But, when it comes down to it, the main draw of FoodGeeks.com are the recipes. With a new recipe theme focus every month, visitors are offered special recipes and menus to enjoy that use seasonal ingredients, celebrate special occasions or suggest special techniques or equipment that are associated with a certain season.

Most of the recipes are also listed with preparation times given.
For the advanced web surfer, the site also allows for a more advanced search that can limit which categories to search as well as the ability to search for keywords as ingredients or as part of a recipe title. If a visitor knows what he or she is looking for, finding the right recipe can take less than a minute using this simple search capability.
