TMC is a new recipe website, built by a web developer, who just so happens to enjoy cooking. For the men out there who like to cook, The Men's Cookbook will always be here to save your recipes. It's a community cookbook wiki. Edit an existing recipe or save your own recipe, upload photos, and share it across the web. And Ladies... check out the Womens Cookbook. It's looking for a few good cooks, too!
The Men's Cookbook currently has 42 Recipes ranging on everything from Grilled Cheese to Veal Spezzatino to Tom's Mojito BBQ Sauce to Growing Your Own Basil. If you'd like to add a recipe, just follow the directions below. If you're looking for a recipe, just type in chicken, fish, soup, BBQ, pulled pork, chicken soup, lasagna, or whatever and click search, and see what we have in the ball park.
Maybe you don't know what you want, but you need an idea. Click the random page link at the top of any page. Add as many images as you like of each dish. Have at it, and have fun. Hope you enjoy our wiki cookbook for men.
How to add your own recipe & notes
- Type in a recipe name at the top of any page
- Click "Go"
- If the recipe doesn't already exist, click on "Create this page"
- Add your recipe using our simple Word like editor (see how to edit a recipe)
- Click "Save"
- Revisit your recipe any time at "http://www.menscookbook.com/your_recipe_name"
- Still not easy enough? I'll do ya one better. Email anything you want posted to the Men's Cookbook to Tom(@)MensCookbook.com, and I'll post it for you. If you have pictures, send those too. If I made it any easier, I might as well cook it for you.
How this thing basically works
Feel free to add a recipe to our cookbook wiki. Enter a recipe title at the top of any page, click GO, then click on Create this page. Add YouTube/Google/etc videos to any recipe, upload unlimited images, discuss existing recipes, create your own profile page, and more. Cut and paste recipe templates to make formatting your recipe a little easier.
We'll be adding more and more recipes over time, but we'd also like your help, too. Follow the simple instructions below to learn how you can add your recipes, to our your website. If we don't have a feature that you think would be helpful, send Tom a message and ask for it.
"Cook a man a fish, he eats good for a day. Teach a man to cook fish, he eats good for a lifetime." --Tom 18:43, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
Examples
- Grilled Cheese - recipe on how to make good ol grill cheese.
- Grilled Cheese Page Setup - Follow this link to see the text used to format a page.
- Guide on how to format a page
- Quick Recipe Templates - Quick cut and paste markup to structure your recipe page.
- Of coarse you don't really need to do anything but cut and paste into a page. If you have trouble formatting it, someone else will come along and clean it up.
Content is King - Add your recipes and tips, and help a brother out. The more we get, the more we have to offer. By 2010 I hope to have over 300 recipes, tips, tricks, gardening, and any other manly nonsense deemed necessary to know.
