Chefs on Twitter, the lowdown
Posted by: | CommentsFollowing chefs on Twitter is one of our spare time secret pleasures. It’s great to keep a finger on the pulse of what’s happening in their kitchens, view real time photos of their culinary creations, follow restaurant special events, score a twitter recipe, and read occasional late night drunken musings or bitchfests therapeutic venting sessions.
Caution should be used when following celebrity chefs, as unfortunately there is a pathetic ongoing trend toward the creation of fake or impostor chef twitter accounts. For instance there is a fake Eric Ripert (the authentic account is @AvecEric), multiple fake Jamie Olivers (the real Jamie is here) , and a fake Food Network Chef Michael Smith (authentic Michael here).
Depending on the chef, some accounts appear to be not the actual chef, but their staff tweeting. It’s quite easy to tell this after a bit of tweet watching. Our favorites include chefs such as Rick Bayless that actually get twitter, interacting frequently with their followers.
The Savory Tv Delicious Chefs list includes not only celebrity chefs, but many lesser known talented chefs as well. Did we miss someone special? Let us know in the comments. Enjoy!

Posted by: | CommentsPhotoshop geek? Oops sorry enthusiast we mean? Foodie or food lover? If so you must see this. Shared from our friend Liza, aka @skeeterNYC, she is one of our favorite foodie filmmakers and the host of Food Curated. This is a brilliant video made in “stopmotion” for the competition AdobeYouGC featuring butter cookies with the new “Adobe Photoshop Cook!”
Unfortunately, or fortunately, the program is not real, but could you imagine the online culinary world if it was? The video is a creation from the very talented artist Maya Rota Klein.
