New food websites

The restaurant search site Urbanspoon has recently started covering Tampa Bay. It pulls together restaurant reviews from the newspaper critics such as the St. Petersburg Times, Tampa Bay Metro, Tampa Tribune, etc., as well as reviews from local food bloggers (Matt at FloridaFoodHound, Urban Eater, etc). Seems like a fairly good resource--as an example, check out this page.

Another newcomer is InYourKitchen.com, the first of its kind all-video cooking-and-lifestyle website. The idea is that it taps top chefs and food and wine authorities for their signature recipes, cooking tips and techniques, offering home cooks easy-to-follow video recipes. Most of the videos are under six minutes and follow recipes step-by-step in clear, up-close shots. They can be paused and restarted at any point for clarity. Hosted by Diane Stopford, the site is aimed at what they're calling the "anti-apron generation," those cooks who want to forgo the fussiness and formality of traditional cooking.
