Epicuriouscom Collaborates With Juice Wireless on Epi toGo A FirstofitsKind...



January 20, 2005 -- Epicurious.com the premier food Web site, has teamed up with mobile data services market leader Juice Wireless to create and build Epi to Go, which launches January 19th. This revolutionary new feature will modernize grocery shopping by offering Epicurious.com readers the capability to download over 18,000 recipes from Bon Apptit, Gourmet, and other sources directly to their mobile phones.



Time-starved consumers can say "so-long" to cumbersome shopping lists. Now the convenient and user-friendly Epi to Go feature allows consumers to send recipes to their phone or PDA by simply clicking on the "tag for Epi to Go" button on the Epicurious.com site. With this free service, the user can tag as many or as few recipes as she likes. Once the user is ready to shop, she simply launches Epi to Go on her handset and retrieves her saved recipes. For any recipe, the shopper can view a complete ingredients list as well as preparation instructions.



Epi to Go ushers in a new era of connectivity and personalization in the wireless sphere. Along with the recipes, the user has access to recommendations and special offers related to the chosen recipe. For example, users can find the perfect wine to go along with Pan Seared Tuna with Ginger-Shitake Cream Sauce, or view special offers on tuna and shitake mushrooms. Both consumers and marketers benefit from this targeted advertising. For the first time ever, marketers will be able to deliver ads specific to the items the consumer is shopping for, while the consumer is actually shopping. And consumers save money, without wasting time clipping coupons.



"Epi to Go delivers on the vast potential of mobile data services with a truly revolutionary and useful product," says David Herman, CEO of Juice and creator of Epi to Go. "Grocery shopping is something we all do. Using a mobile phone to make it easier to get everything I need and save money and time in the process is something which truly delivers on the vast promise of mobile data services," Herman adds.



"Epicurious.com is the premier food resource on the Web - with a database over 18,000 recipes from Bon Apptit, Gourmet and other sources," says Susan Rerat, Senior Vice President and Managing Director of Epicurious.com. She adds, "We have always embraced technology to create the best experience for our millions of loyal users. Our users, mostly women, all have cell phones and want to use every convenience to save time and money, without sacrificing quality whether cooking for their families or entertaining. Epi to Go is a great service to our readers and an important addition to our site"
