What's Cooking With iGoogle?

At Google, we're huge foodies, and most of us love spending time in the kitchen with friends and family - especially around the holidays. Particularly during this season, many people turn to Google when searching for recipes - in fact, as you'll see, Australians are searching for recipes more than every country but the US and Canada! But, in addition to spicing up your recipe repertoire, Google can be a really useful resource in the kitchen. From helping you with sugar measurements, to jump starting ideas for unique Christmas table settings, the web has made becoming a culinary master much easier.

We're excited to announce that we've partnered with a number of top chefs and food industry experts to bring you some elegant new, food-focused iGoogle themes and gadgets just in time for one of the most foodie times of the year. iGoogle is all about personalisation and freshness, and in that spirit, these unique themes are sure to delight the chef in all of us. Check out our iGoogle gallery, where you'll find some tasty new themes from chefs like Iain Hewitson and Peter Gordon, food artists like Carl Warner and James Parker, and even famous bakeries like New York City's Crumbs Bake Shop and Magnolia Bakery.


In addition to these taste bud tantalising themes, we've also partnered with top food industry names to build a suite of new gadgets for your iGoogle page. For example, Supercook lets you input various ingredients you have on hand, then gives you some great recipes you can whip up — all from your iGoogle page.

We hope this new element of gourmet iGoogle personalisation will get you even more interested in enhancing your cooking and dining experiences. Here's to some great new food with family and friends this holiday season!
