Gourmet Journeys: French champagne house G.H. Mumm cleverly launched this virtual culinary trip around the world at a time when consumers with increasingly globalized palates are more inclined to prepare meals at home due to decreasing travel budgets. The vibrant site features a cookbook's worth of exotic specialties and menu items from a handful of internationally renowned culinary cities, including St. Petersburg, Paris, New York, Tokyo and Seville. In addition to downloadable recipes, dining, and entertainment tips, each menu comes with suggested champagne pairings care of Didier Mariotti, G.H. Mumm's cellar master. This website is a gem of a resource for gourmet-on-a-budget foodie affairs - or for a virtual getaway to the South of France, soundtrack included.Veggie Trader: And for those who'd rather stick to locally grown fruits, herbs, and veggies, this produce swapping site allows fledgling farmers to buy, sell, or trade homegrown produce with likeminded crop cultivators. The grassroots-style system allows members looking for local produce in their area to anonymously enter a zip code to see what's available - they can also post for specific produce to see if any of their neighbors can fulfill their requests - at which time, individual parties can negotiate an acceptable barter, trade, or point of sale.
