Epicurious
- For the temple dedicated to Apollo Epicurius, see Bassae.
Epicurious is a website dedicated to recipes, cooking, drinking, entertaining and restaurants; it is one of the most prominent and notable websites of its kind. It is owned by Condé Nast.[1] The site also includes recipes from Bon Appétit magazine and now defunct Gourmet magazine.[2] The site accepts recipe contributions from readers. The name is a portmanteau of "epicure," one with discriminating tastes in food or wine, and curious, and is also a pun on the etymological origin of "epicure," Epicurus, a Greek philosopher.
Epicurious used to have a TV series on the Discovery Channel, but it no longer airs.
CondéNet launched an iPhone app[3] for Epicurious in April 2009 that allows browsing and searching recipes, the ability to save favorite recipes and build a shopping list, and later Android, Windows Phone 7[4] and iPad apps, as well.
