About BigOven’s
Group Tagging
BigOven for Windows users can post as many recipes as they
want, free of charge, to the shared online recipe archive at www.bigoven.com. They simply
enter the recipe into the program and click the “Post Recipe” button on the
toolbar. Cooks can “tag”, or mark up, a recipe with keywords indicating its
cuisine, ingredients, style of cooking, occasion served, diet style and more.
Other cooks can then see all tags within a particular category, essentially
creating a browsing structure designed by the user community, rather than a set
of editors.
“By posting their favorite recipes and tagging them with
descriptive terms of their own choosing, BigOven becomes more naturally
organized the more people use it. Since other cooks can try and rate recipes,
that are posted, it’s like having a giant, shared test kitchen used by people
around the world.”
BigOven combines powerful desktop recipe organization
software with seamless access to an online recipe archive. Using the latest XML
and Microsoft .NET technologies, BigOven is able to provide the benefits of both
a massive shared recipe archive with the quick data entry and recipe storage
features of desktop software.

BigOven has received 5/5 stars from sixteen consecutive independent reviews,

Shareware, TopPicks.net and Promaxum. BigOven also received mention as Pick of
the Day by USAToday.com and ZDNet. In October, BigOven earned the Windows User
Group Networks (WUGNET's) coveted "Shareware Hall of Fame" and "Shareware Pick
