Gilt Taste is a Virtual Feast
If you have yet to visit, there's a deliciously gorgeous, high-end new site for the foodies mamas among us: Gilt Taste. It's like everything that's great about Gilt plus everything that was great about Gourmet.
Gilt Taste in fact is helmed by former Gourmet editor-in-chief Ruth Reichl. So not surprisingly, you'll find tips on cooking and introductions to new foods, dishes and ideas written by the in-the-knows of the foodie world, like Gourmet's Barry Estabrook and Orangette's Molly Wizenberg.

The free membership site includes an online market, giving you direct access to artisan products often only available to elite urban foodies or professional chefs. You can order stracapra (exclusive to New York's esteemed Murray's Cheese Shop), or the delectable, Philly-based John & Kira salted caramel chocolate bees.

More than an e-commerce site, you can purchase the items, read the stories of the growers and artisans involved, and learn how to prepare them. Want six live Maine lobsters plucked from the ocean and on your doorstep within twenty four hours and you want them to be sustainably caught -- and you'd also like to know exactly who caught them? Done, by the Libby family.

If nothing else, the gorgeous photos and exotic items make for mighty tasty web surfing. - Barbara
