When I started EgglessCooking.com last year, I did not have big plans for it. I was drawn towards baking but did not want to use eggs. So I was collecting egg free baking recipes from various websites and blogs and pasting the links in a Word document, which was becoming very difficult to manage. One fine morning I told my husband that I wanted to start a website to put all these links under one roof. Actually I didn’t even know what a blog was then! At first he did not take it seriously. Why would he? It was not the first time when I’m all excited about a new idea but lose interest after a couple of days! After a lot of nagging, he listened to what I had to tell and started working on it and thankfully I too have not lost interest until now.
The interesting feature of having a blog as against a website is the interaction going between the blogger and the visitor. Food bloggers visit other blogs leave comments, try their recipes, participate in their food events and build a nice relationship. But I felt I was not giving a proper platform to other visitors (non bloggers) to communicate with each other, share their recipes, baking experiences etc. Some of them were posting recipes in the comments section (under various posts) and I was also getting a lot of egg free recipes via email. I thought it was high time I did something about it. So I present to everybody Eggless Cooking Forums!
So non-bloggers, in this forum you can create a support group if you or your loved ones have egg allergies, brainstorm about egg substitutes, share your egg free baking recipes and upload pictures of your creation, request eggless recipes, troubleshoot a baking problem, etc. No more excuses for not participating in the events I conduct in EgglessCooking.com. If you have a recipe fitting the event, submit the recipe under the respective category, use Photobucket, Flickr, etc to upload the picture. I’ll pick it from there and include your recipe in the round up.
Wait, wait, wait! Let me make it clear! This forum is open to everybody (bloggers as wells as non bloggers). I won’t exclude you, my dear blogging buddies. You too can post the egg free baking recipes you have posted in your blog, so it will reach the people who are looking for it. You can also benefit from adding your blog’s URL in the Signature field.

Madhuram, this forum is a great idea. I just came across this and will register soon. I have so many questions relating to eggless cooking. I’m sure this will be of use to so many people.
Hey one quick question, I have seen in so many of your recipes that you have used baking soda. I dont get baking soda here in Germany and wanted to know if this is an essential ingredient when not using eggs or can I just use Baking powder instead? Thanks in advance!
Keerthana, do register in the forum. I googled and found that baking soda is available under the name Natron in most of the grocery stores in Germany. Check the link for further details: http://whatscookingamerica.net/Q-A/BakingSoda.htm

I cannot tell you how much this website has helped me! We are BIG egg eaters in this family, and recently found out my 15 month old son has a terribly egg allergy. I never realized just HOW many prducts contain eggs! This site is a LIFESAVER for me! I’m making my “famous” (at least among my husband and friends) oatmeal chocolate chip cookies- eggless style take 1- today and have high hopes that they will be just as fantastic as always thanks to your ideas for replacements! I’m choosing to use flaxseed and water combo because I read that the distinct granola-ey taste is best in oatmeal cookies. Wish me luck! And thanks for the great recipes!!
Karoline, you’re most welcome.

Lovely idea Madhu. Forums are the best way to interact for both bloggers and non-bloggers.
