arne Jacobsen that exemplify the Danish modern aesthetic, the show reveals the way these quotidian objects of design are also some of the most emotional and intimate. Cool Hunting Video’s 47th episode takes you on a personal guided tour of “Feeding Desire” with Cooper-Hewitt curator Sarah Coffin, who shares her knowledge and passion of Cooper-Hewitt’s extensive collection.
