Craving Cookthink.com – The Really Useful Recipe Website

27 February 2008 Leave a Comment

Still in beta & dubbed as the Pandora for Recipes, I’m indeed craving this new recipe-finding website. Cookthink.com. Users enter search terms based on their craving of the moment… or planned craving. In my case, it would be more often a case of “what do I have to work with in my fridge and pantry” but it would work the same way.

I entered sundried tomatoes as my first keyword. Then added chicken and olive as two additional keywords. I got a wonderful Pan-Seared Chicken With Two Olive Tapenade And Sundried Tomato Cream recipe. Don’t know that I would have all the ingredients for that on hand (I’d be missing the cream) but i would definitely be bookmarking this one.

The site is extremely user friendly and smart. You can see that the creators put some real thought into developing their site: handy tips and accompaniments to the highlighted recipe appear alongside it. User reviews should appear shortly once the site gets a bit more traffic.

Some things still need tweaking. The keywords do not always bring up relevant results. Earlier on today, a keyword search for Chicken, onions and herbs revealed a recipe for mussels. Huh? I think that Chicken got mistaken for chicken broth. I’m sure that this kind of thing will be fixed soon.

Still, I’m thinking that this will be my new go-to online recipe resource.
