Wired Women: www.epicurious.com

www.epicurious.com
So this may seem like old hat to any Web user who also cooks, as the Epicurious Web site has long been known as the place for just about every recipe on the planet. But it’s so much more than a great Web site with awesome search functions.

These folks have figured it out: Their site contains a blog and member interaction. They have a Facebook page with (as of this writing) about 36,000 fans. They have how-to videos as useful as anything on television. You can customize your profile. There are newsletters and an RSS feed, and most useful of all, an iPhone application, with more than 30,000 recipes — by meal, by ingredient, by event (Mardi Gras, Super Bowl, you name it).

The app features customer reviews and even generates your own hand-held shopping list. How our mothers ever put a meal on the table sans technology is beyond me.
