Do you like the idea of an online community devoted to cooking? You must -- you're reading Slashfood. There's a new site you may want to add to your bookmarks: Mixing Bowl.
Mixing Bowl has just been launched by Meredith, the same corporation that owns Better Homes and Gardens. Mixing Bowl is a community hub devoted to cooking. All skill levels, interests and needs are welcomed and seem to be encouraged. Cruising the site, I noted heavy populations of "dinner in a hurry" working folk, healthy eaters and those who are trying to be, and baking enthusiasts bent on destroying the efforts of the healthy eaters (the most active group when I was on the site was "I Only Eat Sweets," which won my heart instantly). Cooks are organized into groups, which once you log in (free, and your Better Homes and Gardens log-in doesn't work, or at least mine didn't) you can join. Two categories I liked were cooking for beginners and cooking for two; both areas that can be underserved for individuals looking for that content.
