If you're looking for new obscene things to do with marshmallow or if you're a cooking geek who can't stop talking about your granite countertops, then the Epicurious food forums will be your cup of tea. (You can talk about that there, too.) There are forums to whine about the over-oaking of California chardonnays and to mull over the fine differences between burps and belches. Spice up your cooking repetoire at Gail's Recipe Swap: this is food porn and intimate culinary fantasies are posted for public consumption. This site provides live chat areas and file searches where you can look up cooking terms, favorite dishes and create a wine list from the Sommelier data base. Affiliated with "Gourmet" and "Bon Appétit" magazines, Epicurious is home sweet home for dedicated foodies.-D.L.J.
