Google+ Cooking School is the intersection of social media and the kitchen
When Google+ debuted, we here at Tecca were delighted with?Hangouts, the new social network's dynamic video chat feature. While Hangouts have great utility for virtual office meetings and catching up with friends who might be far afield, one New York foodie had a big idea: Why not host a cooking show?
Plenty of cooking shows have?entertained popularity and even gone viral on?YouTube, but Lee Allison's?Google+ Cooking School opens up the kitchen to a group and broadcasts live. Hangouts can host up to 10 members, so each laid-back culinary session can have active participants without there being too many cooks in the (virtual) kitchen. So far, the social media culinary experiment has tackled a diverse menu ranging from from gnocchi and crab rangoon to paella.
Of course, the nature of Hangouts means his cooking show can't explode in viewership the same way a YouTube phenomenon would, but he's already looking forward.?Allison got his start on?Google+, but plans to actually launch the idea into a business venture called Social Skillet, which will necessitate that he leave Google+ for?WebEx, a paid video conferencing software tool.
To keep up with Allison's cooking school, you can follow his?Google+ profile and get social about all that simmering?and saut?ing.
