Week 4 : Tastespotting - a community driven visual potluck

I love food, so have enjoyed looking at the photos and the odd recipe on this site. This is definitely something I could spend (or waste :p ) loads of time on.... Although Tastespotting count as play, I would recommend it to patrons who have a bit of a foodie in them.

I would prefer that not all web 2.0 activities relate directly to libraries and our customers, as that would gives us a bit of a break and make the whole experience less intimidating.

The recipe I picked is: chocolate avocado pistachio cake. (To view the recipe, please click on the title.)
I chose it because I though it sounded unusual - yet when you think about it, the creamy consistency of avocados and its fat content would be useful in baking. (Hmm, maybe NZ Healthy Food Guide should look into this?)

This site is easy to use, and I would use it again even if just to browse and drool over the images.... I think a function whereby you enter in a couple of ingredients that you might want to use in a recipe would be helpful too.
