			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Forkd is the pet project I&#8217;ve been working on off and on the last couple of years. It&#8217;s taken a long time to get off the ground as none of us wanted to quit our day jobs <img src='http://www.folkmann.ca/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />   We&#8217;ve done this out of love, and a desire to actively participate in creating communities online.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a site for saving and sharing recipes. There are plenty of other sites that do similar things, however we have a few new features we think people will find exciting. One of them is the encouragement of remixing, or &#8220;forking&#8221; is what we call it.(Basically, a fork is a copy of a recipe, but the copy is yours to modify and changes are tracked in a family tree metaphor.) Read more about the ideas behind the site here: <a href="http://blog.forkd.com/2007/10/what_is_forkd.html">http://blog.forkd.com/2007/10/what_is_forkd.html</a></p>
<p>We&#8217;ll be adding new features as soon as we possibly can.  Go have a look: <a href="http://www.forkd.com">http://www.forkd.com</a></p>
<p>If you&#8217;re interested in becoming a Feta tester (see what we did there) drop a note into the comments and I&#8217;ll send you an invitation.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m so excited I can hardly eat&#8230;oh wait&#8230;I can always eat.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are you ever in need of inspiration as to what food matches another?  <a href="http://www.foodpairing.be/">foodpairing.be</a> is an interesting little service that highlights those combinations that make the most sense.</p>
<p>They say:</p>
<blockquote><p>Food combines with each other when they have major flavour components in common.</p></blockquote>
<p>This would be great as a massive wall chart, in fact there are probably many different information visualisation techniques that could be used for this information.  Great stuff.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.justhungry.com/">Just Hungry</a> has introduced me to <a href="http://www.chowhound.com">ChowHound</a>.  I feel like i&#8217;m the last to know with this one.  Seems like this is a community that&#8217;s been going for some time, given the response to a recent redesign.  Being new to the site, I think it&#8217;s great.  The forums are quick and easy to use, registration simple and it seems that the advice being given is useful.   I&#8217;ve only been playing with it for a day or so, but already i&#8217;ve managed to get into a bit of a running debate over whether or not <a href="http://www.london-eating.co.uk/2531.htm">Maggie Jones</a> is a good restaurant. (It is, by the way.)</p>
<p>The advice is honest and obviously given by lovers of chow. Don&#8217;t be put off by the passion, stick with it and you&#8217;ll be sure to get great advice on where to eat in just about any local.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s a massive community of food lovers out there and i&#8217;m only scratching the surface.</p>
