I just downloaded the PDF of the original paper - nice work. I would like to have the allrecipes.com data myself I am going to ask them for it.

  I just emailed allrecipes.com to ask for permission to use their data for a text mining experiment - I'll post how that worked for me :-)

    Its a good data set. I have been running it against the USDA food data for a new project I am working on. Let me know what they say and I might be able to provide it to you in a more workable format.

    It will be good to know if we could get a hold of their data - this is a fascinating experiment. While you are waiting, I just googled around and found this - http://kasabi.com/dataset/foodista http://kasabi.com/dataset/foodista - Haven't looked into it to see if it has much though :-/

> "It would be interesting to study how these are affected by the availability of ingredients and cultural influences." It would be like a window into history, but focused on food. My inner fat guy historian is very excited.

Great to see everyone's responses. If you find this interesting there are some additional people / concepts that might be of interest to you: - Marc Powell's Food Genome Project (http://dev.foodgenome.com/home http://dev.foodgenome.com/home) - Hilary Mason- building a statistical model of chocolate chip cookies (http://bit.ly/q1lk5Q http://bit.ly/q1lk5Q) - Will Turnage - re-imaging recipes with data (http://bit.ly/rgD4gd http://bit.ly/rgD4gd)
