23 Delicious Food and Drink Related Websites
The internet is a fantastic resource for anyone who has a passion for food. There are thousands of recipe websites available for those who want to try something new, and photo blogs where users simply share a picture of what they are eating. Ordering food through the internet has become very popular too as it allows people the opportunity of purchasing obscure foods they can't find locally. There are some great discounts for those who purchase bulk orders too.
So foodies the world over, love turning to the world wide web for all their food related needs. Today we will be looking at 25 interesting food and drink related websites that are sure to inspire you.
2. Food
One of the largest recipe websites on the web with over 400,000 recipes. Food.com has a minimalist design that packs a lot of information into a page.
3. Chocablog
Chocablog is a regularly updated chocolate blog that features news, reviews, recipes and a shop. It has a mouth watering design that boasts a featured slider post on the home page and a traditional blog sidebar.
4. C & C Coffee Company
An interesting design that features a flash based navigation header that shakes menu items around as if they were hanging by string.
5. Mealeo
An easy to use website that walks you through how you can place a food order and have it delivered to your home.
6. Burger King
Burger King has a design that is both fun and practical. The site features 3 sliders at the top of the page: Fun, Food and BK®. By moving a slider from - to + the main content changes accordingly. For example, by moving the fun slider to the right you will see information for the BK Facebook page, BK Club for kids and frozen drinks. Moving the food slider brings up hamburgers and fries etc.
The great thing about the sliders is that you can include 1, 2 or 3 sections. The icons simply get smaller to make room for more information.
7. Ben & Jerry's
As you would expect from Ben & Jerry's, their website doesn't take itself too seriously. It's fun, colourful and animated but is still packed with lots of information about their ice-cream.
8. FoodSpotting
A great service that lets mobile users take pictures of their food and share it with the world. Other users can then search through the FoodSpotting website or mobile application by location or by type of food. One of the more inventive ways that a developer has integrated Google Maps into their service.

ohhh I fell hungry ;)
Love this list! One of my favorite recipe sites is FoodGawker.com, awesome resource
Delicious list – I’d hope though that my blog (Mostly About Chocolate) much like Dom’s (Chocablog) is more delicious than Dominos! This is quite the sweeping and comprehensive list though, spanning a number of categories and hitting a personal fav – Ben & Jerry’s (but not a favourite of my waistline whose expansion is partially their fault!).
The C & C Coffee site is especially beautiful though :-)
Thanks so much for this amazing resourse list.
It’s Awesome! All the preparation listed here is very attractive. These are really some nice sources about food and drink related website. Thanks for sharing.
