GroupRecipes, the social networking and recipe-sharing site for foodies, came out in a beta version a few months ago, but is celebrating their official launch this month. As an added bonus for everyone who signs up (don't worry - it's free), you're entered to win $6,000 towards a brand new kitchen! The contest works like this: when you sign up, you get one entry. At the time of your registration, you can refer three of your foodie friends - bloggers, chowhounds, gourmets, etc - and you will get three entries for each one who signs up. When the contest ends on March 7th, a winner will be chosen at random and will get to spend their prize money at Home Depot, Loews or Sears!
And, because we value all your guys as Slashfood readers, you can increase your chances to win by using this link to register. When you do, you'll get five entries instead of one!
What food-lover doesn't want the chance to win a new kitchen? And even if you don't win (and we hope you do!) you'll still get to check out lots of interesting recipes and meet some great new friends.

I entered using the Slashfood link, but only received one entry. Looks like a pretty good site for foodies, though.

Only 1 entry here too, but the site is worth checking out. Don't know how I missed it the first time round...

Actually, it says "1 entry" but if you go check your entries at http://www.grouprecipes.com/mypoints/ you get the right number (5 entries)! At least for me.
Very, very cool stuff.

It counted 5 entries for me! Thanks for posting this, I would have never found out about the site and the contest. Looks like there are only 1,000 people on the site, I love those odds!
A brief look around the site, and it seems really innovative. Their "recipe robot" seems to predict pretty good recipes, and there compatibility meter thingy is fun too.

Woah. You say this site has been around? How in the heck did I miss it? This site is smart. I love their approach to exploring food.
I am now 5 entries closer to getting my Sub-Zero Fridge! I wonder if they let you spend the $6,000 at other places that sell kitchen stuff?

I took the "taste test" which is fun, but what does that help me do? I'm a bit confused.
Regardless, a new kitchen would be nice. Mine has seen better days (i.e. the 80's).

Jaymie,
I was thinking the same thing, but it actually very useful. Just go to any recipe and then they will tell you whether or not you will like it! I'm not sure how accurate it is yet, but on the face of it, it works pretty well. Great idea.
And my kitchen is old too. Embarrassingly old.

Count me as part of the "Outdated Kitchen Club". My stuff is from the 90's, but it still needs to be re-done. I would like to go all stainless steel! Sleek and sexy.
Oh I can imagine the extravagant dinner parties now...(Sigh).

I like this site a lot. I'm a daily slashfood reader, but don't recall the first post about this site. I am glad you mentioned it again Nicole.

This site is very 'Web 2.0'. Very well done. I see myself using this quite a lot to find recipes. I probably won't use the social networking aspect though.
And don't bother signing up for the contest because I'm gonna win. :)

What is "web 2.0"? I'm assuming that is good because this website is very nifty.
k-train, I don't even think $6,000 is enough for a Sub-Z. Those things are very $$$. I've got one at work, it is certainly amazing but not sure I would spend that kinda money on one for myself.
