As an avid cook, I'm always looking for new recipes. Sometimes, I'm looking to spice up my daily dinner and need something that will include whatever is in my refrigerator. I use Group Recipes for these situations because it enables me to do searches for different ingredients that I can incorporate into my dinner (or most often dessert) dish. I really love that it posts the newest added recipes on the first page of the site. I've gotten A LOT of my "off the cuff" dinners from those recipes posted by new users as well as the "most popular" recipes. I haven’t had a complaint thus far using this site other than those individual icon avatars take a while to load- but the wait is worth it!

Recently I stumbled upon this website called Group recipes, after looking for particular recipes had failed on other sites. When I first glance at this website I noticed that the site was very hard to navigate since it only show some of the recipe and then it asks you to register in order to see more of the product. Even after registering with this website it also offers limited recipes and facts then the other food recipe sites. I would next time compare with other recipe sites before using this site alone. With it short information this is much smaller site.

GroupRecipes.com is not one of my favorite food related websites. Poorly designed, it is somewhat difficult to navigate. Many of the recipes on this site are not particularly impressive, better versions can be found elsewhere. The “Foodies” section seemed a rather haphazard addition to the site. I can’t see myself clicking on a bunch of avatars, to see what these people like to cook, I doubt it will get a lot of use. There is a small groups section, that should more than cover the online social aspect of cooking. In general this seems to be a more socially geared cooking site, than most. It may improve with time it is only in beta version, so I will give it another chance in the future.
