Food Network Launches Food.com Beta

It used to be that you’d type in food.com and it would take you to the Food Network site. Not anymore!
Though there are links all over the site forwarding people to the Food Network site, food.com (which is still owned by FN) is being repurposed to “a handy little application that lets you search for, and store, recipes from all over the web in one place.”
Personally I think this is fantastic. I’ve got so many random bookmarks I never give a second thought to that having them all in one spot is very appealing. I also like that you can upload your own recipes to your virtual recipe box!
There’s a FAQ that takes you through the basics of getting started, how to search, work the recipe box and manage your own recipes.

I’ve been using RecipeBridge.com for the past 6 months now and it is the best way to find recipes. They have recipes from every major cooking websites; Epicurious, Kraft, as well as lots of great smaller ones; Maine Lobster, Beef Council, etc…
They also have a very handy way to enter Ingredients and Find Recipes
Supercook.com does this as well since 2007. Matches any arbitrary number of ingredients to 3rd-party recipes, and I think it makes entering ingredients far easier than either Recipebridge or Food.com (auto-completion and other features). It also makes suggestions as to which additional ingredients would enable the most number of recipes for your kitchen for when you’re going to the store.
I’ve signed up and collecting all my fav recipes.
