China may boast one of the world’s greatest cuisines but that doesn’t mean some expatriated gourmets don’t long for home cooking. Who hasn’t dreamed of an Italian risotto, some crawling French cheese, a Swiss chocolate bar, a spoonful of handmade American peanut butter, or British-Indian inspired chutney? For those of you who admit to these cravings and more, follow the link to Food411.com, the ultimate Web food resource. Here you’ll find everything and anything related to the art of eating, including online suppliers of gourmet foods, breads, coffee, wines, spices, as well as recipes, cooking lessons and even food blogs. But Food411.com provides more than a directory of reviewed and tested links to food-related websites, it uncovers unique gift ideas: unusual kitchen tools and products for the home. Of course, the most practical advice is left unsaid at this website: spend less time on the Internet and more in the kitchen.
