What's cooking with iGoogle...
November 19, 2009
We're both huge foodies, and we always love spending time in the kitchen with friends and family, especially around the holidays. Particularly during this season, many of us turn to Google when
searching for recipes
. But, in addition to spicing up your recipe repertoire, Google can be a huge resource in the kitchen. From helping you with sugar
measurements
, to jump starting ideas for unique Thanksgiving
table settings
, the web has made becoming a culinary master much easier.
Since many of us love to celebrate great food, we're excited to announce that we've partnered with a variety of top chefs and food industry experts to bring you some elegant new, food-focused iGoogle themes and gadgets. iGoogle is all about personalization and freshness, and in that spirit, these unique themes are sure to delight the chef in all of us. Be sure to check out our
iGoogle gallery
, where you'll find some tasty new themes from chefs like
Alton Brown
and
Paula Deen
, food artists like
Carl Warner
and
James Parker
and even famous bakeries like New York City's
Crumbs Bake Shop
and
Magnolia Bakery
.
In addition to these taste bud tantalizing themes, we've also partnered with many top food industry names to build a suite of new gadgets for your iGoogle page. For example,
Supercook
lets you input various ingredients you have on hand, then gives you some great recipes you can whip up. And if you're feeling like a night out at a new restaurant,
Urbanspoon
will help you pick a restaurant on the fly — all from your iGoogle page.
We hope this new element of
gourmet iGoogle personalization
will get you even more interested in enhancing your cooking and dining experiences. Here's to some great new food with family and friends this holiday season!
