About Us

Foodista is a collaborative project to build the world's largest, highest quality cooking encyclopedia. With your contributions, we can create a free resource that helps millions of people learn how to cook everything and anything.

Website

Foodista organizes cooking information into four linked categories:

Recipes: Combinations of ingredients.

Foods: The most basic of ingredients. Either as they are produced naturally, such as apples and eggs, or with minimal processing, such as salt or flour.
Cooking Techniques: Methods of preparing foods, such as baking, boiling, slicing, and braising.
Kitchen Tools: All the gadgets, appliances, and equipment you use to make meals, including saucepan, chef's knife, blender, and cutting board.

We Eat With Our Eyes

We emphasize the beauty of cooking with big, gorgeous pictures of food, just like you'd see in a cookbook. We get our high-resolution photos from Flickr Creative Commons , but we also encourage users to upload their own photos.

Community Editing
We believe in quality over quantity. We developed a system to let everyone edit content to make it better. Rather than have multiple versions of the same recipe.

Tools For Food Bloggers

If you're a food blogger, you'll love this! We built embeddable widgets that create automated links from Foodista to your food blog. These links will help you build traffic to your blog and improve search engine rankings.
