The Common Culinarian

I received an email a few days ago to this account, from someone at the bitchinkitchen.tv website. It didn’t quite look like spam, so I didn’t delete it right away, but figured I could have a look when I had some time.

So I took a look tonight. Of course, being this came from email, I typed the URL directly into my browser. I was pleasantly surprised, after being greeted with rich vibrant colors, and some interesting content. The site looks like it’s updated with recipes about once or twice a month, and is intended to be delivered on mobile media (notice the V-Cast ads on the left?). The rest of the content is random musings, some food related, some not.

I clicked on one of the videos for “Pissed Penne Arrabiata,” which is a 5 minute short on making Penne Arrabiata. I must say, it was very entertaining, but I didn’t see any real educational value there (i.e., there was no real recipe). Upon further examination, clicking on “Food/Drink” in the menu bar revealed the recipe. There are lots of good ideas, and some very clever recipe titles: “Bag ‘Em, Tag ‘Em French Toast,” “Deflate Your Mate Chickpeas,” and “Sex-Life Saving Shepherds Pie,” among others.

Doing some additional research, I came across this article, describing the advent and development of “Bitchin Kitchen.” Seems that it was, in fact, designed for the mobile web (score one for me!), and it was supposed to be a humorous take on foodie culture.

I enjoyed the site, a lot. Its recipes are interesting and the presentation is very entertaining. I don’t think this will become a regular-go-to-site for food or recipes–I would include this under “Just For Fun” in my blog reader–but for daily or weekly fun, this site has got it. Check out www.bitchinkitchen.tv the next time you need something interesting to look at!
