Wed Feb 08 17:46:30 -0800 2006 0 Paul 1 1510049 cooksillustrated.com (paid site, but the best) americastestkitchen.com Epicurious.com foodnetwork.com recipegullet at egullet.com allrecipes.com (Homey recipes) Hope this helps. -Becca Wed Feb 08 18:27:51 -0800 2006 1510043 0 Becca Porter 1 1510053 leitesculinaria.com ! Wed Feb 08 18:47:20 -0800 2006 1510043 0 Candy 1 1510059 Recipezaar! I like the rating system they use and the community there in general. Wed Feb 08 19:16:46 -0800 2006 1510043 0 Michelle 2 1510090 As I posted on the General Topics Board, I agree with you on Recipe*zaar - very user friendly, and a nice community of participants. www.recipezaar.com Wed Feb 08 21:31:35 -0800 2006 1510059 0 Janet C 1 1510060 People have already mentioned many of my favorites. I just wanted to add Napastyle.com to the list. It is Michael Chiarello's site. His food is fantastic (!!!), and he has all the recipes from all his cookbooks posted with pictures. Wed Feb 08 19:23:10 -0800 2006 1510043 0 Aaron 2 1510178 He rocks! Thu Feb 09 13:57:39 -0800 2006 1510060 0 Funwithfood 1 1510075 Epicurious used to have a forum at their website that was great but the format changed for the worse recently...many of the "regulars" got together and created a new forum at www.finerkitchens.com and there's a great deal of swapping going on with some excellent recipes (my opinion)...just click on the upper right "recipe forum" if you go there. It's a very friendly group. My other favorite site, of course in addition to chowhound, ahem, is www.sautewednesday.com. Have fun exploring! Wed Feb 08 20:20:48 -0800 2006 1510043 0 Val 2 1510164 Val, I just posted this same thing to reply to the original poster's request on the General Topics board! FinerKitchen's swap is really becoming the new "Gail's" and that's a good thing! Susie (post as Susie_MI at FK) Thu Feb 09 12:32:55 -0800 2006 1510075 0 SusieQ 1 1510097 I was amazed at the huge number of recipes at epicurious.com. I was looking for, of all things, an egg salad recipe that a friend said she got there and there must have been a hundred recipes just for that. Wed Feb 08 22:13:29 -0800 2006 1510043 0 Niki Rothman 2 1510123 I like Epicurious for the user comments that are included in each recipe. You find out what works and what didn't. I always marvel at the people who write 'I didn't like this recipe at all. I made it but I didn't have the ingredients or follow the recipe.' Thu Feb 09 09:29:57 -0800 2006 1510097 0 AGM/Cape Cod 3 1510134 giggle snort--I totally agree with you on the "I made 50 changes to this recipe and hated the resulting dish, hence, I hated the recipe." Umm, ok. Thu Feb 09 10:42:03 -0800 2006 1510123 0 smokey 3 1510272 I have found many restaurant-quality recipes at Epicurious...very fine website! Thu Feb 09 18:54:05 -0800 2006 1510123 0 Val 1 1510117 one of the original recipe web sites: www.recipesource.com Thu Feb 09 08:17:39 -0800 2006 1510043 0 byrd 1 1510121 I haven't even tried to share a receipe on the site, but I use it for inspiration- Ethnic, regional, ingredients, all of it! I think they have about 300,000 recipes. Recipes at Food Down Under: http://fooddownunder.com/ I also like Uncle Phaedrus: Finder of Lost Recipes. It's a site for nostalgic things ("My mother used to make...") and Commercial recipes ("I really like ChiChi's Salsa...") And I've been wondering for a year if its the same Phaedrus who posts here, too! http://www.hungrybrowser.com/phaedrus/m111302.htm Thu Feb 09 09:19:07 -0800 2006 1510043 0 jdherbert 1 1510135 For an international flair, I like The Worldwide Gourmet.

Link: http://www.foodieview.com/index.jsp Thu Feb 09 11:54:43 -0800 2006 1510043 0 Pssst 2 1510200 I love a new site . . . fyi, I searched three dishes (mock porchetta, Zuni chicken, and Bresse Mushroom Soup) foodieview only got hits on 1 of 3 Google gave me recipes on 3 of 3 Thu Feb 09 14:47:06 -0800 2006 1510158 0 pitu 3 1510689 Hi, I work at FoodieView. Thanks for the free plug! pitu, Google will probably always be better at finding rare recipes -- things like a recipe on a newspaper site from a local chef. There are a couple of things that I think FoodieView does much better than the competition: -- Finding recipes by ingredient. If you want to use up some chicken, some corn, and some tomatoes, you can just type in "chicken corn tomatoes" into FoodieView and get a decent list of choices. I don't think a regular search engine is that helpful in this regard. -- Comparing different versions of a somewhat common dish. You can look up "carbonara recipe" on a regular search engine, but you might not get the most authoritative sources first, and you'll probably find a few spam pages too. FoodieView sorts the recipes by user rating as well as relevance. So I guess each tool has its place... Cheers!
