Kitchen 2.0: New Food Websites on the Block

If you think the only way to search the interwebs for your favorite foods is by tapping keywords into Google, well, think again.

While some of our favorite recipe websites, like Epicurious or AllRecipes provide endless meal and snack options, there are some new food-centric websites on the block that help everyday cooks whip up meals with more convenience than ever.

With Kitchen Monki, everyday home cooks can keep their recipes, set a weekly meal plan, and automate the preparation of their grocery list based on recipes they’ve selected. The best part? That grocery list can be delivered to the users’ mobile device for convenient shopping – a first in the space. In addition, members are able to quickly catalog, sort, and search their own  recipes similar to the way iTunes organizes music.

Yummly launched in June and is the first semantic search platform for food and recipes. The site’s 500,000+ recipes, aggregated from all across the web, are searchable by ingredient, diet, allergy, nutrition, price, cuisine, time, taste, meal courses and sources.

Plummelo helps cooks save recipes found on various cooking and recipe sites from around the Web and plan their shopping lists.
