New Milestones for BigOven

Earlier this week, BigOven.com passed 80,000 registered members.

Growth is picking up -- each week, thousands more sign up.   And I just noticed that the free Vista Sidebar Gadget that lets you search our 160,000 recipe archive, which was released this past summer, is now well-past 20,000 downloads.   More people mean more great recipes, photos and expertise shared with everyone. 

Are you using Vista?  Would you like a ready answer to the question "what should I make tonight?" right on your desktop?  Download the free BigOven Recipe Vista Gadget here:

Look up your favorite recipes from your cellphone!

How many times has this happened:

You're at a grocery store or farmer's market, and just don't know what to make.  You see some fresh ingredients, and have some idea of what you'd like, but it's not fully-formed.  It might be "chicken caesar salad", and you might want to know what you'd need to make one.  Or it might be "grilled salmon", but you might not have made it before.

Well, simply point your cellphone to:

And you're all set.  There, you can enter a list of keywords or ingredients or recipe name, and get simple results back, right away.  And, if you're a free BigOven member, you can get quick access to your Favorites and Try Soons.
