Foodgawker is a photo gallery that allows you to visually search and discover new recipes, techniques and ingredients to inspire your culinary adventures. It publishes food photography submitted by food bloggers from around the world. Launched in June 2008 by web consultant, Chuck Lai, this is a network of curated, user-submitted photo gallery sites. THE GOOD: To get more details about a photo, simply click on the image and you’ll be taken to the submitter’s blog post where you’ll find a recipe, read a restaurant review or learn about new food trends. If you register and create an account with them, you will be able to save, tag and write notes on your favourite photos/recipes by clicking on the heart icon. You can even share your page of favourites with your friends and family.. THE BAD: Once you get hooked on gawking at mouth-watering food photos, you’ll need to constantly feed your eyes. To accommodate this addiction, they publish new images multiple times a day, seven days a week; 365 days a year. Thanks to the thousands of incredible food bloggers who submit to the site, they have an extensive archive of recipes that you can visually browse and search by category, tags and popularity. WEBSITE OF THE MONTH VERDICT: This is for those who can’t eat a meal without ‘Instagram’ing it.
