Cannabis Social Network ‘Kannatopia’ Is A Community For Marijuana Enthusiasts And Patients Alike

January 9, 2018

Almost 30 states in the US have either legalized or decriminalized various forms of cannabis for recreation, medical purposes, or both, despite it remaining illegal under federal law. The number of states permitting medical marijuana grew by almost 20 percent and the number of states with recreational marijuana doubled in 2016 alone – meaning that 95% of the US population now lives in a state with some form of legalized weed (including CBD). Which means that it’s high time (pun intended) for a social network for marijuana users – and Kannatopia has us covered.

dishPal.com – Share Food Pics

February 23, 2012

Social networks for foodies go from strength to strength with the release of dishPal. This new site lets you share photos of these dishes that you’re eating, and it also allows you to share food-related stories with all your friends and acquaintances. And in addition to letting you upload images of these dishes that you’re having on any night out, dishPal lets you join thematic groups. This lets you interact only with like-minded individuals, which is just great if you’re a vegetarian and the mere sight of dishes that have meat makes you feel sick. Or if you’re a diabetic, and you want to avoid these foods that could pose a threat to your health. Joining a group means that such food will be automatically filtered out for you.

For the time being, dishPal is available only for iPhone and Android, but an iPad application is also on the works and should come to light shortly.

Sites and apps that dishPal competes with directly include Biggest Menu, SnapDish and Yumalicious.

CookItFor.Us – Get Recipes Made For You

November 22, 2011

A site that’s been inspired by a very original idea, what Cook It For Us does is to let people add every recipe they see online to a list of recipes they want restaurants to make. The way this new site works, if enough people favorite a recipe then that will be made, and all the people who requested it be made will receive a direct notification when it’s ready.

The verb used to favorite a recipe on this site is “crave”. That is, just as you “like” a story on Facebook, on Cook It For Us you “crave it”. And then, restaurants “make it”.

All of the featured recipes are grouped together by category. “Seafood Recipes”, “Chicken Recipes”, “Pasta Recipes”, “Cakes”, “Vegetarian”… these and more are found on the site. And the ones that are more popular across all of the featured categories are highlighted on the homepage, for you to know what’s likelier to be made soon if you just “crave it”.

A service like this one is as interesting to customers as it is to restaurateurs. The former can get to eat dishes they could never make themselves, while the latter are ensured full attendance in these nights that would otherwise be a hard sell.

TheRecipez.com – Share Your Favorite Recipes

September 14, 2011

An online community for food lovers, The Recipez is capable of turning even those who have a very limited culinary awareness into people who were born to wear chef hats. And it’s also sure to make you feel hungry, even minutes after having had brunch, I can tell you. It brings together so many recipes (and highly-detailed photos to go with these) that no person who visits it could fail to have a more developed understanding of cuisine at the end of it all.

And what good is a community without discussions? Those who join The Recipez are allowed to rate all the dishes that are featured on the site, and also to make any remark that they think could add some seasoning to what others have chosen to share.

As good as this site is, though, it’s hardly alone in doing what it does. Yumalicio.us, BiggestMenu and a wealth of other sites are also part of the very same banquet. And I wouldn’t be surprised if someone questioned whether there’s room for yet another plate in the table or not…

No matter how hard some people try and how much they exert themselves, cooking is not for everybody.

TheyDrawAndCook.com – Illustrated Recipes For Everybody

May 16, 2011

Recipe sites are ten-a-penny, and for most people the one they end up using is an entirely subjective matter. They have mostly the same content, and present it in an identical way. Yet, there are sites that are slowly trying to break from the mould. And TheyDrawAndCook is one such site.

TheyDrawAndCook takes a more pictorial approach than competing sites by illustrating all the featured recipes in lots of different ways. Cartoons and infographic-styled images are the ones featured more recurrently throughout the site, and this means that both adults and children will get something from TheyDrawAndCook.com.

These illustrated recipes actually come from users of the site, so those among you who have the time and the will to contribute their own drawings to TheyDrawAndCook.com can do it right away. The time, the will and also the culinary knowledge, of course. The best recipes might even make it into the printed books published by the company with these dishes that people search and use more actively.

KeepRecipes.com – Store All Your Recipes

April 14, 2011

Having an online recipe box is easier than ever thanks to an application like this one. Keep Recipes will let you store just everything – the recipes belonging to your great-grandparents, the ones that you found on some new website that specializes in exotic cuisine, even the recipes that your best-loved celebrities are known to be keen on (as shared on their Twitter and Facebook accounts)… it is all the same. As long as it is a recipe, it will be something that you could store and keep safe on this website.

The site also makes it incredibly easy to browse through these recipes that make up its database thanks to the rich search interface that it has. In addition to being able to look recipes up by main ingredient and by type of cuisine, you will be allowed to find recipes by occasion. Which is far from insignificant, actually – most people I know can tell a mortifying story or two about having had to get food ready for some kind of thematic party or special celebration when they in fact have difficulty cooking a steak. Well, I do at least.

And if you need a really novel idea for a dish and time is at a premium, then simply check the suggestions that are provided on the homepage. There is enough variety to keep things reasonably tasty for everybody.

Recipefy.com – New Recipes To Try

March 29, 2011

Recipefy has been created to let those who feel the sweat forming in their foreheads when someone mentions cooking have something of a less trying experience at the kitchen.

This site resembles a social network in which recipes are openly shared among members. Any person who joins Recipefy can proceed to get the recipes shared by those who are more far more skilled when it comes to the culinary world, complete with detailed instructions for replicating them to the tee in their own kitchens. And they will also be able to share any recipe that they have in their possession.

Who knows, maybe a more knowledgeable person will see them and point out anything which was wrong with them. That can always happen. And convincing your guests to come back after a particularly disastrous dinner would not be that hard in that case – after all, it was the recipe that was wrong. You just followed the instructions to the letter.
