Community:  

Though not its strong suit, MarthaStewart.com does host user discussion forums and frequently holds contests for user-submitted recipes. However, given the direction that other Online Recipe Sites like Epicurious and Chow are moving in, this seems to be a severe disadvantage for the site at large.

Resources:  

When it comes to resources and learning aids, MarthaStewart.com has it in spades. Whether you are looking for a helpful tutorial video, an informative blog or article, a photo slideshow of a recipe at various stages of development, insightful newsletters or other materials, MarthaStewart.com provides a wealth of materials to assist you. Also, the Martha Stewart Living network offers additional resources for home, garden and lifestyle matters, providing a full package.

Help/Support:  

MarthaStewart.com hosts a very detailed FAQ section for technical and site-related issues, such as problems streaming video, viewing pictures or other script errors. MarthaStewart.com also provides a detailed site map for simplified portal and feature location. MarthaStewart.com also provides an email address for additional assistance and site feedback.

Though by no means as content-focused or community-driven as Epicurious and Chow, MarthaStewart.com and the Martha Stewart Living Network do provide a more complete package that many Online Recipe sites lack with its cornucopia of home, garden and lifestyle-related sites and resources. However, if you are looking for an Online Recipe site that offers a strong balance of recipe listing and organization, helpful resources and learning materials, restaurant and bar listings and reviews, as well as a participation-oriented online community, your best bet would be to try out Epicurious, Chow or Food & Wine.
