RecipeSource
January 09, 2007
Regular FamilyFirst readers know how I feel about cooking. I LOVE it! I particularly enjoy creating delicious low fat meals on the grill. But I'm certainly not averse to cooking in the kitchen, either.
Today's FamilyFirst site is all about recipes. Here's their mission:
While RecipeSource may be one of the newest recipe sites on the Internet, we're also one of the oldest. Our collection was started in 1993 by Jennifer Snider when she discovered the wonders of Usenet newsgroups & Internet mailing lists as a student at the University of California at Berkeley. She started saving recipes posted to those sources and soon amassed thousands of recipes. When her friends found out about the collection, we encouraged her to put them on the web, and she agreed, provided we helped her. After several months of hard work, the recipes first appeared on the web in 1995 as SOAR: The Searchable Online Archive of Recipes.
Did you catch that? They have 70,000 recipes! They are indexed according to ethnicity and type of dish.
Looking for some fine Armenian food? I found Armenian rice, with butter, egg noodles, and chicken stock. Delicious!
Do you like chili? They have 673 recipes for chili alone!
Coolest of all, the site isn't loaded down with excessive bells and whistles. In fact, the recipes come up as preformatted text, perfect for easy printing.
So check out the site and find your perfect recipe! I'm starting to get hungry . . .
