HOT WEBSITE: CHOW

First off, this food site is owned by CNET, one of the most amazing tech websites. Second, it serves its dishes like a seven-course kingly meal, with audio and video, photos, blogs and boards. The recipes, party tips, cooking guides and reviews are twisted to the taste of a younger audience. The articles cover food, cultures and trends. There's a section on cocktail canapes and an in-depth look at milk. The video section includes dozens of tutorials, from how to cure starfish to how to fry a chicken to how to open a bottle of wine. It even has photo montages from the streets of Delhi as well as interviews of roadside 'chefs'!
