I am starting an online magazine with a couple of friends, ( I won't mention the name here so I don't abuse the forum ). It is a cooking education website. It is targeted towards bachelor males. It will have articles, recipes, how to shop, how to use the tools, etc. Will this be popular enough to be profitable? I'm just looking for a little popular opinion here.

What would the slant be to make it popular for guys ?
Wil it have "that tasted so good i'll sleep with you" recipes on it ?
Will it have recipes that can be cooked during the timeouts ?
Will it be paid for by porn adverts ?
Only 3 jokes really, but what will make it essential reading for guys as opposed to any other recipe book or site.
Thats what you need to think about ( in my humble opinion ) because i think most men know how to shop and cook at least to some degree, don't we ?
I suspose you also need to figure out if we use other food websites and if not, why not.
I wouldn't use it because (a) I can cook a bit and (b) I like a real book because i can lay it out on the table.
Best of luck though.

I think that sounds really intriguing. And I'd read it and I'm not a bachelor! Are you thinking just cooking for one recipes, or enough to make leftovers and freeze? I have my down days where I don't feel like cooking and just want something for the hubby and I that's simple. This could really work for a lot more people than bachelors!

Depends on how you format it. I think it has potential. But you have to make it quick and readable, easy to understand, and simple to prepare with little cookware. My buddy is a chef and can make some great meals. But the only thing he cooks with at home is a cast iron skillet.

I think it would, even though I am obviously not a guy, but if they were smart they should like it because it'll give them a chance to eat something other than Ramen noodles and they can impress chicks by cooking them dinner

I think it will work out excellent.
You could make it as a membership page with shoppinglists and menus to download.
Like "shop once and eat for a week".
"Cook one day and eat for a week/14day/a month".
It must be short and to the point.
I am not a man but have worked with men and diets.

If it had a good interface and quick and easy recipes, it could work.

Great idea. Especialy if it includes simplified wine reviews, no matter how hard I try I still cant crack that code.
