There's something about saturday mornings at the office. From monday through friday my brain works just fine, but on saturdays it's like it gives up. I have to make a conscious effort to think about work and concentrate. *think brain think* Luckily, my personal email inbox is very entertaining during the weekends and it gives me the necessary ten minute break to power through my morning. This is how I found out about Gojee, which claims to be the Pandora for foodies. Once you've signed in, you can find recipes writing either an ingredient you crave or an ingredient you have available to cook with. I took it for a spin with my favorite ingredient: chocolate. The selection of recipes Gojee came up with was HUGE: from chocolate chip cookies, to truffles, cake, muffins... A little bit of something for any craving and any skill. You can narrow down your choice by providing more ingredients along the way. Once you've found what you crave, you follow a link to an external website which has the recipe (I found that it's mostly blogs).
"Eat Me"
Gojee also sends you weekly suggestions of recipes it thinks you would like, based on the ingredients you search for frequently and the ingredients you list that you don't like. So the more you use it, the better the recipes get!
If you are hungry, this will only make it worse
An added bonus: the website is visually stunning. Pictures of the food take up most of the screen space, letting it be the obvious center of attention. It's simple, and it makes you want to lick your screen! As if I needed more excuses to eat or surf the web... I definitely need a faster metabolism.
Steve Jobs should come up with a mac that let's you eat what you see on screen
Now licking the screen
