Cooking Up a Story

Social Bookmarking can help you discover great social media; how?  On the right-side of portlandsocialmedia.com there’s a del.icio.us link list for our tag pdxsocialmedia.  Marshall tagged a local video blog by the name of Cooking Up A Story - yeah Marshall is the first to tag pages with our del.icio.us tag! 

Cooking Up A Story is a video podcast shot here in the Northwest by Rebecca Gerendasy.  Cooking Up A Story is about food, recipes, good stories and community.  I’m a foodie that cooks less then I would like, so I’m fascinated by shows on the Food Network and other video podcasts about food; I’m drawn to shows about where a certain ingredient comes from, the history of  it, how it can be used in cooking, etc.  Ok, now I’m hungry, but not hangry.

The latest episode of Cooking Up A Story is Making Berry Delicious Pies.  Rebecca does a superb job of editing her shows to tell the story of the food; the quality is very high and the audio is perfect; aside from the quality, the flash player used on the blog makes it easy to navigate the latest food adventure; there’s a nice drop-down that gives a brief description next to each show, and a Director’s Journal proceeds each show giving an excellent synopsis with screenshots in case you have not made up your mind to watch the show or not.

Cooking Up A Story is fun, informative, engaging, and just niche enough to draw a great community of food lovers.  Check it out!
