There are several boards on this forum that are specifically for quilting only: Main, Pictures, Block of the Month, etc.
This board is for general chit-chat, and while recipes should generally be posted on the Recipes board, talking about cooking or what we're eating or food in general is perfectly fine for this board, IMO. I enjoy them.
If you're not seeing the kinds of topics you'd prefer, please do feel free to start the kinds of threads you'd like to discuss. I'm sure some of the rest of us will also find them interesting and join your discussions.
