Evan Prodromou reshared this.

I share pics from the results and if I get positive feedback, I create a blog article.
I have nothing against sharing recipes, I just don't know anyone who'd be interested.
my mother taught me to hoard the good ones on illegible index cards, only to be passed on in death
why wouldn’t people share recipes? I’m curious!
@MargaretLarson I have a lot of recipes I learned from my grandparents. They mean a lot to me, and represent my heritage. I teach them to my kids, but I don't give them away to people who aren't family.
if they’re particularly noteworthy or something you might not otherwise find. The beef bourguignon recipe shared by the local beloved French restaurant like 9 years ago, that one I reshare. It’s great. My own stuff? Most of it’s tweaks on other things. I’ll share if you want it
I didn't learn to cook anything more than scrambled eggs until I was 50. The pandemic forced me to at least unpack the Instant Pot and search YouTube for "easy healthy instant pot recipes." It saved my life. I shared some recipes with my Mom to show her that it's really not that hard.
@Greg@ted that's fair and roughly what I intended.
@ted I mentally added a "when asked" when I read and answered this poll.
not only I share them, but I'd like to code an activitypub-powered recipe manager where users can follow each other and "star" favorite recipes. Would you be interested in that? 😬
Share with friends and family or online/website?
I'm in favor of Open Sauce ethics.

We all have the knowledge. And it grows when it is shared. Remember what you learned, Crysta. 🧚‍♀️
I feel like I need a “sometimes” radio button
@debs sometimes is either often or rarely!
@debs
not to me - it sits in the middle
Enquête niet gezien. Elke week op mijn weblog: https://siaweblog.blogspot.com
not only do I share them, I am then super controlling about how well people follow them
This is interesting. I'm "often", but I have a lot of recipes I never share.

I contribute to Wikibooks Cookbook, which is a good place to find recipes.

There is a site called grouprecipes.com which commenced in 2007 where individuals shared their favourite recipes. It was extremely active at one time. I had contributed hundreds of recipes there. #foodie #recipes #cooking
I think I might have misunderstood that question.

I read it more as a "will you share your recipes if asked" and not "do you go out of your way to share them"
@x1101 the question was "do you share recipes [at all]".
@x1101 Ah, my answer would have been very different for that question! I always share recipes if asked. I rarely get around to proactively sharing recipes.
