New Challenge: Summer Grilling
Oh, so grill pans are okay for this challenge as well? I wasn't sure. I'd be happy if they were as I use mine quite a bit and am not that keen on barbecuing.

Thanks. I'm definitely going to try that with the ginger!

Does the outer brown layer come easily off of ginger iffrozen, or would it be better to peel it first before freezing it? I'd like to try this as I do end up wasting good chunks of ginger sometime.

A tip I learned recently from a Nigella book for boiling water faster in a saucepan, if you have an electric kettle: At the same time that you start the water going in your kettle, also start heating the saucepan with a centimetre or two of water. T…

Great! Thanks, @andrew. Even if it was only on the individual recipe indexing page it would make saving multiple recipes at once a lot easier.

I was wondering, @andrew, if it was at all possible to add an option to save recipes to your recipe folder while you were indexing recipes rather than have to go back to them individually once it's indexed to save it? Just asking as I normally …

Brilliant! Not sure how I missed this until now, but this will make it so much easier. Sad as it may sound (though probably not to this crowd) I've recently found going through my cookbooks and indexing recipes here that I want to try to be rea…

I wouldn't mind receiving email notifications so I don't miss any comments if I don't have a chance to check the website every day. If it was possible, I also wouldn't mind receiving notification if someone reviewed a recipe I h…

Thanks, @andrew! Just wanted to add that in the month or so since I've joined this site, my way of grocery shopping and meal planning has totally changed, for the better! I find it much easier now to use up spare ingredients and search for reci…

Thanks, andrew, for making indexing more functional now. It will make meal planning and searching my recipe folder by course, etc. much easier. One question: I entered a recipe name incorrectly and then added it again, and now there are two listed …

I've been doing the same thing as Leeka, as in adding, indexing and then reviewing later, so I would also appreciate this. Thanks!

I think I may be inadvertently helping with the indexing process. I've found that I like going through a particular cookbook, indexing the recipes I want to try here on Cookbooker and adding them to my recipe folder for reference when I want to…

Bug fixed with useful voting
Heh. I noticed that my useful rating had shrunk by about half so I was starting to wonder if I was half as useful as I thought I was! Don't tell my boss!

Thanks for all of these features, andrew. They look like they will be really useful. I'm looking forward to and am willing to pay a fee for the upcoming build your own cookbook feature as once I try a recipe from my recipe folder I'd like …

Hi! I'm quite new to this site (and I'm totally in love!) after seeing it mentioned on Library Thing. I like the idea of taking part in the challenges as a way of expanding your repertoire. I was just wondering, obviously there is nothing …
