Cooking for Engineers. No more ramen!
- bootload 19y agoSomething about the colour in the images of the food was a bit off putting. If you are going to do food, the images have to nail it first time. I don't know what it is but the colour needs correcting. A white background also helps. The difference between someone really noticing a recipe and ignoring it can be greatly improved by adding good quality images. For example compare these: - http://flickr.com/photos/roboppy/sets/72157594175367381/ http://flickr.com/photos/roboppy/sets/72157594175367381/ - http://blog.cookingwithpatty.com/ http://blog.cookingwithpatty.com/ with these ~ http://www.cookingforengineers.com/recipe/154/Biscotti http://www.cookingforengineers.com/recipe/154/Biscotti Another problem I see is the lack of tools to create a community as outlined by greenspun ~ http://philip.greenspun.com/panda/community http://philip.greenspun.com/panda/community "... Add the vanilla extract, almond extract, orange zest, and slivered almonds to the egg and sugar mixture. Using a spatula, stir once or twice to combine. ..." As for the rest of the site it's actually pretty good. But I wish the recipes would suggest the best ingredients they can find. For instance real Vanilla beans instead of an extract. Read the "biscotti - starbucks quality" comments.
- rms 19y agoIf we're posting food blogs.... http://offthebroiler.wordpress.com/ http://offthebroiler.wordpress.com/ is my favorite one. The photography is incredible. You can skip the top two posts.
- icky 19y ago"No more ramen", says the philistine who hasn't ever had real ramen. :( (Real ramen comes piping hot from ramen shops (restaurants), not from 10-cent packets...)
- food79 19y agoSeconded. I went to a nice Ramen shop in Tokyo--basically amazing.

- imsteve 19y agoThe misunderstanding here is that I eat ramen because I'm that broke! Or busy. Mostly broke.
