Here's pitching an idea that I think would have to work..

It's Wikicooks (or something like that). In other words, a repository of recipes in the wiki-way, ie. collated from all around the world and available in a multitude of languages. As far as I know, there's no really good repository of recipes online - I was looking the other day, and found some okay resources but nothing that we couldn't do better ourselves. And of course, it'd be free and open-content..

So, opinions? My only other question then is where this should be created/hosted - in Wikibooks, Wikicities or a new wiki of its own?

Cheers,

Cormac

PS - I had this idea ages ago and before I heard about the Danish Open source beer - but wouldn't we be able to take up that idea? Wikipedia's tasty range of pasta sauces? Or is that just cheesy?
