Encourage your residents to post their favorite recipes on your message board
Posted on Thu, Mar 04, 2010
Here’s a great online answer to the question… “What’s for dinner?” And a delicious new way to create community among your residents. Start a resident recipe share program on your message board. Encourage residents to post their family or individual recipes on your message board where everyone can see. As residents attempt to recreate the scrumptious concoctions, encourage them to post comments on the recipes, rate them and give suggestions on cooking instructions.
“Foodies” are everywhere. See how many live in your building by promoting the 
recipe share program with a community announcement. As participation grows, suggest that the residents form cooking groups or offer cooking classes in your community club house. As more recipes are submitted with raving reviews, consider compiling them into one online document you can publish in the building information section of your resident portal.
Cooking doesn’t have to be a chore anymore. With ActiveBuilding, you can turn it into a fun and social experience for all. To celebrate your new cooking community, organize a resident movie night. Invite your foodies to view the movie Julie & Julia in your communities media center (on Blu-ray or DVD now) or host a resident Pot-Luck with dishes cooked by your residents from recipes shared on your message board.
