Dons its in th title,

Cooking threads are popular and there is demand, so why not,

please

Ross1234 · 3 Feb 2009 at 20:40

I agree. Good idea.

Skidder · 3 Feb 2009 at 20:41

I semi-agree as I like cooking threads, but outside GD they may not get very well read.

That's what I think. I think it would die. Not enough people would read them.

I'd read it, that way I might learn to make more than ready meals and beans.

I only dont use them as a I cant find them. It would be nice to have them all together and accessable so I can use the recipes.

Don't encourage the Geoffrey killers

thats rubbish, there are cooking threads on here on a regular basis.

Tobes · 3 Feb 2009 at 20:43

Enough sub forums as there is. We get about 5 cooking threads a week. What's the point?

mr tommo · 3 Feb 2009 at 20:44

I agree, although I also agree with skidder. Maybe having a cooking/recipe thread as a sticky in GD would be good.

All cooking thread MUST include photos though!

the thing is they are from the same users and on the whole do not get many replies. I'm not sure how many people would actually click on a subforum. Although as you say. It would make things a Lot easier to find.

you did a nija edit

If there was a cooking sub forum, then there would be more indepth conversations about the topic, and the threads would not get lost in the noice of GD

are you the sole source of cooking threads on Ocuk, check out johnny69 and others.

of course not, I simply posted that as he said he couldn't find stuff.

LeJosh · 3 Feb 2009 at 20:59

It'd be a lot more handy yeah but... I prefer uktvfood for my recipes.

dannyjo22 · 3 Feb 2009 at 21:00

There's more relationship threads than cooking threads. Maybe a sub forum for Women problems

Not enough interest for a cooking forum, it was only asked a week ago.

why is there so much girly bitching going on today? AH2 didn't imply he was the only source of tasty advice (and don't really get the reaction to the butter / oil comment in the steak thread) - just cos we like cooking doesn't mean we have to act like ladies people!

chimaera · 3 Feb 2009 at 21:01

Open the search box...

Select 'Advanced Search'...

Search for thread titles only using the word 'cooking'...

= all you'll ever need, no point making a subforum when it's all available within 10 seconds with a minor application of effort.

Dist · 3 Feb 2009 at 21:01

If there was a forum then i think it doesn't have to be use compleatly for specific meals. Some of the decent cooks here could even write short guides or simple cooking steps that can be used in many dishes. I don't mean create threads on how to boil water, but simple things like the best ways to cook meat, what sort of spices go with what sort of food etc...
