I used the short list of winners because the nominee list was a little scary and with so much to explore I'm starting with one. I really love to eat, cook, watch people cook and I enjoy when someone else likes what I made. So I went to http://www.imcooked.com/and there's tons of categorized videos that you can watch, (I'm getting kind of sick of watching the same chefs on FoodNetwork everyday), you can upload your own cooking demo. It's great being in someone else's kitchen and see the little techniques they use in their everyday cooking or that has been passed down through generations. I sat and watched Mama Rosa, she has a few videos and I think it's her son or grandson filming, she's an older, Italian lady that makes authentic food, her way, without any editing or the "magic of television", she's so grumpy, that it's cute!
The site offers quick ways to upload and download videos, everything has its own category, even one for kids, you can create groups to connect with other people that are interested in the same types of foods you are! It's like YouTube, but all about food...FoodTube.
I registered and verified my email and was able to access all imcooked had to offer. I think maybe one day I will be on there showing how to make something. We'll see! :) But I also think this would be a cool way to show different types of food from all ethnicities (I hear that a lot of schools aren't allowing students to bring in food anymore) or maybe show a video to show a step - by - step process, or even record students making their own recipes for measurements, procedures, or informational videos.

I am definitely going to have to check out this website. Good choice! I have been cooking in the kitchen for as long as I can remember. My parents, to their credit, allowed me to do little things in the kitchen when I was young, and I have grown to love cooking ever since. I am a FoodNetwork addict, and I know what you mean about seeing the same faces over and over again. I love to watch the show “Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives” where the host, Guy Fieri travels to these hole-in-the-wall places and gets to eat some of the best food. (FYI – I would LOVE to have that job!) Anyway, this actually did cause me to think that perhaps the best cooks in this country aren’t hosts on FoodNetwork, and I wish there were more tv shows dedicated to the average restaurant owner. You have found something even better than that! Awesome! Bravo!! I had to laugh out loud when you referred to this side as “FoodTube.” Very funny!
