Your favorite website to find recipes?

Post by Divia » Sat October 18th, 2008, 4:32 pm

The favorite cookbook thread inspired me to make this one. While I love cookbooks so much stuff can be found on the web now so I really use that more.

Does anyone have a favorite website where they get their recipes from? Mine is

http://www.recipezaar.com/

You can look by rankings which means you get some really kickin ideas. Love it! :)

I don't cook much, but I do like to look at the food channel recipes.

I mentioned mine in the cookbook thread. It is a site called Taste, and it brings together recipes from a number of different food magazines into one place. You can search by ingredients, all the recipes are rated and have comments by other users.

Taste website


It's often the first place I look when I am looking for inspiration, despite the fact that I continue to buy at least one food magazine a month!

Goodfood Magazine.
You can store your favourites in an online binder. I often use this one. I get the hard copy magazine but this is a great backup.

When I lived in the UK, I loved the Good Food magazine. The BBC does quality so well!

Allrecipes.com is where I go. If you choose five-star recipes (readers make and rate the recipes), you won't be disappointed.

If I go on a recipe website it'll be http://www.bbc.co.uk/food.
All the TV-chefs are on it with their recipes.

I like The Food Network site. It's really the only one I browse on a regular basis. I use other sites but mostly when I've done a google search for one particular recipe I'll go with the site that has the best looking one.
