www.foodista.com is charging ahead with their plans to become the wikipedia of food (and recipes and ingredients) on the web and they are doing a lovely job. one pot, caffe vita, foraged and found edibles, and chef conor donahue got together with foodista to test the technology... in real time.
the idea was rather simple - source all the best foraged items available in the northwest - lay the stuff out in a kitchen - add three chefs - and let them cook up new recipes from scratch. add foodista to translate the rapid cooking to recipe form - and publish the recipes and documentation (in real time) invite friends and host a dinner wherein all the guests can take home the recipes they just feasted upon. share it with the world. this was our first foray into this realm - expect more to come.
here is the menu and links to the recipes.
