Put simply it allows you to embed lovely food porn into any website that you might own and have a constantly updating stream of food photos. Food Bloggers can either embed their own photo stream or bigger publishing sites can have a beautiful recipes page that updates automatically with 20 recipes every single day. Hopefully this will turn out to be a wet dream for publishers who need traffic all over the web and we can then roll out the next stage of Foodandfizz. You can &lt;a href="http://www.foodandfizz.com/access/"&gt;see a video here on how it works here&lt;/a&gt; and here is a live stream of photos. Go ahead and get it on &lt;a href="http://www.foodandfizz.com/access/"&gt;your site now&lt;/a&gt; and see what you think&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"

The idea came about when we started listing all the food blogs in the world a couple of months ago and the fact that we wanted to offer a more in depth view of each individual blog. So if you own a blog you will now be able to have it listed &lt;a href="http://ifoods.tv/web/foodieblog-league.jsp"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; and your profile page will include a screen grab, introductory 30 second video about yourself, a brief description and photos of your latest posts. The general public will then be asked to vote on the best blogs and there will be a huge resource there for lovers of food blogs to filter out the good ones and if you are lucky enough to be one of the best blogs near the top of the league then you should be nicely rewarded with traffic back to your blog. As always let us know what you think of this new project and if there are any ideas or features that you would like to see included in the next round of updates.

Much to my surprise I found that there is a strong, vocal and growing anti cilantro faction (they even have a website &lt;a href="http://www.ihatecilantro.com/taste.php"&gt;ihatecilantro.com&lt;/a&gt;). As a chef, I find picky eaters among the most difficult people to deal with. I have found though that most peoples dislikes are psychological and they can generally be turned, knowingly or not. I have recently learned however that a dislike of cilantro is generally genetic and probably an allergy. To these unfortunate souls, cilantro is likely to taste like soap flakes, blood or ear wax to name a few possibilities. Luckily I don't experience this, but I wouldn't wish it upon anyone either. I just hope they are working on a cure for this horrible illness.&lt;br /&gt;One of the &lt;a href="http://food.aol.com/dinner-tonight/most-hated-foods"&gt;lists&lt;/a&gt; it featured on, entitled gross foods included blueberries, maple syrup, oysters, eggs, mushrooms and sour cream among others. Perhaps I'm losing touch with the common man, but without these ingredients the world would be a darker place. Opinions please... am I alone? Do others share hatred for these wonderful foods?&lt;br /&gt;For the fortunate among you who love &lt;a href="http://www.ifoods.tv/site/search.jsp?onlyIfoods=on&amp;amp;onlyMembers=on&amp;amp;search=cilantro&amp;amp;x=0&amp;amp;y=0"&gt;cilantro&lt;/a&gt;, enjoy our member submitted recipes &lt;a href="http://www.ifoods.tv/site/search.jsp?onlyIfoods=on&amp;amp;onlyMembers=on&amp;amp;search=cilantro&amp;amp;x=0&amp;amp;y=0"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6779017095954975495-689824929763260928?l=ifoods.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/IFoods/~4/fETByhO6USs" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://ifoods.blogspot.com/2008/07/cilantro-lovers-unite.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (www.ifoods.tv)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_opCkHuIU29s/SHXZRUjVEzI/AAAAAAAAAwA/n6rRXJAqc2I/s72-c/cilantro.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6779017095954975495.post-8300242912997575552</guid><pubDate>Mon, 07 Jul 2008 10:54:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-12-09T01:32:28.195-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Nadal</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Chestnut</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Wimbledon</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Nathan's</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Eating</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">ifoods</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Hot Dog</category><title>What a Weekend</title><description>Following a weekend of incredible display of athletic abilities we are unsure as to who we are more impressed by.

Nadal endured for 4 hours and 48 minutes to emerge victorious over 5 time Wimbledon Champ Roger Federer in what was probably the greatest tennis final ever seen. On Friday in Coney Island, Joey "The Jaws" Chestnut stepped up against Tekuru "Tsunami" Kobayashi to try to prove that last years victory over 6 time champion in Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest was no fluke. Amazingly after the new 10minute time limit both competitors were tied on 59 hot dogs, but still hungry for more. Chestnut took the title after a 5 hot dog eat off. We see in both events a change of the guards, a new era and a bright future for both new champions.

