Talk:Recipe

To add link
Please excuse the bad quality of my English... I placed "Gourmet library and museum" as link because the Library contains more than 300 000 recipes en that can be interesting for saerchers, isn't it ?... I therefore place it again. If you don't agree, please, contact me. --Égoïté (talk) 14:58, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Veggie link
Everyone, the link may be ok; check it out. I first removed it because it had been removed as spam on another article. See my talk page for his justification. Carl.bunderson (talk) 04:42, 8 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Linking to one of thousands of recipe websites from a general article like this (and Restaurant) is spamming. It's not a website about "what a recipe is", it's just another site with recipes on it. I'm staying out of this from here on in, but this is not an appropriate link. - Special-T (talk) 04:48, 8 February 2008 (UTC)


 * I saw your comment on his talk page after posting that, and you are right. I've been in the same situation before with specificity of links, and I just hadn't been thinking about this one from that standpoint. So I wouldn't say there is reason for you to stay out of it; I'll continue removing it now. Carl.bunderson (talk) 04:49, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
 * So what's the final verdict? I guess the link I provided is too general for this topic? I just don't see how you can judge which links stay or go...  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gtg228r (talk • contribs) 05:30, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Well my 2¢ is that it's not ok here, but is on something such as Vegetarian cuisine. See WP:EL for more on guidelines about what to, and not to, link. Carl.bunderson (talk) 05:40, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Definitely wouldn't think it would be suited here, good idea about Vegetarian cuisine. Wexcan Talk  05:44, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Ok, thanks for your help! appreciate it Gtg228r (talk) 05:57, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Enunciation advice
"Ress-i-pee"? That's a bit too amateurish, why not use proper symbols? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.91.90.219 (talk) 22:55, 9 January 2009 (UTC)


 * I've removed the pronunciation. Carl.bunderson (talk) 21:37, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

Recipes in Ancient Egypt
Phrase: "There are ancient Egyptians hieroglyphics depicting the preparation of food" refered to Encyclopedia of Food and Culture, vol. 1, p. 558. But at this page is no mention about this, only: "Records from China and Egypt show that fowl were domesticated and laying eggs for human consumption around 1400 B.C.E.".
