I've put together a demo of this at
http://www.qdk.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Cookbook.RecipeA.  (I've also
got some test data in RecipeB and a RecipeC as well - feel free to
create new ones.)

I've configured it such that for testing purposes you can vote more
than once - presumably in a final version that would be limited as it
is by default with StarRater.

I've set up the labels as being a way to vote re usage but maybe it
would be better to use it as a "recommended" or not?  The recipe is
very flexible, so there's all kinds of ways we can display differently
and etc.

Anyway, please take a look and give your thoughts - I would love to
see something like this implemented on the main site so we can get an
idea of what recipes are either most recommended or most used by other
administrators.
