Launch of Professional Recipes

Hello everyone,

I’m proud to “officially” announce the launch of the new www.professionalrecipes.com, or simply Professional Recipes. At 12:01 am on February 1st, 2008 the new version of the website launched, but there is much work to be done still.

I wanted to develop a content-rich website that offers gourmet and homemade recipes, information on cooking including articles and “how-to’s”, allow visitors to submit their own recipes, cooking tips and provide a place for interaction and comments.

We’ve included links to submit articles and content pages to Digg, Del.icio.us, Reddit, and StumbleUpon. Feel free to Digg pages or bookmark them for future reference.

The site features:

- Featured Recipe – a recipe chosen by myself to be displayed prominently on the site and allow it to be voted on by visitors. Ratings will be included with each recipe in our index to give visitors an idea of what others thought of it.

- Great Articles and How-to’s – information on cooking, choose the right cookware, wonderful How-To’s and more.

- Submit Your Recipe – submit your own recipe to be included in our index or as a candidate for the Featured Recipe.

- Discussion and Comments – utilize this blog to comment on posts, articles, the Featured Recipe, or the Community Project.

- All Recipes – browse our recipe categories for great recipes, which we’ll be adding to constantly as time goes on.

I hope that you enjoy the new site and continue to visit and stop back for more great cooking or recipe ideas!

The First ProfessionalRecipes.com Blog Post

Hello everyone,

Welcome to my blog! This is the blog for ProfessionalRecipes.com and part of “phase 1″ of the latest incarnation of my website. Although I am familiar with blogging, this is the first time I’ll be blogging regularly (or as much as possible). While there is still lots of work to be done, this will serve as a place of information on the site, updates, interesting recipes, information about food and drink and any other topic that I feel pertain to the site and the community that I am hoping to build.

While the new site is not yet complete, it is very close and most likely by the time anyone reads this, it’ll be up and running smoothly. For those who have been to ProfessionalRecipes.com in the past, you’ll be surprised at the newest version of the site once it is completed. I’ve tried to go “web 2.0″ (or as close as possible) with a simplistic design, more recipes, etc. As time goes on, I’ll add new features to work towards the goal of a truly interactive community of sharing recipes, posting comments, messages, groups, etc. A lofty goal indeed!

For those who are new to ProfessionalRecipes.com, thank you for visiting the website. I hope you enjoyed your visit and found something of use. I encourage feedback about the site and the blog here (feel free to post a comment on either). Perhaps you found this blog first, if so, please take a look at the main site if you are interested in that sort of thing and let me know what you think.

That’s about it for now. Stay tuned for more information and I’ll do my best to keep you updated! Glad to be aboard the wordpress.com ship, looking forward to the ride!
