If you’re interested in obscure food knowledge, Snobsite.com offers selections from the book “The Food Snob’s Dictionary,” which will teach you the distinction between romanesco and romesco among other foodie essentials.
To keep up with more down-to-earth elements of culinary culture, visit Culinate for articles and recipes that focus on sustainable food culture.
The best way to stay abreast of food or wine trends is to read food magazines. Many offer a lot of content for free on their Web sites. Gourmet and Food & Wine are two of the most widely read. For a casual look at classic cooking, try Cook's Illustrated. Wine Spectator is an authority on the wine industry.
To find a culinary publication that services your neighborhood, try Edible Communities. Each regional quarterly includes directories to local farmers markets as well as recipes featuring seasonal produce.
