WELCOME TO THE NETWORK

Hey everyone! I can't keep up with the awesome influx of members! I'm working on a guide for newbies on how to use the site. But until then:
  • Join groups: From gardening to raw food, they're a great way to connect, especially since you're linked in to conversations there by email.
  • Start a discussion: Forums are a good place to get conversation rolling, since your blog will only be on the main page for a limited time.
  • Tell us about yourself: Post status updates and links from your "My Page"
  • Connect with members: Search the list and you'll find chefs, beekeepers, cheesemakers and farmers. You can "friend" folks, which enables you to invite them to events and groups. There's also a page of member blogs.

Hello- Does anyone have a recommendation on kitchen design for a serious cook?  I'm interested in function, not pretty cabinets.  Also would like info on "best"electric stoves, brands etc.  Thanks.
