Food hack: the DIY geek guide to impressive eats this Valentines

The net is full of recipes. How can you tell the difference between some crazy person with a site vs. something tried and true for your Valentines meal? Easy, follow Gadgetell’s guide for cooking a sweet Valentine’s meal and be assured if it fails, it won’t be the recipes fault.

First, follow the pack.

How do you know any of these recipes are any good? Easy, user ratings. My favorite recipes site is easily allrecipes.com. There, user ratings guide my decisions plus have the added boost of some nifty changes they made to make it come out better. Based on a five star system, the site encourages responses and makes them easy to decipher: a simple mouse over opens the comment for quick decisions. The site is super easy to navigate and a high user rating usually means the eats are good. I just this site at least 3 times a week and haven’t gone wrong yet.
