View Poll Results: Should cooking have an articles section or just a forum?

**Marx** · 19th-November-2010

The CMS (the front page and articles) isn't really used a whole lot for anything except major news.

I'm thinking we could create a 'master chef' (or similarly named) are for the CMS. It could easily be placed under the off-topic area as a subsection. We already have a computing and DIY area in there, so adding a cooking area wouldn't be a problem. Clicking the 'cooking' area link would provide only the cooking related articles but clicking the off-topic link would provide you with all of them (so you could pick and choose).

Or... it could remain just as a basic forum under the General zone, as it already is.

I think it could work well as a CMS section though, a small picture to whet your appetite, with a few words of encouragement - a click later and you're presented with a fuller article on cooking with helpful hints & tips courtesy of Bmiricle (and perhaps another guest chef type of person now n' then).

To cook or not to cook,
That is the question.

Is it nobler on a forum to expose culinary horrors from outrageously expensive cook-books,
or by taking up a mate's recipe, cook, eat and be merry?

Will a man knock up a repast fit for heros,
or call for a Pizza?

Aye, but there's the rub.
Furrin' fare may not sit well late in the night,
and bring shriekish dreams and ghoulish reatches into the bog from a Texan goulash.
Nay, go lightly on the red peppers and order a vindaloo as stand-by.
It will keep for a few days in the fridge.

I think the article idea is great. Someone should get around to writing one.

A general tips and ideas structure that gives you insight to certain aspects of cooking that can be used in a variety of dishes. I'm sure I could come up with a few.

Dude I love cooking and I will spank the shit out of this thread!

Just let it evolve naturally. Once you attach too many rules and restrictions you stifle already what it could have been. Let it be down to the author to show what can be achieved in it's own unique way.

The food forum has now been given a CMS area so recipes offered can be presented as articles from the front page.

You can find it here: antimisandry.com - Food

More recipes will be given over time

Just so long as there's none of those feminist recipes, we'll be safe.

There will be none of that here I can assure you. Seeing as I'm a carnivore, and a dude.

Could I post some of my recipes as articles too? Or is it just a thing for Bmiricle to post his recipes?

**themanonthestreet** · 23rd-January-2011

Everyone is more than welcome to add their recipes to this section. The more the better..

The forum side can have any member add their recipe as TMOTS said... for it to become an article, bmircle or another admin has to do that.

I don't see how promoting them to articles is beneficial to the main purpose of AM. It would distract frontpage viewers from important matters.

Let it rip. I did not spend time at cooking school (Drysdale) just so I could make a "
Coq au vin

For my own pleasure !!

Cooking School

Actually, I probably did..

Bloodroot is definitely out..
