Major Announcement – New Site Feature!

Well, it has been a busy few days here at SCK.  One of the things that has been on my ‘work in progress’ list for the site has been to make it an interactive experience, instead of just a place to read and maybe comment on what I have posted.  I wanted from the outset for this to be a truly interactive site, where anyone and everyone who wishes to come visit has an opportunity to share and interact, sharing the diverse knowledge that we all bring to the kitchen table.

Today I completed the work on establishing this feature for the site.  It will likely need some adjusting over time, but I believe that it is good to go and ready for you to play with.  The new features include messaging as a group and privately between members, and a forum to communicate as a wider group.  While anyone can continue to comment on posts without registering as before, to participate in the Community requires registration.

On the top left of the screen you will find a Registration link.  It’s quick and easy, just your name, email and pick a user name.  Then you validate your registration by an email, and your all done!  You will then be able to log into the site and be part of the community.  My hope is that over time, with enough interest it will become a place where one can ask and answer questions, share stories, make friends and enjoy some company with like minded people.

If you have any issues with the process, please let me know right away.  As mentioned before, this is a learning process for me.  However I think that this will be worth the effort.

Thanks, and I hope to see all of you in the Community area!!

I’ve been at it again…

Hi all

I have been working on the site quite a bit the last couple of days.  I have revamped The Storeroom, changed up the format a bit and added some content that hopefully you will find interesting.

One of these changes is  the addition of information on some of my favorite publications and websites.  I have added pages and links for Cooks Illustrated / Cooks Country / Americas Test Kitchen, as well as Alton Brown’s Good Eats and books.  These are two of my most favorite sources of information and education on cooking.  I really encourage you to check out these sites / publications.

I have included links to these and a number of other items on Amazon.ca as part of the pages.  I hope that it adds some utility to the pages, making finding some of my favorite items online a snap.

As we recover from the Holiday season, and life begins to get back to normal, I look forward to continuing my work here, and I hope that you will continue to drop by.

I am interested in any suggestions, comments or questions you have for or about the site, and I hope to see you again many times thru the year.

All the best,

SCK
