recipes2share

I have lived in Paris for some years now and before that a little nomadic around Europe. I'm a Home Economist and am passionate about the love of food & cooking.

Culinary Artistry by Andrew Dorneburg, worth buying?

I have both books but it is The Flavour Bible which I regularly use...and wouldn't be without it for ideas and inspiration!

Cookbook recommendation

The Silver Spoon is brilliant - straight forward and covers most fresh (main) ingredients you could probably think of!

Tastespotting

I read a 'similar' discussion recently on who owns blog comments once submitted for publication. There was no conclusive answer to this discussion, but perhaps a similar thread? It would be really interesting to discover the answer to both.

ACCESS PROBLEMS

I believe I now have the correct settings on my firewall not to block IP addresses that may be similar to those who hacked in. Please try again and let me know if it is OK.

As for foodgawker.com being a more 'polished' site - I presume this means less cluttered' ? Please remember chaps that recipes2share is actually an on-line foodie magazine with hundreds of recipes, articles and book reviews. Our photo gallery is one integrated element, not the sole purpose of the site.

ACCESS PROBLEMS

It looks like some people are having problems accessing the site. This is due to our firewall - as you will know, we have been attacked recently so have tightened up the firewall but may have gone a little too far!. Could I please ask those who are experiencing problems to try again and if still blocked let me know the exact message you are getting (I have changed the generic message to make it more specific). This way I can get a clue as to what the problem is and get it solved for you. THANKS. Fiona.

I can't say how sorry I am for all this...right now i still can't give a full answer but I do understand what is happening & I CERTAINLY don't want visitors blocked! Please understand that this security was a necessary move because we had a dreadful week with hackers last week, but it does seem to have gone a little mad(??) ..talking about the fire wall. I have passed this to my webmaster (my loving hubbie) and we will consult with the security company...I want your visits!! Please stay with us, we are GMT+1 in Europe so a different time zone. I do take all this seriously & personally as have dedicated quite a chunk of my life to the website and i want to SOLVE problems, not provide them. Please, I just ask for a little space to try & solve this problem which is equally as irritating to me as I still cannot understand why we were targeted by hackers and with this I suppose they still think they are winning???

sorry, I'm being impolite..

I would lilke to say many thanks for all the kind words of support we have received and we really appreciate your time to do this via the forum & in personal emails. As I said, this is non-commercial & there is actually nothing in it for us other than a passion for food & cooking (& a load of extra work!).

I'm sorry if you are having problems & we will look further into it, though many hundreds of entries to the site are continuing but I do need to know if there is a problem.

To answer an earlier question, i am saddened that we do need this firewall and even more saddened that hackers have and do feel it necessary to deface and destroy the site - its a non-commercial foodie site.

Neither the website nor the security around it are things we take lightly.

Hi,
The site has security protection and right now i can't give you a full answer but if your server alloactes random IP addresses then it may be because this is a blocked address. I research further at this end, but unfortunately this protection is seesntial.

Tastespotting - what happened?

Well, as I promised yesterday we have an alternative set up and working. I received many positive comments yesterday so all I can do is ask you to have a look and if you like it please submit your photos & blog links.

The home page has a new link :

I'm really excited about this, I loved tastespotting - lets give it a go and try to re-create a similar fun facitiy & I look forward to seeing all your beautiful food!

Tastespotting - what happened?

yes, I put up that post & we are working on it right now - I loved tastespotting & this was a back burner idea we were working on. I have been having lots of positve feedback. If you mail me I will let you know directly as soon as work has finished and it is up & running.

Tastespotting - what happened?

I've had positive respopnse, so we are working on it right now. If you email me via the site I will mail directly when its up & running, hopefully within a couple of days...

Vacation destinations with a kitchen.

I agree, a set of sharp knives. theer is nothing more irritating than not having these!

Tastespotting - what happened?

Hi, I run an in-site photo gallery & our webmaster has said we can open this in a similar way that tastespotting did. If you are interested in this have a look at the current facility - Gallery- at recipes2share.com If you are interested in this then please contact me....it will be set up immediatley if the demand is there!

I feel as if I'm beginning to spam the site - its not my intention!!

I received a lot of positive feedback yesterday when I offered to host a similar facility to the sadly closed tastespotting. We have worked hard & have one up & running, though obviously empty right now.

Please come & visit and if you do like what we have created then join in and lets try & fill the void. Tastespotting was really fab & had a huge data bank - lets work together to try and create a similar good quality resource.

Days are early & though we have tested & re-tested, glitches do happen. If you find one please let me know & we will put it right.

Happy viewing & I really look forward to getting to know you
