Watching Recipes On The Internet.
A Southern-bred mother cooking Jap Chae with Yang Chow Fried Rice for dinner is not an unusual sight as it was 5 years ago. The Internet has changed the way we find new recipes, and it’s literally the “sky’s the limit in terms of cuisine choices”.
During the 1960s to 1970s, it was a neighborly act to share recipes after a potluck, county fair, or church get-together as this was one of the special bonding moments among housewives. Unfortunately, with the increase in working moms and the business of everyone’s schedules, It’s definitely not the same anymore, and even cookbook publishers are starting to feel the pinch. Why buy a book when you can just download the recipe over the internet, right?
Definitely, the kind of cookbooks that have a weekly menu format is long gone, since you can enjoy a smorgasbord of dishes from East to West, North to South, every day, with every meal. Your family will even begin to get tired of fast food restaurants, since the food at home is starting to taste so much better. Imagine how much you can save by cooking Japanese, Swedish, Spanish, Chinese, Italian, and other international dishes instead of spending a bundle on a restaurant that charges exorbitant prices!
As a parent, you can even train your family’s taste buds to accept and appreciate lemon grass chicken or California Maki with Japanese mustard, known as wasabi. With the Internet what was previously considered exotic dishes are daily meal choices. Plus, it doesn’t even matter if you have never cooked any of these dishes before since you can also watch the videos and learn how to cook duck, squid, and even tuna.
Even young teenagers and adults are getting onboard the cooking internet train. They too become enthralled with improving their culinary skills and look forward to their online cooking lessons right from the comforts of their computer.
Even business people with coffee shops and restaurants have a new source for recipes, and can experiment with a variety of dishes as often as they want. Once their customers know that aside from their favorite dishes, they can also try new ones on a weekly basis, the business is guaranteed to shoot through the roof.
So, how about it? Want some Spanish Paella tonight, Filipino Adobe tomorrow, Korean Spicy Shrimp, and New Orleans barbeque over the weekend? How about checking out a cooking show with celebrity chefs going on online shows demonstrating 20 different ways to bake chocolate cakes or oatmeal cookies? The limit on the number of recipes is beyond what you can imagine, and it keeps growing every day. Indulge your passion for food and new tastes today.
