Best recipe sites
 

Tonight while I was looking up recipes for fudge, I came across this site:

Cooking For Engineers - Step by Step Recipes and Food for the Analytically Minded

It seems pretty cool. Recipes are easy to follow and come with pictures, and not the fancy some professional chef made this either. They look like some guy took pictures in his kitchen while he made the recipe.

Most of the time if I am looking for a recipe or an idea for dinner, I will often take bits and pieces from various recipes I find and meld them to suite what I want and what ingredients I have. Every once in awhile I will find a site that has some really good stuff. I think this cooking for engineers will be a keeper and I may even see if im2smrt4u can follow one of the recipes.

TFP what are your go to sites, if any? Or what sites have you fund that are interesting and useful for tips and reviews?

Ultimately, when looking for specific info: Google :)

Hehe, yea I just google everything, but over the years I have learned which sites are more reliable than some others.

Once I had to become more aware of food allergies, i really love Eden Foods - Good Food Good Reason Health and Happiness

They tag their recipes by diet sensitivity, so it helped to take some of the guesswork out at the beginning.

When I need ideas, I plug in a couple of ingredients I want to use at Allrecipes.com - the top web site for recipes, food and cooking tips. Tons of recipes and reviews including modifications, plus I like the fact that I can save a recipe for future use. I've tried several and always end up going back to this one.

America's Test Kitchen :: Welcome

You have to register to access recipes, but it is free.

I tend to use Cooking Light's site and Running With Tweezers along with the smitten kitchen site and Green Kitchen Stories. I've also started using the Food Network recipe section and modifiying things that sound good for experiments. :)

I have a number of recipe blogs in my newsreader, including some mentioned above. I recommend: Closet Cooking. It's just geeky enough and just easy enough.

This is my goto for recipes:


Obviously it isn't a website - the book is in my kitchen :)

Best gift my wife and I were ever given, I reckon.
