Feed your face at Open Source Food

Open Source Food
When we first wrote about Open Source Food, we said we loved the idea but the site needed some love. Well, it seems that OSF's creator, Jon Yongfook Cockle, thought the same thing because he's overhauled the whole enchilada and it's tastier than ever.

Navigation is much more intuitive and background is minimalist so pictures of the delicious dishes really stand out (warning: some of the food pictures will make you want to lick your screen). More than just a Web site, it's a social network and members are encouraged to share photos, recipes, and meal ideas . Of course, tagging, voting, and commenting are also part of the fun.

The thing we really like about this site is that there are plenty of basic recipes for novices -- butter baked cabbage, chocolate chip cookies -- along with a ton of recipes for advanced cooks. Since the site's members are all over the globe, OSF also has the international flair thing going on. Hot Thai fish curry, anyone?

Bottom line: if you can't find a fabulous recipe somewhere on this site, then you're not really trying.

CookThink: Discover recipes based on cravings

CookThink
Ever have a craving for fish, but no recipe handy for turning your craving into dinner? CookThink can help. Well, almost. The idea is that you enter an ingredient, dish, cuisines, or other keyword and CookThink will find an appropriate recipe, some cooking tips, and a list of alternate recipes that might meet your needs.

As a keyword/tag based recipe finder, CookThink is excellent. But it's a bit disingenuous to say that you can really find recipes that meet your cravings. Because honestly, when was the last time you found any recipe online that didn't require running out and picking up a few extra ingredients? And if you've got a craving for miso soup, but no miso paste in the house, there's a pretty good chance your craving will have passed by the time you get back from the grocery store.

But CookThink is still a great site. When you enter your first word, a tag cloud pops up suggesting related terms. Or you can just click the ingredient, dish, cuisine, and mood buttons for a list of suggested tags. Each recipe has an attractive photo and list of other dishes that would compliment the meal.

DonationCoder's Best of the Web 2006

DonationCoder

The folks over at DonationCoder have rounded up their top picks for 2006 in a very extensive list of 9 different categories: software, web sites, essays and debates, flash games, humor, gadgets, DonationCoder roundups, programmer stuff, and entrepreneur writing. There are definitely some good picks in there (DownloadSquad and SlashFood made their best web sites list, woot!), and some quirky ones ("Tonight show phony photo booth"), but for the most part they've done a good job covering 2006 from a geek's perspective. I still stand by my claim that "Invisible Bike" takes the cake for the best photo caption of 2006 though, and I'm glad to see that they agree.

What, fair readers, are some of your memorable web moments of '06?

Yahoo launches their food site

Yahoo Food
That's right, Yahoo now has their brand spankin' new food site up with a recipe search, restaurants, celebrity appearances, videos, and segments of the quintessential Rachel Ray and Martha Stewart. One feature I like is the "Recent Activity" area that will keep track of the latest things you've searched for, much like Amazon's "the page you made" feature. Yahoo Answers is even in on the new food fun with food questions and answers. The site's content doesn't interest me much, besides the technology in use here, but my wife will love it. My wife will download about half the recipes and make me eat most of them so I don't really have a choice, but perhaps you can save yourself if you hurry, run!

P.S. For the record, my wife is an amazing cook (and she made me say that, or she says I don't get dinner). Cheers!
