Website Review for Food and Nutrition (Zila)
Food Tube. Net
I think this is a really great website for us future F&N teachers! Recipe books may be detailed, but you may not necesarily know what or how to do. This website has video recipes which are quite interesting and easy to follow too. I think it's especially good for those with really good memory!! haha.. if not you may need to jot down the recipe for use next time.
The layout is somewhat of a blog, except this is a portal for them to blog their entries and about themselves. So it's pretty fun to browse through.
It has lists of recipes broken down into different categories. Or you may choose to search videos or photos.
This is an example of a photo recipe. This is called the Puerto Rican Breaded Steak with Shrimp.
There are positive comments by fellow FoodTube members so it's a pretty good way to gauge if you shoudl try it. The dish was also rated 3.5/5! Interesting..
I watched a video on Chinese Steam Buns and was quite impressed by the background music, added texts and voice commentaries. It was a youtube video.
It also has members so you may click on the chosen one, read about them, and look at their recipe contributions. It's really interesting what you can find. I saw a member who's called Evil Auntie and she's quite eccentric! haha..
On a whole, the website is very straight-forward, user-friendly and I would use it to look for recipes in future. (Especially for the micro-teaching!!)
Overall site ratings: 3/5!!
(I think it would be better if we could have the pictures/ videos but with text uploaded as well. so we could just print it out instead of having to copy the recipe manually.)
