Hey!
I'd like to ask your opinion on a new feature.
Recipes
At the moment, recipes are hidden in the forum. I don't think an outside visitor would be able to find them intuitively. To fix this, I'd like to propose a separate recipe area, specifically designed for displaying recipes. A big link at the top of the site 'Recipes' would point to the following page:
http://sourdough.com/recipe
Also, try creating a recipe: (must be logged in)
http://sourdough.com/node/add/recipe
I think a big thing is that there's currently no way to organise recipes by type ( Levains, Olive Breads, General food, etc.) I think deeper categories would help greatly, instead of sorting recipes by 'last reply' as the forum does.
These pages are just a sketch and existing recipes haven't been loaded in yet. I'd really like to know what you all think about this new area. Especially how you'd like to display the recipes. For example, if you take a look at the "Butterfly Soup" recipe, the page is broken down into 'Ingredients', 'Instructions', 'Additional Notes' etc. It could be a lot simpler, letting the recipe author control their own sections. The new recipe area will also make it possible to show recipes on the front page.
BTW. Is the Summary feature, that multiplies the amount of ingredients, necessary?

of locating recipes is GOOD. Thanks for making our lives easier, Maedi.
Sometimes, we share a recipe in the middle of a thread. Should we add the recipe to the new section instead? Or link?

Linking to a recipe in a post is also a good approach, or just pasting the recipe in both places.
TP, is the feature that multiplies the recipes ingredients, useful?
I like (to play with) that.
