It didn’t occur to me how much I loved food until I found myself sacrificing sleep at night to watch Mario Batali square off against random challengers on re-runs of Iron Chef America. Clearly very few things bring people together more seamlessly than a good meal, so it makes perfect sense to have a social networking site for individuals who love to cook and explore great new recipes.
At GroupRecipes.com, users, or Foodies as they are known on the site, first complete a quick survey to determine how much they like certain ingredients, ranging from poultry to mustard. This feature helps to connect users based on their tastes and culinary interests, as well as directing them to new recipes that they might enjoy. True to its name, the site’s primary purpose is to allow visitors to upload their own favorite recipes (with accompanying mouth-watering photos) for others to browse and prepare in their own homes.
In addition, Foodies can rate the final product, as well as leave comments on how delectable, or revolting, the dish was. There is also a complimentary TV feature that allows users to watch professional cooks prepare quick and easy dishes from start to finish, giving useful techniques to ensure safe and proper cooking. The “Places” feature allows users to submit and search for popular restaurants and eateries in their community, making it a great resource for getting to know a new city or exploring an old home town.
Bottom line, whether you are a complete novice who doesn’t know pasta from potatoes or wheat germ from wheat bread, or an expert chef just looking for a like-minded master/mistress of the spatula, this site will almost certainly tickle your taste buds!
