Eatingwell has been my go-to lately. I see lots of things that look enticing from triedandtruerecipe on imgur, too.

Check out this riggies recipe. You won’t be disappointed.

America’s Test Kitchen is pretty good, they go into the how and why of things in a way that’s really helpful if you don’t already know how to do things like “blanching” or “caramelizing” or “deglazing”. I’m a big ol dummy and it’s nice to have your hand held sometimes

No recipes - heavily Japanese influenced since he’s from Japan but a ton of great recipes from around the world

Damn delicious - love her spam fried rice but a lot of great Asian / pacific islander inspired dishes

Half baked harvest - a bit of everything but very garden to table inspired

I always check recipetineats.com first

Also I have started building a federated recipe site (well… Very early stages), so hopefully, one day, there.

Second for Half Baked Harvest. I love how cozy the site looks and the recipes are great

I mainly get them from YouTube and their resppective websites. My favorites are:

Babish Culinary Universe (Everything)
Pailin’s Kitchen (Thai)
Sheldo’s Kitchen (Sotheast Asian)
Brian Lagerstrom (Baking and American)
Curries with Bumbi (Indian)
Hanbit Cho (Baking)

Books.

Find your local used book store and see what they have.

Any recommendations for a site with metric units?

Budget bytes is a pretty good site. Especially if you are looking to save money.

Public service reminder: Your local Library carries cookbooks. When AI has destroyed cooking, get a Library card.

My most used resource in the kitchen is a culinary school textbook. Plenty of recipes in there if I feel like challenging myself, also good if I forget how to do something simple like how long to poach an egg for or how to make bernaise sauce. Probably can get one used for hella cheap, it doesn’t really need to be the latest edition anyway.

Internet-wise, check out the Marginalia search engine.

It’s good if you already know what you want to cook, and are just looking for a recipe. Marginalia is focused on indexing old blogs and stuff written by humans, and has tools that allow you to filter out blogspam and recipes that exist only to push affiliate links.

I prefer to avoid popular cooks and cooking websites because they structure their recipes around engagement and polished images & video work, and it’s aggravating. 90% of the time all I’m looking for is 15 lines of information. I don’t want to click that bell, I don’t want 4K slow-mo shots of someone cracking eggs to chill lo-fi beats, I want a recipe.

Sonic cookbook tonight

Bad Manners / Thig Kitchen, they had a website which now seems to be gone, but there are also cookbooks, both paper and ebooks. It’s vegan but they’re some of the best recipes I tried, vegan or not.

I honestly don’t use recipes. I cook the food until it’s done and put whatever seasonings I enjoy in it.

A word of caution about Pinterest: Pinterest Is Being Strangled by AI Slop

If it works for you, great but be vigilant. Especially when you’re putting what you find on there into your body.

I’m aware. I’m also an experienced cook that would not add just anything to my food, or use improper cooking times and temps. I own a copy of the Betty Crocker cookbook that is my baseline for baking and meat temps.

Ummm… What?

Thank you, I had no idea this existed or how badly I needed it.
