Favorite online recipe collection

[sabinaHahn]

Hi, what is your favorite online recipe collection?
Sabina

p.s I hope I am posting to a correct board.

[sarvey]

For simple Chinese and Indian with nice description of ingredients I use:

http://www.tigersandstrawberries.com

and

http://www.nandyala.org/mahanandi/

for vegan lowfat/fatfree

http://www.fatfreevegan.com/

[daily_unadventures]

I realize this is a pay site but I recently started paying for www.cooksillustrated.com and it is totally worth it. They have such a good range of well tested recipes especially if you are trying to make something you have never made before.

I pay for that site, too, and really like it.

Another great magazine website is Food and Wine Magazine. I like and use their recipes a lot.

http://www.foodandwine.com

[Candy]

Epicurious is usually my first stop, then I Google and I do like Leite's Culinaria.

[Nancy Berry]

I prefer to visit recipe websites the offer a cultural, historical, or anthropological context for the recipes or that offer articles on technique to be used in recipes. Here are some of my favorite sites:

http://www.tantemarie.com/recipes/recipecol_frame.html

http://southernfood.about.com

http://bbq.about.com/library/recipes/blrecipe.htm

http://www.inmamaskitchen.com

http://www.leitesculinaria.com

http://www.starchefs.com

http://www.saveur.com

http://www.epicurious.com

http://www.heco.com/portal/site/heco/menuitem.ad8ed92a8bcc8b8c19138e11a0a38a0c -- this used to be better -- now it's just a list of interesting recipes

That's it for now. I have lots more sites in my database. I'll post more another time.

I like stephencooks.com...check it out....Miranda

[Lisbet]

I find this site very helpful: http://www.cookingforengineers.com/

[easily amused]

A couple of my recent favorites are:

www.recipesource.com Many global dishes

www.pepperfool.com For recipes that have a hot and spicey component.
The Asparagus Linguine With prawns is a Must try!
(Listed under Seafood on pepperfool)

[sequins]

Perhaps because the English are famously hapless in the kitchen and/or taste-buds-deprived... the BBC offers a rather superb recipe collection: http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/ .

[roasted138]

Great recommendation sequins! This is a great example of a site I would never intuitively look at for recipes. I also like it because it lists recipes by the chefs as well. I use the Food Network site often the same way since I know what chefs have an affinity for the same flavors that I do.

[JungMann]

I also use http://www.uktvfood.co.uk. Great ideas there.

[Nancy Berry]

Here's another great British cooking site:

http://www.greatbritishkitchen.co.uk/

[TerriL]

leitesculinaria.com

[HillJ]

NPR Food offers recipes, food reviews, stories and fun. I check back every Wed for a new entry.

foodnetwork's recipe file is also handy.

[VTtoMAtoCAfoodie]

Great post! I really like the whole foods recipe index at:
http://www.wholefoods.com/recipes/index.html

and for baking King Arthur's flour at:
http://www.kingarthurflour.com/shop/l...

[steinpilz]

Fooddownunder.com is great, lots of recipes with a global perspective.

[Val]

Epicurious is probably still my favorite, though Lord knows I've obtained some excellent recipes right here on Chowhound...FinerKitchens.com is also pretty awesome, though the format is more chatty & friendly. Cooking Light is pretty good, too. Those are my favorite 4 websites right now.

[kmh]

www.taste.com.au

[debit]

I just Google whatever recipe I am looking for. It will find whatever is out there from lots of different sites, many already mentioned. I like it, because it invariably finds some food loving website I have not discovered yet!

[bigjimbray]

I use www.dogpile.com the very same way, and you find alot of other websites
that you might find interesting.

[MsMaryMc]

If I'm searching very broadly for a recipe, I use http://www.foodieview.com/. It's a specialized recipe search engine that searches a whole bunch of sites--magazines (Cooking Light, Gourmet, Bon Appetit, Food & Wine Magazine, Saveur, Southern Living, Sunset Magazine and more), celebrity chef sites (Jacques Pepin, Martha Stewart, Paul Prudhomme, and others) plus collections like the Food Network, Recipezaar, AllRecipes, Epicurious, Splendid Table, and a lot of others. They make a search engine widget you can add on to Firefox (and I believe other browsers and toolbars), or you can go to their site to search.

I do like RecipeZaar, and I've found some outstanding recipes there. I'll often search there if I want a recipe that comes with recommendations and feedback from people who've tried it.

[debit]

MsMary--thanks very much for the foodieview link!

[dodgerfoodie]

seriously! Ive tired of foodnetwork and epicurious...foodieview is great and simple...gratsi!

[jinet12]

I also like to Google the recipe...You can come up with just about everything that way...I like the Food Network site as well...

[paulgardner]

I've been pretty pleased with recipezaar. I do like the comments and ratings that people give the recipes after they have tried them.

[mbfergie]

Not necessarily chowhoundy but allrecipes.com has some great recipes with reviews.

I second the site with cooking light receipes. they have a great search function.

[violabratsche]

It must be me, but I have a LOT of trouble navigating the epicurious.com site. I have several that I refer to, but my favourite is fooddownunder.com

I also use the cooks.com amongst others.

[rachb]

I second www.recipezaar.com!

The seach capabilities are great - you can keep narrowing further and further down until you find exactly what you want.

The comments and ratings are also very helpful and give good tips for what works and what doesn't.

The best part is that these are recipes by real people so they tend to work, not like some site where only professionally trained chefs can understand or anticipate what the problems might be.

[winedubar]

i like www.allrecipes.com - recipes are rated, and i always read the comments first. after about the 5th person says 'needs more salt' i take it under advisement ;)

[bakergal]

Indian: http://www.indian-recipe.org/

General: Epicurious.com

New, but fun, and shows promise (recipes from Sunset, Southern Living, Cooking Light, Coastal Living, and Health): http://www.myrecipes.com/recipes/

[JungMann]

Thanks for sharing myrecipes.com! I like the look of it and there are some great recipes. I will have to continue to check back.

Generally I'm a big fan of Epicurious and Simply Recipes. I find allrecipes is very bland, as if posters are generally afraid of anything more bold tasting than a dorito.

[bakergal]

That Indian recipe site underwent an upgrade yesterday and wasn't available for a while. If you tried it and couldn't get in, you might want to try again, because it really is worthwhile.

[Sharuf]

I just now tried it and it isn't working.

[bakergal]

Sharuf, it's certainly working now. I just clicked on the link.

[oakjoan]

There used to be a great Indian recipe site which I haven't looked up for a long time. I don't know if it's still around, but it allowed one to click on the various Indian states and find recipes local to that region. Wonderful.

Don't know much about the current ones. I usually go to books I have by Jaffrey, Sahni, Devi or Merchant.

[bakergal]

The site I gave was for restaurant-style Indian food.

A good site for authentic, homestyle Indian food is http://www.mamtaskitchen.com/index.php They're great about answering questions and taking requests.

[rcallner]

Epicurious.com is pretty global and has a good recipe saver feature, plus comments by users. Williams-sonoma,com/recipe/index has reliably good recipes.
