New look, new features on Culinate

We’re celebrating our first anniversary this month by giving ourselves a new look — and loads of new features. Here’s some of what’s in store:

• Looking for fresh food inspiration? Check out Fritter — the place to give and get quick cooking ideas from others in the Culinate community. Easier than a forum and quicker than a blog, it’s full of good ideas. You can upload recipe links or photos of your dinnertime creations, too. All you need to do to leave a message is log in to the site; you can subscribe to Fritter via RSS, too.
• You can now email recipes and articles to others directly from the site. Look for the “Email to a friend” option in the toolbox on each page.
• 

  Sample the new dishes available on Culinate.
  We’ve organized Culinate to make it easier for you to find similar recipes or related articles; to see what articles have been most popular; and to read a selection of Editor’s Choice pieces. We’ve expanded our Graze section on the Culinate home page, allowing you plenty of reading options.
• We’ve made it easier for you to find the recipes you want. On the home page there’s an exclusive Recipe Search; it also appears on every page in the top right-hand corner.
• Recommended books and featured recipes are now highlighted.

We hope you like what you see. As always, you can send us your thoughts in an email to feedback@culinate.com.
