Forkly – Forkly shows you where to go and what’s tasty there. Browse photos, see ratings and want items so you can easily find them later when you’re hungry.

Foodzy – Foodzy will help its users keep track of what products they eat during the day, and reward certain healthy eating habits with badges. This way people are able to maintain a healthy lifestyle, start losing weight or simply keep track of their eating habits.

Foodzie – We keep hearing how supporting our local economy -local businesses- is a beneficial way to minimize global warming and to help small businesses rid of the hardships of globalization. I’m a firm believer in buying produce at your nearest farmers market rather than at corporate chain store supermarkets. Foodzie is yet another small business supporter, connecting you with numerous small scale food producers and growers.

At Foodzie you can find cool gifts any foody will love, but it’s also the perfect place for you to sell your artisan food as well. It’s “an online marketplace where you can discover and buy food directly from small passionate food producers and growers.” Search for food goodies by category, gift, region or brand. I think I just found the perfect gift for my father’s B-Day: The Bourbon Sauce Trifecta Gift Set, a perfect match for my BBQ-obsessed dad!

Skinnytaste – To me, the term ‘low fat’ always meant tasteless imitation of the real thing. Healthy foods in general are often perceived as having less appeal than their calorie-rich counterparts. But that doesn’t have to be the case, as Gina Homolka, author of Skinnytaste, shows. This cooking blog features “low fat, healthy recipes using real ingredients such as butter and sugar, just less of it.” How does it measure up? See for yourself with Gina’s Summer Squash and Chive Pancakes recipe.

Each recipe has an informative breakdown of servings, Weight Watchers points, calories, fat, protein, carbs, fiber, sugar and sodium. In addition, Skinnytaste offers the Ask Gina section where users can join diet and nutrition discussions to make the most of their healthy eating experience. Food that’s good for your body and soul doesn’t necessarily have to be healthy at the expense of great taste. Gina proves you can have the best of both worlds in Skinnytaste.

Punchfork – Another look & click recipe site, Punchfork collects the Web’s best recipes in virtually any category you can think of, and showcases them elegantly on the homepage. Moreover, Punchfork uses social media channels to find out what’s hot in the cooking world right now, and shares that on their site. Punchfork’s visual approach is, as I’m sure you would agree, much more rewarding and helpful in recipe search online.

Search recipes by ingredients, or by user ratings, and Punchfork’s browsing filters can adjust your search to include blogs, trends, recently added recipes and more. To see what a chosen recipe page looks like, here’s one that is perfect for these hot summer days: Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream by Serious Eats. Each recipe page allows you to go to the original site or blog’s recipe post.

Gojee – This recipe site -named after the funny looking berry from southeastern Europe and Asia- stands out from conventional recipe sites for a few obvious reasons. First, from the first moment you enter Gojee, all you see are large, hi-res, mouth-watering photos. Second, the site shows you (as opposed to merely ‘finds’) curated recipes depending on what you crave and what you currently have at home, while the system eliminates what you hate or can’t eat. The free style recipe search is also available if you must.

Whatever recipe you fall in love with can be shared on Facebook, Twitter or via email, and you can also mark it as a favorite. Who curated and tested these to-drool-for recipes? Meet the savvy cooks and foodie bloggers behind the scenes.

Say100 – What used to be VideoEgg and Six Apart is now a sexy and sought-after vertical media company, Say Media. And what a a better way to show off the modern media company’s power than by showing off its most creative customers? Say100 is “a list of influential voices in 10 content verticals, including food, entertainment, style and technology.”

Remember the awesome looking women’s online lifestyle mag xoJane we reviewed last month? Its creator Jane Pratt is one of the Style voices featured on Say100. Other fields featured on Say100 include food, parenting, business (marketing expert Seth Godin is also a customer), tech, design, travel and others. So what do the “voices” on Say100 mean, exactly? Each field’s primary professional has his or her own page with a bio paragraph and links to his or her respective website and social network venues. See Foodie expert Amanda Hesser’s page as an example.

