About
CooksRecipes.com
"Recipes
for Every Cook"
One of the first
online recipe resources, CooksRecipes.com has been providing
free, quality recipes to millions of cooks around the world since
1999.
 Hi, I'm Hope Pryor and
I am the owner, publisher and webmaster of CooksRecipes.com.
Since its online debut in mid 1999, the website has become one
of the more popular, "mega-sized" recipe sites on the
Internet. The site actually started out as a hobby stemming from
my life-long love for cooking and a keen interest in trying my
hand at building my own "web page"...and eventually
developed into a successful home-based business. I work alone,
managing all aspects of the site from my home office. My three
top priorities for the website are: 1. To provide quality, trustworthy
recipes in a "user-friendly" format. 2. Its continual
growth with the addition of new recipes, and 3. Keeping a fresh,
updated homepage featuring a sampling of the site's wide variety
of terrific recipes.
I designed the
website with a simple, straightforward navigational format that
would be quick and easy use. The recipes are conveniently organized
under popular recipe collections, listed in alphabetical order
and easily accessible throughout the entire site by just a click
or two, making CooksRecipes.com one of the easiest to use recipe
resources on the Internet. I am also very pleased to say that
no membership sign-up or fees have ever been asked or are required
of visitors to the site...and as long as I am the owner, it will
remain so.
One more tidbit
of information about the features, or rather the lack of certain
features at CooksRecipes.com. Every now and then I will get an
email from a visitor asking, "do you have a recipe box?"
or "where are the comments and reviews on the recipes?"
The reason they are not available is because the pages of the
entire website are posted online in "static HTML" and
not in a database, making such interactive features impossible.
However, there is a positive side for this inability to provide
such useful services, and that is hackers need a "database"
to hack into...which gives this particular website a definite
"safe-to-surf" advantage. (Not to mention that I am
always happy to "hand-post" visitor comments, sent
via the site's form mail, on the recipes.)
Many thanks for
visiting CooksRecipes.com and for taking the time to read a bit
of trivia about the site. May you enjoy a successful "recipe
treasure hunt" while browsing through this "online
cookbook" that currently offers over 20,000 free recipes.
Warmly,
Hope Pryor
