Open Source Food: a social network for food lovers
Open Source Food is a community site for food lovers and cooks, both amateur and professional.

Registered users can upload images and recipes, comment on others' recipes, ask questions, or add suggestions. Open Source Food is like a Web 2.0 cookbook, and we mean that in the best possible way.

This might be of interest to you. There're several food-related social networks out there, some quite popular. Bon Appetit of June (p. 36) lists (in this order) http://www.foodcandy.com, http://www.bakespace.com and http://www.extratasty.com. If I got my facts straight, bakespace is the oldest one.
