NASHVILLE, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--There are dozens of food trends that make headlines every year (artisan condiments, gut-friendly foods, etc.), and associated recipes are viewed across print, broadcast, mobile and desktop every day. But what are America’s home cooks actually cooking?
JustAPinch.com, a true vertical social network around food and recipes, has the pulse of America’s home cooks. The site has millions of members, all home cooks (a true representative sample of the US population), that post, pinch (save), share, rate, and confirm cooking recipes through the millions of cloud-based recipe boxes they control across virtually any food or recipe site on the internet. These home cooks have collected over 650,000 unique recipes, making it one of the largest repositories of user-posted recipes on the internet.
JustAPinch.com, using a proprietary algorithm, is releasing the recipes most saved, viewed, shared, rated and cooked in home cook’s cloud-based recipe boxes for the first half of 2018. This gives real insight into the recipes that are being viewed, shopped for and actually cooked in these home kitchens, and representative of the type of recipes similarly being cooked across the country. Internet search traffic for recipes only highlights viewing trends, but when millions of home cooks directly engage with and ultimately save a recipe in their own personal recipe box, it demonstrates a purposeful intent to cook.
