Web Resource 5 - Food tube

Foodtube is the sister of youtube. I find that it is very similar to youtube in a way that people are able to posts their videos online. Foodtube videos are majority videos that are related to food, its processing, its presentation and many more. Foodtube is a shared webpage for everyone who is interested in learning how to cook, bake or basically just wanting to know the simple act of cutting.

Web Resource 4 - Potato facts

The moment I clicked on the webpage I am very interested to know more about the facts of a potato. I thought that potatoes might be very simple food that most of us enjoy. However, with unique presentation and cooking style it can have its wow factors too.
I really enjoy eating potatoes as I like its soft texture and mild taste. In the webpage there are many recipes and all the recipes have potatoes in it. As there are varieties of potatoes, it can be made into many dishes. The webpage include potato variety chart for potatoes of various categories.
Even though it is through that we often hear that consuming too many potatoes is unhealthy as potatoes contain complex carbohydrate, the webpage will teach us on healthy and balanced meal prior to potatoes.

Web Resource 3 - Baking lessons plan – Home baking association


This webpage mostly focus on baking such as the baking processes, ingredients used, decorations for baked products and baking events. From my point of view, I feel that this webpage is very useful for beginner bakers who have the interest in baking and for them to seek help from.
There are activities for baking that are held in various events such as camps for children for them to learn fun things about baking. Besides that, there are weekly activities for the whole family to be involved in. These activities will correspond to events such as Valentine’s Day, Halloween and others.
There are also resources and educational materials for educators to look into. Besides that, the webpage provide baking tips, and also many healthy recipes for all ages.

Web Resource 2 - Edible crafts online


Just by the name of the web resource makes me want to google it online. What i found in the website was an interesting, fun and creative ideas that can be done by anyone regardless of age.
I salute the creator of the webpage of ediblecraftsonline.com, Lana Glass as she is able to share with others her creative ideas to be able to produce something very unique out of food.
The web resource is also very well organised and we are able to learn a lot of things from making candy to food presentation.

Web Review - Family and Consumer Science


It is a very interesting website. There is a lot of useful info that I can get from the website itself. It also has a wide spectrum of topic from child and family development to textiles, merchandising and interiors.

The website not only caters for students but also for the community at large and consumers. The facts and information found are very clear and organise. There are a lot of interesting pictures as well.
What I like most about this web resource is for example they will give mission statement or overview of a certain department.
