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.

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.
