Now you guys know that we don’t generally review websites, or the likes there of, but there is a new site that I think is worth checking out: Group Recipes. It’s a community built around the food-oriented individual, such as ourselves. (I assume if you’re on this page, you’re food-oriented!)

Group Recipes has some really great features like the ability to “stumble off this recipe”. It’s basically the same general concept behind Stumble Upon or the FoodblogBlog Blog Hop but it stumbles to other recipes that are vaguely related to the previous one. Very fun. When you are searching through recipes the site “remembers” your five most recent views in a little tab-esque window situated in the top right corner of the page. That way it’s not a pain in the butt to go back and search out the recipes that you’ve previously looked at. You can review recipes in your area and read other members’ reviews, which i dig since these people aren’t being paid for their opinions. (for some reason I just can’t get into reading opinions I feel are “sponsored” in some way) One of the very best parts of the whole thing is the lack of ads. Now I don’t know if it will stay this way forever, but for now, they don’t have ads, which rocks. They definitely put a lot of thought into this site. The only thing that’s really holding it back right now is it’s newness. It’s a site built around the community, where all the recipes, reviews, videos and such come from its members, so until the membership climbs it’s not really going be at “full mast” so to speak. Thus this little pep talk! Get out there! Check it out!

On a separate note, but equally hot, I command everyone to check out the absolutely amazing samoa-themed cheesecake that Peabody, over at Culinary Concoctions by Peabody, made. Stunning. Truly Stunning.
