What is Cookipedia

From Cookipedia

Passion for cookery

Ever since I was a child I have been passionate about cooking. During the past 50 years I have collected masses of recipes and cooking-related scribblings. I had never been able to find a suitable repository for this information – until now: Cookipedia is born.

Independent

Cookipedia is not sponsored and has no commercial affiliation. Its editors recommend suppliers and their products, hopefully, because they had good service from them in the past. If you have a different opinion, please express it. That way, truth will prevail.

Raison d'etre

Cookipedia runs on Wiki software, so it looks and feels and operates like Wikipedia. Its goal is to be an accurate, collaborative cookery resource without being completely academic. Personal opinion is definitely welcomed as is humour.

Collaboration

Cookipedia is a collaborative cookery resource and its voluntary editors are as passionate as I am. Use the related discussion pages to communicate with each other and allow Cookipedia to grow organically.

Enhance Cookipedia

Add your own recipes or even recipe sections. Improve those recipes and articles that already exist and if you feel something is not correct, then log-in and change it. It's that simple.

Publicity

Cookipedia is non-commercial labour and takes time and money to run. Publicity is all I ask. Please spread the word.

Need assistance?

We have some rudimentary help pages that should get you through basic problems, but if you're still stuck, talk to me. I'll do what I can to help.

Privacy policy

Our privacy policy is here, though it's just a personalised version from the basic install. In short: We're just nice people who love to cook. We don't want your personal data and we certainly will never knowingly let anyone else have it.

Disclaimers

Our disclaimer is here, and as above, it is copied and personalised from the basic install. However, if you have any issues with Cookipedia, please do contact me personally.

Found a problem with the site?

If you have found a problem with Cookipedia or have a suggestion you would like to make, use the site problem link at the top of every page or leave a message on my talk page.
