Ideas and Suggestions

XChorniX · Apr 7th, 2009, 11:15 AM

would you guys rather have one big Recipe thread or multiple ones??

like the recipes that people request, i was thinking of merging those threads into that one thread with all the recipes in it???

what do you guys think???

any other suggestions/ideas are welcomed to spice this place up, eventhough it's already been spiced up by your masalas and brilliant cooking

yeah that sounds like a good idea , but i was wondering is there anyway we can have the recipe index on the first page ? coz otherwise people will have to go through the whole 1000 pages to find a certain recipe ... what say ? I wonder if the mods can advise whats the best way forward ...

XChorniX · Apr 7th, 2009, 11:32 AM

yes we can have a index also and the threads that people open to request certain recipes, i was thinking if someone posts the recipe then that person in the same requested thread can say which page # it's posted on and also the post # so it's a bit easier for ppl to find....

good? bad? horrible???

P.S. thanks CB for ur idea

let's see what others have to say

Wouldn't it be difficult going thru the pages in search of a specific recipe unless they are listed alphabetically?

^^read the post above you and tell me if it's a good idea or not

how about listing meat recipes,rice recipes,pasta recipes,salad recipes,dessert recipes and 'others' separately?that wont need much to be listed alphabetically too.

can you please also post pics with recipes?

I think there should be three:

Entrees - Main dishes like Nihari, Paye, Biryani, etc.

Quick Fixes - this is finger food, appetizers, snacks, etc.

Desserts

three threads?

Good idea. Usually websites have it listed this way.

Sometimes its even better to divide the type of meat so:
(red meat, sea food/fish, chicken) = total of 3 threads +
one for different types of rice +
another for all sorts of pasta and pasta dishes +
vegetarian options +
one for desserts +

Total = 7 threads

if needed, separate threads for cuisines from other countries like mexican/italian/chinese BUT not really that important because these can be integrated into any of the above mentioned threads...

Another way to go around is by appetizers, entrees, and desserts, something similar to what psquared suggested.

Cheers

The reason I said three threads is to create a little organization in the recipes. Usually, our recipes are categorized by appetizer, entree or dessert. If Im looking for a dessert, why scroll through pages of appetizers and entrees? If its only dessert, I can not only find the one I want but get ideas on something different I havent tried yet.
