iFood.TV is an online video community for food lovers everywhere. It offers a social network for professionals and amateurs alike to share video recipes, tips and a lot more besides.
Unlike a lot of video sharing sites (even of the niche variety) that I have visited and spent some time at, iFood.TV puts community first, and it is the key to why it stands head and shoulders above other sites which share the same ideal.
On your first visit to the site, the amount of information on the homepage is quite daunting, with links to blogs, featured members and channels. It’s very well laid out though as within a few minutes you can find your way around very easily.
Huge Variety Of Videos Available
My first port of call was the video section where it initially lists videos in order of popularity. Straight away you can see the sheer number and variety of videos that are available on the site, including recipes, general food preparation tips and some fun ones too.
Clicking on an individual video, you can see who made and uploaded it, a description of what its about and other viewers comments on it. The videos themselves take a while to buffer but when they do they are of high quality.
One I really enjoyed was A video of Cardamom recipes by a guy named Hari.
Embedding A Recipe Video
There’s also the chance to embed the video on any blog or website if you feel its worth doing so. The following Tropical Fruit Chocolate Pudding recipe looks extremely delicious when watching in this way:-
Once registered you can read people’s profiles like
Melissa from New Jersey. The profiles are great, showing everything you could ever possibly need to know about any of the chefs or food enthusiasts on the site.
A very cool feature is the addition of various clever widgets, once of which can be used to embed all of the recent videos from your favourite contributor to any blog or website.
Enabling Budding Chefs To Create Channels
If you are in to food in any capacity, then you could spend a lot of time at iFood.TV. Budding cooks can use the site to create a truly people driven food network and become a celebrity chef, with their own online cooking TV show.
Lauren Groveman iFood TV is one such endeavour and works really well as a food channel, with a wide variety of recipes to suit most tastes.
A great site which offers something new and unique and speaks to viewers through their stomach, so success is virtually guaranteed. With an already estimated 10 million hits per month, I recommend you check the site out while its still relatively lag free.
