Best CMS for recipe site

[redshift]

usually im a joomla fan but the recipe extensions there are pretty weak, trying to build a site for a friend similar to recipezaar.com, users submit and discuss

any suggestions?
thanks in advance

Your probably better off trying to find a custom cms that allows people to submit articles and tuts or get someone to code it.

PostNuke can do it. I use it for a press release website and an article submission website - ie - user can sign up and submit articles, leave comments, reviews, ratings etc all come with the standard install. Getting the extra little bits like the site you highlighted would take a bit more work but it can be done.

You won't find a CMS out of the box that covers everything that site has without some effort, but PN has much of it. Or you can go the route knivesforapro suggested but that costs $'s.

thanks for both replies
ok, will try out post nuke, i had read reviews though the PN db gets huge fast and eats up space, do you find this an issue
may I see your site that you use PN with

editing to add, RecipeZaar might be kinda over the top for what I want. we are looking to develop a site that caters to a certain country's cooking. main features that are critical: user profiles, forum, excellent category and sub category organization, user submit articles and a discuss button that automatically links a recipe to the forum

Personally i would strongly recommend you e107 cms . Its really easy to install and has a lot of plugins and thousands of templates !

Thanks
