For all the chef's out there, you will understand the benefits of this form of learning. This is at allrecipes.com What allrecipes.com is doing is providing a way to carry out a stand-alone application (making the soup from a recipe) but allows for the user to build upon or lessen from the stated way (now holistic). Through the use of a comments section, fellow cooks are able to add their insight on what worked/didn’t work for them while cooking. As well as posting within the comments section, a ranking system by stars is used to judge the effectiveness of the comments and suggestions on changing the recipe. This is an example of how the system is allowing us to learn from others and how easily and effectively it is carried out. It is very interesting reading from the numerous cooks that have added additional information to a stand-alone recipe, and the stand alone recipe is what we have always known, is being replaced by the interactive recipe for the internet-savvy chef. This is the details (ingredients, how to make the meal) including some comments. http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Spicy-Sausage-Soup-with-Cilantro/Detail.aspx These are the reviews http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Spicy-Sausage-Soup-with-Cilantro/Reviews.aspx I actually made this soup, but from compiling components from 3 different recipes for it.
