Food Geek #2

I consider myself quite knowledgeable about food. In fact I'd call myself an expert, so I was quite looking forward to reviewing Food Geek. The comic itself is a neat little package and the whole thing was clearly printed.
As the title suggests the whole things about fooooooood; one of my favourite subjects. There is quite a lot squeezed into this bite sized booklet. Recipes, recipe strips, strips involving food, restaurant recommendations... you get the picture.
As a veggie myself I was also pleased to find that a lot of the stuff was vegetarian.
Unfortunately Food Geek #2 did nothing for me. The strips were OK but they didn't amuse or inform me. The stories are pleasant enough but once again, neither highly amusing nor informative. I found the whole comic self indulgent and a strange mix of attitude and tweeness.

Food Geek #3

An immediate improvement over issue#2. This little comic about all things in foodgeekdom raised the odd smile or two and gave me a new curry recipe to try. How To Make 'Bazaarialoo' Like Carrie is a well drawn and, more importantly, clear recipe strip. Death by Soup by Billy is an entertaining short anecdote of why you shouldn't just swallow anything to impress someone you fancy. Carries ramblings are a sort of foodgeek foodblog and can be an interesting read.
Definitely worth a dollar.
