Food was once the providence of celebrated chefs and critical connoisseurs. Cooking shows featured all gourmet creations and web sites displayed artfully photographed delights.Then something changed.Perhaps it was the desensitizing of web culture or perhaps it was a cry for help from the food-loving public.
