Hello Outriders!

This week we have a buffet of delights as we take a look at food online. Now, I know we've certainly been in the kitchen before on Outriders but as the web changes and people innovate, there's always something new to look at and possibly taste!

On the podcast this week I started with a light bite. Antony Jones runs a twitter account where he encourages others to make simple meals and describe their recipe in 140 characters or less. Can you do that with your favourite meal? It's no mean feat, but it does make us think about simple but tasty food in the .

From short courses then to fine dining. If you like a challenge in the kitchen you'll be pleased to know that you can now access some of the top chefs who run restaurants in the UK and even try out their recipes.

Cooking at home is quite different to watching professional chefs on TV. I tend to create an enormous mess in the kitchen and well, not everything goes according to plan. It's reassuring that I am not the only one of course and proof comes in the shape of one of the first online cookery video series - . I caught up with Lenny White, who creates the show for the web with her husband Waz.

Of course if you're not feeling up to the trials of the kitchen you can always go out to eat. The vision you may have of a food truck could be one of a burger van outside a nightclub, but gourmet seems to be the way for food trucks in the USA. Bill Moore of the podcast and website knows exactly where to find the best east on four wheels.
