Food 52 – How many times have we seen those recipe sites where users submit their favorite dish and rate other submissions? Too many, if I may say so myself. Unfortunately, most of these sites suffer from one or more of the following deficiencies: poor quality of recipes, a user group that’s too small, insufficient ratings for submitted recipes and many others.

Food 52 is entirely different. Yes, it plays the same user-generated recipe tune, but it’s nothing short of enticing and unique. All submissions are rated by users and fellow home cooks, producing weekly winners. Each weekly winner enters Food 52’s much-anticipated cookbook, a fabulous collection of year-round (52 weeks) winning dishes that will be published at the end of the year. Feel free to submit your gourmet forte and maybe it will make its way into the cookbook!
