The Guyana Cookbook

The Guyana Cookbook- Recipes from the Bengfort Family

The fame and fortune of this website (in terms of folks who aren’t family) is based soley on the content of the Guyana cookbook. I understand that this site is one of the number one hits when you search for Guyana cooking and I have disapointed a lot of people by taking it down (not to mention destroying a lot of links to our site). Therefore I am going to attempt to place the content back on the website for all the fans.

I have been debating on how to do this- you may think this is just as simple as adding the webpages to the site, and of course it could be. However, the new software installed on the site gives us the potential for a more dynamic solution- adding each recipe as its own blog post. By doing this, and categorizing them and tagging them, it would give folks the oppertunity to search the recipes, comment on them, and allow all of us to edit them using the software. This means the cookbook could be better.

However, this method has its drawbacks- folks couldn’t link to one webpage for the entire cookbook- they would have to link to individual recipes, which would be treated like any other posts by the software. This might make the recipes harder to find, and maybe decrease our page rank on Google. I am determined to come up with a solution for this, however, even if I take both methods- a static web page and add recipes as posts. Needless to say, recipes as posts is one key feature so…

Expect to see recipes for our favorite foods posted over the next couple days so that we have a database of Guyana recipes!
