The First of Many

Welcome to Fooditorial!  Since this is the first post, we'd like to elaborate on what we wish to accomplish with this site and our goals for the future.  This site will be an outlet for all things food be it recipes, appliance and utensil reviews or food events.  We will start out with recipes and reviews of food products and hopefully branch out into reporting on food events and upcoming food news and trends. We here at Fooditorial believe that our busy lives do not automatically translate into preparing unimpressive food!  We feel that we just have to cook smarter and that is why Fooditorial exists. We have a lot of exciting plans we want to share with you, but like cooking, things will take time and will need to be properly prepared before going to the next step....
