The internet is abuzz with food photos. Search for a dish online and a thousand images pop up, some taken by professional chefs, some by bloggers or home cooks.
Platter is a new app founded by young London entrepreneur Will Hodson which tags and shares all those pictures. It is launching today — Jamie’s Ministry of Food Stratford is already using it. Once you’ve downloaded Platter (free from the App store and Android Market), you take a picture of something you’ve cooked and tag the ingredients you’ve used. If you’ve made a cinnamon bun, for example, you’d tag “cinnamon”, then anyone searching for a recipe with cinnamon will find it.
You’ll have your own profile page where your ideas will sit, you can follow people whose cooking style you like — they can follow you back — and it all comes up in a feed, just like Twitter.
Get snapping.
