A Guide to New Food Sites
With the economy in a tailspin, many people are turning to the comfort of food -- not to mention the cost-saving advantages of home cooking -- and the Web as an eating resource.
The number of visitors to the top 35 food sites in December grew 14% percent from a year ago, while the number of people who visited the Internet as a whole increased just 4% in the same time period, according to comScore, an Internet data provider.Likewise, the number of food Web sites is increasing. According to Hitwise, another online data provider, more than 300 food and beverage sites have launched in the past year.Allrecipes.com and the Food Network's Web site, which both launched in 1997, are the overall top-trafficked food sites. Here are a few of the newer ones, all launched in the past year or so, that have caught our eye:

Premise: Originally founded in Japan, this user-based recipe site was bought by California-based Tsavo Media in January and renamed Nibbledish. Think of this site as a Facebook and Twitter for foodies. Users create their own page and profile where they can post recipes and photos, and then comment and vote on others's. They can also "follow" fellow users they like. The interface is photo driven (and reminiscent of Tastespotting.com), but while some of the pictures are drool enticing, not all recipes are vetted by pros.Verdict: Ideal for the home cook looking to be part of a community to share, get feedback or learn from others. But when it comes to recipes, depending on who posted them, they can be hit or miss.
