I've been locked in a dark cell for the past few months, getting bread and aerated sorbet fed to me through the bars, working on a top-secret project to make it so members of our community can create recipes on our site in the same beautiful format as ChefSteps' own recipes.
Now we are ready to do an invite-only beta. You'll be able to create your own recipes or "fork" a copy of one of ours and put your own spin on it. You can make them as simple as a list of ingredients and a few sentences of instructions, or as complex as you want, with sub-recipes, videos, step-by-step photos, etc. Your recipes will be published on your profile page, you can share them with friends (or on the forum!), and eventually we may start putting them in the galleries or on the home page, etc.
If you want to be among the few, the proud, the beta testers, and you are willing to answer some survey questions and help us track down bugs and usability issues, send me an email to
michael@chefsteps.com and I'll send you a welcome email when we are ready for you. Your feedback will be incredibly helpful before we roll it out to the whole community.
Thanks,
Michael