So what’s in Say100 for you? Even if SayMedia’s mighty powers of advertising haven’t managed to impress you, at the very least you will find great sites in numerous categories. In addition, each channel includes a post feed on the right side of your screen which offers high quality updates from relevant blogs and sites. You can’t argue with great content.

Yummly – When it comes to getting credible, right-on recipes, I usually go to Epicurious.com and the Food Network’s website. I am aware of the existence of many other sites that can be just as insightful and useful, but going to more than two sites for recipes seems like too much work. Thanks to Yummly, I only need to visit one site to get all the results for my requested recipe.

The screenshot above shows my search for a grilled salmon recipe, which resulted with numerous entries in various cooking sites, including my personal favorite epicurious.com. What I love about Yummly is that the site not only scans the web for relevant results, but also lets you refine your search by additional parameters such as taste preferences, allergies, diets, courses, cuisines, sources, holidays and related recipes, among others. All of the shown results are user-rated of course, so you don’t have to start guessing if this truly is a good recipe or not. This is a genuine cooking & recipes facilitator you should try out.

Well – As with most of the NYTimes.com blogs, this one about health & wellness is also a superb source of content. Well offers engaging posts on a number of relevant topics including food, pets, exercise and personal achievement, the science of fitness, and “Patient Voices.” Well has a commendable size of active, responsive readership that likes to comment on the blog’s interesting posts and further elaborate the discussion.

One particular post I found intriguing on Well is Tara Parker-Pope’s A Dual Portrait of American Fatherhood, discussing the radical changes in the paternal role of today’s America, compared to pops’ levels of engagement a few decades ago (just in time for Father’s Day). Well is a last week’s Weekly Blog winner and a personal favorite for both my mind and soul. Enjoy.

Fooducate – Eating better and healthier is now easier than ever. No more excuses! Fooducate, a free iPhone and Android app is here to help you make smarter choices at the supermarket. The app’s barcode scanning feature facilitates deciphering those long and complicated ingredients lists, and it tells you straight up what the product you’re holding in your hand is made of (both good and bad ingredients).

The Fooducate team is made up of parents, dietitians and “techies,” which means you can trust the app’s health recommendations and product information. Use Fooducate to scan products, compare and seek alternative choices, or learn more about healthy nutrition. All you have to do is download the free app and scan products. Fooducate will do the rest.

Fooducate, especially considering the fact that it’s free, is a must-have health app you’ll appreciate and benefit from for the long term. Its interface is easy to follow and interact with, and the barcode feature works like a charm. I have already added this app to my iPhone and I use it every week. Highly recommended!

Dishfolio – With the catchy motto “eat. share. drool.,” Dishfolio is a food-photography aggregator that, quite similarly to Food Porn and Food Gawker, showcases large thumbnails of mouth-watering dish recipes for you to enjoy, hence the portfolio association.

In terms of concept, Dishfolio goes where others have gone before, but the execution makes it all worth while. Dishfolio will bring lots of inspiring and yummy foods right to your screen, and you can get the recipe of all the posts by simply clicking on the image. Here’s an example of my favorite summer breakfast drink, Mango Lassi.

AHAlife – This upscale website is an “online discovery destination where you can learn about – and purchase – the best unique products from around the world, collectively curated by our group of influential tastemakers.” In other words, AHAlife (‘aha’ referring to the sound of discovery) features high quality products for you to admire and buy, ranging from fashion and home decor to food, travel and technology. Think of it as an online store offering a curated collection of items for people with exquisite taste.

To get an idea of the sort of things you can buy here on AHAlife, here’s the What’s New page.

What really makes AHAlife stand out from any other upscale store is its team of curators. This certainly serves as worthy added value you won’t find elsewhere. I strongly encourage you to register to AHAlife and be inspired by beautiful, meaningful things on a daily basis.
