Every Wednesday this semester we will be posting about a new blog or cooking website that we love! The internet is filled with food websites, and our goal is to arm you with the “Best of the Food Web”!

If you find cooking intimidating or just moved into your first apartment and are trying to figure out how to stock your kitchen, do it Delicious is the perfect website! Jessica Seinfeld, famous for her Deceptively Delicious cookbook, started the website after creating cooking videos for her not-so-cooking-savvy friend Ally. Realizing that many people are like Ally and don’t know the basics of cooking, they paired up and started do it Delicious. Under the Recipes tab, you’ll find a list of Jessica’s videos with each recipe’s prep and cooking time listed next to its name. Click on a recipe and you’ll be given both the recipe and a short video on how to make it. More than just recipes, the website also features shopping and kitchen guides. In the shopping guide, you’ll find a list of essential cookware and baking tools, along with how to use them and recommended products. The kitchen guide has information that is useful on a daily basis, such as how to read a food label and how to incorporate herbs to add flavor to your meals. The website also has a blog, which features recipes not found on the website and other food-related articles definitely worth checking out!

Some highlights:

• Know Thy Chicken — deciphers labels such as “Kosher” and “Hormone Free” as well as the different cuts and how best to cook them
• Cookware Shopping Guide
• Perfect Halibut over Spinach — nutritious recipe that takes the fear out of cooking fish, and it’s ready in less than 20min!
• Seriously Basic Roast Chicken — no need to buy expensive rotisserie chickens at the supermarket, Jessica shows you how easy it is to prepare one yourself
• No-Bake Energy Bars — not only will save you money, but is also made with nutritious, whole ingredients
