Video Review: GroupRecipes – Food Social Network
by Allen Stern on July 9th, 2007
Over the past few days I have been using a fairly new social networking tool for food and recipes. GroupRecipes is a very well crafted niche social network. Similar to RecipeMatcher (CN coverage) which finds recipes based on what is in your cupboard, GroupRecipes finds matches based on your likes and dislikes. I do wonder if there is a recipe wiki out there. I
The site includes:
- A robot that learns from what you like and dislike and makes smarter recommendations each time
- Videos – about 200 videos (wish there was an embed option)
- Friends – you can friend people and become part of their networks
- Groups – join groups based on the foods you like
- Places – check out local eateries and rate them (I think this would be better served with a partnership with Yelp)
- Recipes – yep they have these too. I like their "alteration" feature as it allows you to offer suggestions on how to improve the recipe

I’m a big fan of social networks … combine that with good food, and we have heaven! Still need to try some of these recipes to gauge how good these guys will do!
