WeGottaEat.com - Recipe Manager and Shopping List

Venture on over to WeGottaEat and you'll find a cook's perfect electronic companion. This cutely named site features a recipe manager that uses those all too familiar 3x5 cards which can be edited using drag and drop, and printed out with one click. Recipe and ingredients can be formatted to suit your needs. WeGottaEat also features the must have for every kitchen monger, a shopping list. Products can be added with a few clicks and they can be checked off as you need them. Print the list before you go to the store so you won't ever forget the milk. WeGottaEat wouldn't be anything without its social functions. Users get their own profiles where they can list, among other things, their favorite eats and share recipes with all their foodie buddies. There is one minor snag here though, only friends can share recipes with friends. The newbies will have to socialize quickly in order to share their treats. The site is free to use, though you'll have to register first.

"At the heart of WeGottaEat's Recipe Manager are familiar recipe cards. Plus we offer a complete set of tools around those cards to make managing your recipes easier...

Easily share your recipes with friends or if you have a friend with recipes, create a free account and view them all."

WeGottaEat has a user-friendly interface that works well for its target audience. This isn't aimed necessarily at technical wizards, so everything has a clean, approachable feel. The design is elegant and uncluttered. Features handle well and are practical.

We GottaEat lacks in several areas: there aren't options for more in-depth personal profiles, there isn't any public recipe forum (so only friends can share amongst each other, which sort of negates the social aspect of the site), and there is no option to automatically add ingredients from recipes to your shopping list.
