The love of cooking is a passion best served hot. Very few people who are passionate about cooking burn cold with it…it is all consuming. So what do we do to share this passion? We use social networking of course! I belong to a few foodie social networking sites like Food Buzz and Serious Eats, and yesterday I was offered the opportunity to take a look at a new one called Food Connect.

Food Connect is a light, bright, easily navigated foodie social zone. While it isn’t the huge resource Food Buzz and Serious Eats are, there is a good deal of content by obviously passionate people. An added bonus is the nutrition profile added to recipes, which is helpful for people who don’t use a program like Diet Analysis+ or recipe software.

While it is smaller, that is in itself, not a bad thing. It also means less spammyness to deal with and the ability to search recipes quickly. And there is a good mix of down home vs. upscale so no need to feel overwhelmed by millions of four day recipes. It is also free to register, the way it should be!

It was disappointing to see no recipes for homemade wines and cordials, but that is something I am used too. It only means I haven’t made my mark yet! Great wine and lovely liqueurs go hand in hand with gorgeous food so I am making it my personal mission to fan the spark that becomes your new flame.

While I have been paid to write this review (and I will ALWAYS disclose if I have been paid right within the post!) I only accept reviews that offer something I know my readers might be interested in looking at. You find reviews of the 2007 Dodge Caravan here…sorry, nor glowing reviews of the latest energy drink. But I enjoy sharing things I know my readers might enjoy or benefit from. This is one of those times. So take a look at Food Connect at FoodConnect. I would love to hear your opinions, and if you find a recipe you want to try, swing on back here and share your experiences.

Have a great weekend!