This week we have a guy who would rather fake his death than pick up the tab… repeatedly. Milwaukee man, Robert Farnam routinely fakes heart attacks in order to avoid paying for meals and cab fares. Nobody is going to demand payment from a dying man, its better for business just to rush him out the door. He was arrested last week after a doctor in a hospital he was unnecessarily rushed to recognised him... again. In fact, he is on probation with five priors for similar offences this year alone. Charged with fraud and habitual criminality, if convicted he stands to serve 2yrs 9months. Perhaps it would be easier to just pay the bill. Once again, further proof that there is no such thing as a free lunch. If you want to cook a meal that is easier on both your heart and your pocket, take a look at our healthier &lt;a href="http://www.ifoods.tv/site/index.jsp"&gt;seafood recipes&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6779017095954975495-5001171505325162297?l=ifoods.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/IFoods/~4/gDF_CmMKZB8" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://ifoods.blogspot.com/2008/07/cardiac-arrested.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (www.ifoods.tv)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_opCkHuIU29s/SHHyXUkglNI/AAAAAAAAAtc/BlMtCF83KSA/s72-c/farnam.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6779017095954975495.post-442165742072741439</guid><pubDate>Fri, 04 Jul 2008 13:32:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-12-09T01:32:28.440-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Kobayashi</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Chestnut</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Nathan's</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Hotdogs</category><title>Nathan's 93rd annual Hot Dog Eating Contest</title><description>&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_opCkHuIU29s/SG4pkSL9nbI/AAAAAAAAAtU/1UBqFVHLU5s/s1600-h/joey.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_opCkHuIU29s/SG4pkSL9nbI/AAAAAAAAAtU/1UBqFVHLU5s/s320/joey.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5219154721503026610" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

All eyes will be on reigning champ, 24 year old Joey "Jaws" Chestnut and his rival and 6 time former champion Takeru "Tsunami" Kobayashi who no doubt is eager to reclaim the title. While no more than a novelty to most and unlikely to become an olympic sport anytime soon, these 'eateletes' take their jobs very seriously and follow rigorous training schedules and diets.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14;"&gt;&lt;!--[if gte mso 9]&gt;&lt;xml&gt;  &lt;u3:worddocument&gt;   &lt;u3:view&gt;Normal&lt;/u3:View&gt;   &lt;u3:zoom&gt;0&lt;/u3:Zoom&gt;   &lt;u3:punctuationkerning/&gt;   &lt;u3:validateagainstschemas/&gt;   &lt;u3:saveifxmlinvalid&gt;false&lt;/u3:SaveIfXMLInvalid&gt;   &lt;u3:ignoremixedcontent&gt;false&lt;/u3:IgnoreMixedContent&gt;   &lt;u3:alwaysshowplaceholdertext&gt;false&lt;/u3:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText&gt;   &lt;u3:compatibility&gt;    &lt;u3:breakwrappedtables/&gt;    &lt;u3:snaptogridincell/&gt;    &lt;u3:wraptextwithpunct/&gt;    &lt;u3:useasianbreakrules/&gt;    &lt;u3:dontgrowautofit/&gt;   &lt;/u3:Compatibility&gt;   &lt;u3:browserlevel&gt;MicrosoftInternetExplorer4&lt;/u3:BrowserLevel&gt;  &lt;/u3:WordDocument&gt; &lt;/xml&gt;&lt;![endif]--&gt;&lt;!--[if gte mso 9]&gt;&lt;xml&gt;  &lt;u4:latentstyles deflockedstate="false" latentstylecount="156"&gt;  &lt;/u4:LatentStyles&gt; &lt;/xml&gt;&lt;![endif]--&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:14;"  &gt;Chestnut fasts and stretches his stomach by drinking enormous quantities of milk and water, while Kobayashi weight trains to increase metabolism and eats larger and larger amounts of food followed by exercise to prevent fat gain which can impede gurgitation on such mammoth proportions.

