Here’s the scenario: You’re an average Jane or Joe that’s up on all the latest gadgetry but you’re just not a lexicon for recipes. So you go to the grocery store with your iPod Touch in hand. You’re listening away to some shopping tunes when you realize you have no idea what you’re looking for or why you even came to the store. All you really know is that you’re hungry and the road to satiation is a long and confusing one. Enter startcooking.com, a cooking website geared towards the portable wireless media market. The website features cooking tips and techniques, as well as video clips and recipes, all designed with cellphone and iPod surfing in mind.
The site comes courtesy of Kathy Maister, a former home-ec teacher from Boston. Realizing the potential of the handheld market, Maister sought to make a mobile cooking site a reality. She had to look no further than her husband, David Maister and the people who created his own site, a web design team by the name of StressLimitDesign. Working together they were able to establish a successful cooking repository that boasts over two hundred thousand visitors each month. Aside from cooking tips and recipes, startcooking.com offers a free subscription to the site’s videoblog. Available through iTunes, the videoblog has a back catalogue of over 40 recipes.
