It occured to me that there might be a consensus for the need of a Recipe Forum on this site, particularly with the food-intensive Holidays coming up. The recipes already on various threads are likely to disappear into the "bowels" of this website and new members won't know that they exist unless somebody bumps them up to the first or second page.

Rocks will need some idea of the desire for this, along with features you would like such a forum to have. I would like a list of recipes available, along with a search feature.

Anyone else?

I think it's a great idea--it could be set up like The Intrepid Traveler subforum, with threads about appetizers, veggies, fish & seafood, meat, poultry, different ethnic topics, desserts, baking. Why the hell not?

It's beyond the scope of the site, at least as I understand it (not that my understanding is important ). "Intrepid Traveller" was really pushing it, too, IMHO.

eGullet still exists for stuff like this. Why not use it?