I'll spare you the &lt;a href="http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/06/080630165707.htm"&gt;science&lt;/a&gt;, but if you are looking for that extra boost, it seems you will have to eat your own bodyweight in one sitting to ensure the desired results!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6779017095954975495-5897757540290745234?l=ifoods.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/IFoods/~4/s9_VvktnBZg" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://ifoods.blogspot.com/2008/07/hello.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (www.ifoods.tv)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_opCkHuIU29s/SG3pWF--hPI/AAAAAAAAAs8/Q1ky7_MUG8A/s72-c/watermelon.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">1</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6779017095954975495.post-1893003950461919594</guid><pubDate>Wed, 02 Jul 2008 10:01:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-12-09T01:32:30.106-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Valencia</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Holiday</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Food</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Fight</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Vacation</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Tomato</category><title>Anyone for a Food Fight?</title><description>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_opCkHuIU29s/SGtWbOW8k0I/AAAAAAAAAsE/Wlp1r_MUgOw/s1600-h/Tomatina.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_opCkHuIU29s/SGtWbOW8k0I/AAAAAAAAAsE/Wlp1r_MUgOw/s320/Tomatina.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5218359618949649218" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While this picture may look like it has been taken from the latest zombie or vampire movie, what you may mistake as blood is in fact tomato juice! Anyone stuck for a holiday destination filled with culture, sun and of course culinary adventure may want to consider Valencia, Spain. What attracted me there (I’m thinking of returning) is the annual &lt;a href="http://www.latomatina.es/"&gt;Tomatina&lt;/a&gt; held in Bunol each year at the end of August. It is a week long festival of music, dancing and food all building up to a &lt;a href="http://www.ifoods.tv/site/video.jsp?video=52"&gt;paella &lt;/a&gt;cooking contest (get a head start with our online &lt;a href="http://www.ifoods.tv/site/video.jsp?video=52"&gt;paella video recipe&lt;/a&gt;) and the largest food fight in the world! Generally not an advocate of wasting food, La Tomatina has to be seen to be believed. Picture 40,000 people let loose on the streets with truckloads of tomatoes to fire at one another. Needless to say it quickly becomes a mess, but it is all in the spirit of fun and there really is a great atmosphere and a great festival.&lt;br /&gt;Everything gets cleaned up and they say the acidity of the tomatoes in fact helps to clean the streets. I would definately recommend it though as I'm sure you can imagine, its not for the faint hearted, anyone afraid of getting a little messy and needless to say anyone who doesn't like tomatoes!&lt;br /&gt;If I've whetted your appetite for tomatoes, be sure to check out our tomato based video &lt;a href="http://www.ifoods.tv/site/search.jsp?onlyIfoods=on&amp;amp;onlyMembers=on&amp;amp;search=tomato&amp;amp;x=0&amp;amp;y=0"&gt;recipes here&lt;/a&gt;. And if you do happen to make it to this years Tomatina, I hope to see you there!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6779017095954975495-1893003950461919594?l=ifoods.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/IFoods/~4/6JyEt2jAmR0" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://ifoods.blogspot.com/2008/07/anyone-for-food-fight.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (www.ifoods.tv)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_opCkHuIU29s/SGtWbOW8k0I/AAAAAAAAAsE/Wlp1r_MUgOw/s72-c/Tomatina.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6779017095954975495.post-6045035852619464504</guid><pubDate>Tue, 01 Jul 2008 14:39:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-12-09T01:32:30.196-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">evian</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">rip off</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Coke</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Expensive</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">water</category><title>Water More Expensive Than Oil</title><description>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_opCkHuIU29s/SGpEN6RglCI/AAAAAAAAAr8/P2dNtOUZoXk/s1600-h/Fillico.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_opCkHuIU29s/SGpEN6RglCI/AAAAAAAAAr8/P2dNtOUZoXk/s320/Fillico.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5218058124033823778" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I always thought it no coincidence that Evian spelled backwards was naïve. I cannot justify paying for water when if flows freely from the taps, and in some cases (Coca Cola’s Deep River Rock) the bottled stuff has been proven to come from the very same. When bottled water was first marketed in Ireland sometime in the 1980’s, people thought it was some sort of joke, an early April Fool perhaps? Whoever was selling it must be a fool, and anyone buying it a greater one. A wise man would have put his faith and money in people’s tendency to fall in line and cough up for it because it has since snowballed into a multi-million Euro industry growing steadily every year. &lt;br /&gt;Everything changes with time and sure enough we now have a range of still, sparkling, mineral, spring, flavoured and distilled waters designed to suit all tastes (?) and pockets. Now perhaps I am getting old or perhaps I always have been the very doubting Thomas who said there was no room in the marketplace for bottled water, but a line has to be drawn somewhere.&lt;br /&gt;Fillico Beverly Hills, bottle water from a spring in Kobe Japan and sell it in fancy bottles at a staggering $100/bottle! Before you go running out the door to hydrate yourself with this super luxurious H20 that I can only assume holds the secret to eternal youth, keep in mind that they only fill 5000 bottles per month (that and the fact you can fill a glass in your kitchen for free). I’ve heard of people selling sand to the Arabs and Ice to the Eskimos, but besides detoxifying rap stars, Michael Flatley and Britney Spears I cannot think of a single person who might be prepared to buy this stuff. A man wiser than myself once warned me never to underestimate people’s stupidity, I guess Fillico are heeding this warning!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6779017095954975495-6045035852619464504?l=ifoods.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/IFoods/~4/iCDeCzJcPCg" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://ifoods.blogspot.com/2008/07/water-more-expensive-than-oil.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (www.ifoods.tv)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_opCkHuIU29s/SGpEN6RglCI/AAAAAAAAAr8/P2dNtOUZoXk/s72-c/Fillico.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">1</thr:total></item></channel></rss>
