Yahoo to Launch Web Site Devoted to Food

[bobothecat]

Yahoo! has a site up for nearly every interest--pets, astrology, finance and cars are all well-represented. Yet until Thursday, the Internet portal didn’t have a home for food lovers.

Now it does. Yahoo! Food will feature recipes, videos and restaurant reviews, says Deanna Brown, general manager of lifestyles at Yahoo! (nasdaq: YHOO - news - people ). The site will cull videos and recipes from several food content brands, such as Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia (nyse: MSO - news - people ), as well as posts from 13 food bloggers and one new Web-based cooking show.

Well there is certainly demand for it...

Yahoo! already gets more than 1.5 million food-related search queries every day.

Quote from Forbes.

I guess most of the searches are for recipies.

I guess most of the searches are for recipies.

Truly, many searches are for "recipies" instead of recipes.
