Our mission
To be the premier one-stop collaborative cookery resource providing cooks with appealing tested and photographed recipes from around the world. In our encyclopaedic Wiki we endeavour to hold everything you need to know in order to successfully complete your chosen recipe.
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 has no commercial affiliation. Its editors recommend suppliers and their products, hopefully because they have 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 just like Wikipedia. Its goal is to be an accurate, collaborative cookery resource without being too 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 comments 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.
You can make a difference
Publicity is our life-blood. You can follow Cookipedia on Twitter and Facebook using the links below and you can also use the Social Networking buttons at the bottom of every page.
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 of the basic installation. 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 stated above, it has simply been copied and personalised from the basic version. However, if you have any issues with Cookipedia, please do contact me personally.
Copyrights
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 Contact the Editor link at the top of every page or leave a message on my comments page.
