I know I get a little bit of traffic on this site, so all of you visitors that come and go please feel free to add your own recipes. You don't need to create an account to do that, this site is completely free to use. If you start using the site more it will give me motivation to continue developing new features. One thing I would like to be able to do is allow you to create accounts if you like that allow you to create sets of your favorite recipes, or to rate recipes. So, please, start adding your own recipes, the more you add the better the site will be overall and more people will use it, making it even better-- And then I'll start writing more code to make it even better! So you see, the success of this free service is up to you. Thanks!

The site has been functioning for a while now, but I thought I'd mention it on the front page here. You may add recipes using the "Add New Recipe" link on the left. I've spent a lot of effort trying to make the recipe submission process as intuitive as possible. If you have any suggestions, please email them to me.

The site now has basic functionality, you can add new recipes and browse through the current listings. The Search page will be working soon.

The big hold up has been the database installation not behaving. This has been fixed, and progress will continue. Sorry for the delay.
