Searching for Good Food

Published by Nick under Using FeedReel

It’s a daily problem: how to find or make the good food (and drink) that’s an essential part of life.

What? Which? Where? How?

It’s even harder away from home. Eating out can be a sublime delight, the highlight of a day, or a sorry disappointment that leaves a lingering bad taste in the mouth and soul.

Finding Good Food

Happily, the web offers myriad resources to steer us towards good food. From extensive databases of recipes and restaurant reviews to the serendipity of bloggers’ reports on their experiences in the kitchen, at the shops and eating out.

Specialist sites and the mainstream media’s online presence have the edge on consistency of reporting, but bloggers offer something more direct and personal.

FeedReel’s food search draws on the full range of resources for a wide variety of views on an increasingly comprehensive selection of subjects. The search covers over 200 specialist websites and blogs, all focused on food and drink in the UK.

Welcome to FeedReel

Published by Nick under Using FeedReel

For anyone with an interest in food and drink (isn’t that everyone?), the web is an increasingly exciting source of ideas, stimulation and information.

Every day, over 30 fresh articles are posted on over 100 UK food blogs, with over a dozen more on 20-odd UK beer, wine and cider blogs. Numerous specialist websites are constantly adding new content and much of the old mainstream media’s writing on food is also available online.

The only problem is keeping up. It’s all too easy to miss an article on your favourite food and all too difficult tracking down the best information when you’re looking for a particular recipe or the low-down on a restaurant.

FeedReel is here to help. We keep a close eye on feeds from UK food blogs and websites, collating constantly updated summaries of the latest food and drink writing and news.

And if you’re looking for something specific, try our Food Search, which indexes over 200 carefully chosen UK food blogs and websites.

Let us know what you think. We’d like FeedReel to grow and develop to meet your needs, making food writing and resources on the web ever more accessible and useful.
