I think that https://www.allrecipes.com/ is a good website for recipes because it allows people to submit recipes. I think that the format in which it presents the ingredients/instructions is very user friendly, including a checklist of ingredients that you can use while you are cooking and an overview which lays out prep time, cook time, servings, etc.

I think that https://www.simplyrecipes.com/ is an aesthetically successful recipe website in the way in which it uses images and typefaces. However, I think that it has too much 'introductory' text that gets in the way of the recipe itself.

I think that https://tasty.co/ is a good recipe website becuase it focuses solely on the recipe itself, which a lot of other websites tend to bury with extra text. The page does not adjust well to different browser sizes, but other than that I think it is a successful recipe page.

I think that https://www.airbnb.com/?from_belo_click has elements that could be applicable to a recipe page such as a photo gallery and places for reviews. I also believe it is a good example because of how it works with everyday people to upload and organize the information that they give to market their living space.

I think that https://www.nytimes.com/crosswords is a good website to look at for inspiration when it comes to visual design and how simplicity can help the viewer consume the page. I think that the way that they encourage you to click on related items is successful as well.

I think that https://quizlet.com is another website that shows how to effectively take information from users and help distribute, share, and display it in an effective manner. Their search methods are also very effective through the use of filters of different subjects, detecting languages, and connecting to specific classes at specific schools.
