What is Group Recipes? In their own words:
Group Recipes wants to be the world’s neatest food site. From meeting other food lovers to nifty recipe predictions and taste compatibility, Group Recipes has your grub needs covered. The project’s goal is to harness the tastebuds of the masses to create a really useful resource for food lovers.
- Discover great recipes in unique ways
- Create your own food page
- Have “Roger” the Recipe Robot (aka Food Prediction Algorithm) learn about your tastes and predict recipes you will like or dislike
- Show off your personal creations and get feedback as well as honors
- Meet other foodies (aka food lovers) and see what kind of foods they are into
- Share & Discover great places to eat in your home town
- Stem the flow of boredom by using the “Recipe Stumbler” to explore recipes related to your favorite foods. (This is a great feature if you’re stuck in the office all day and need to waste as much time as possible.)
- Explore food by taste, mood, photo, ingredients, uniqueness, rating, and your compatibility
- Organize your recipe collection with the Recipe Manager
- Join/Create a Group of like-minded foodies
- Experiment and collaborate on a dish with other members
- Create your own food TV Show!
- Learn how to be a better cook by osmosis. No promises.
This site is well designed and very robust. I expect the site will continue to be one of the leading social networking sites for foodies. In fact, I’m on my way there now to sign up. Hopefully my ‘Bold Foodie’ name hasn’t been snagged yet. Seeya there!
Food too hot for your worst enemy

Several people have suggested that “Bold Food” should stand for “spicy food” so to satisfy those of you who may have wandered onto Bold Food looking for some food so spicy that it might burn a hole in the top 
of your head here’s an article for you. It’s on the AskMen.com website and entitled ‘Hellishly Hot Meals‘.
Forgive me for even noticing, but do you think AskMen.com placed the Hellishly Hot Meals article just after their ‘4 Seduction Meals‘ article designed to seduce a woman, as a sort of Plan B (Hellishly Hot) if Plan A (seduction) doesn’t work?
