Comments:

The Cooking Inn is High in content. Containing many different recipies, this site is definately a good resource for any kind of cooking adventure; or misadventure as the case may be. Navigation is accessed through a framed navbar. Use of such is discouraged due to difficulties bookmarking and printing. Scroll bar is fairly unattractive, but does not detract from the content. Author is clearly identified and speaks with authority and knowledge of the subject area. A good, well-rounded, cooking site on the web.
