Cookthink...just think and then cook

People are creative and open-minded in cooking food nowadays since people are always seeking the inventive and innovative meal to fulfill their curiosity. The artice "Cookthink: Like Pandora For Recipes" by Duncan Riley in techcrunch really inspires me, because Cookthink does help the people who do not have the recipes or even the idea of what they want to cook.

Cookthink provides the recipes of what people are craving. Recipes can be searched in four categories, which are ingredients, cusisine, mood, and dish type. The users do not have to worry about the dependability of recpies since all the recipes have been already tested by one member of Cookthink.

Then, I visit Cookthink immediately. The word with bigger size in the site of the front page, the hotter ingredient people have searched. People can just enter ingredients, cusisine, mood, or dis type they want to have, then Cookthink will provide the recipes, cooking method, tips, and the time needed.

I believe that the recipes in this kind of online cooking database is much better than the recipes in books. People can brainstorm what they want to cook, and then input the key phrase in Cookthink. Afterwards, the best matching result will come out. It is very convenient because the recipes in the book or other websites are so limited and inflexible. Therefore, after reading this article, I would say nothing is better than online nowadays.
