While brainstorming about life and what everyone wanted from it, a summer some 5-6 years ago (2004 ish :P) by the seaside with a host of mates and lasses, it came to my attention that everyone would praise as a list topping priority: Food 🙂
In Greece, at that time we had about 2-3 websites with recipes and none of them, after some quick skimming, had variety nor the features I would like to see in a website about cooking recipes.
So I went ahead and registered the domain: sidages.gr ( greek-lish for recipes) and everyone was happy that we soon should have our very own recipe website.
Thus it came to life. Well sort of ..:D.
At first, there was light, that is a bunch of custom made PHP scripts.
Then came Joomla and another custom made module that is fully functional and quite nice as well!
But my personal Holy Grail has always been the endless questing for new knowledge. So the latest iteration of sidages.gr is actually based on the Drupal CMS. My newly acquainted colleagues (2006 :P) praised so much Drupal as a content management system, that I had to give it a try!
Needless to say, I was hooked on the architecture immediately (Drupal 5.x at the time). All in all, it is a very interesting experience and of course, you can never know enough on any subject.
It is still in the building process, need ideas, a spanking template and of course recipes for it, loads of them. The good thing is I am an eager cooker myself and cooking at a minimum couple of times per week both proper food and deserts.
I hope it grows quickly and thanks to everyone for their suggestions and the heads up. Keep that coming please 😀
