Hello, team! As you know, this comm is not just for sharing recipes. We said as much in the community guidelines, and then promptly failed to elaborate. So here's that, belatedly. This has been added to the guidelines right after How to Post Recipes, and here it is now for your convenience.
How to Post Everything Else
Requests can be an appeal for a certain kind of recipe, help with adapting a recipe to make it gluten free, or advice on where you went wrong with your dang popovers.
Resources are things you think your fellow community members would find informative. Go for the specific rather than the general. So not an entire blog, but a chart of starches and their properties. Not an entire television series, but that one episode of Martha Bakes where she does gluten-free desserts.
Book reviews and product reviews go into some detail and include your personal opinion. Try to hit all the highlights: "Here is a thing; here's what it does, and here's what I think about it."
Tips & Tricks are based on your personal experience. It could be a brief guide to the differences between nut flours, or it could be an essay about gums and gum-substitutes and the different ways you like to use them.
Include these categories in your subject line, like "Request: need a soy-free vegan lasagna recipe!"
Questions? Ask 'em!
