I found a new cooking community online. It's a bit like My Space, but the focus is on food and cooking.
Food Pals is a neat new space put together Ron Douglas. He's the author of several cookbooks including America's Most Wanted Recipes.
I just happened across Food Pals and thought it was a great idea.
You sign up and can find loads of new recipes or add your own. You have a personal cookbook where all your recipes store as well as any that you click. It's so easy to forget where you found a recipe. Then you want to make it and can't locate it. The cookbook feature is great. The recipes are saved and ready when you need them.
When you sign up you even get a free e-cookbook, "World's Finest Quick & Easy Recipes: 197 Surefire Dishes in Under 30 Minutes." I'd been curious about e-cookbooks, so this was the perfect chance to test drive one. Quick and Easy is a nice collection. I'm looking forward to trying out some of the recipes soon.
Once a member (and it's free), you can unload photos. I already put up a couple. It's really easy to do. And, it's fun to have photos up to show family and friends. It's also neat to see what the other members look like and to see their families and recipes cooked up.
The best thing about Food Pals is that it's a warm and friendly place. Although the focus is on cooking and food, Food Pals is much more than just a recipe excange. It's a family of folks who love to cook and eat but also have many other interests as well.
