Where do you go to find your recipes?
-
honestly… pinterest. it has led me to some cooking blogs i never would have known about otherwise. there’s one site i really like though and subscribe to via rss, Budget Bytes.
i also am subscribed to some magazines through my library on Libby: Cooks Illustrated, Food Network Magazine, Vegan Food & Living, Bon Appetit. Getting them digitally makes it easy to screenshot the ones I wanna try out.
also sometimes when browsing in the bookstore or library i’ll just flip through a cookbook and take pics of the recipes i want with my phone to put in my digital cookbook later.
Pinterest is also great to compare recipes. I like to take a few recipes and find things I like from each to customize things to my taste.

Google what I want. So far so good. I’ve had consistently good results with Allrecipes and BBC food.

Just search, and run across other recipes in links of current ones.
There are certain cooks who I’ll check occasionally (chef John at foodwishes.com, Nick Stellino).
I also have some cookbooks: the cooking bibles (Joy of Cooking, Gourmet). America’s Test Kitchen cookbook for standards to start from.
Otherwise I do a search and see the person’s actual site. If there’s AI generated crap, I just never go back.

It’s not the answer you’re probably looking for but, my cookbooks. I happen to have a bunch of old cookbooks I’ve inherited from family members and friends. It takes some research skills sometimes, but it works.
I also maintain a personal blog site which is my online cookbook. It’s not only my own recipes, but also a link dump. When I find a good, non-AI article I’ll share it there like a clipping with the usual tags for how I catalog things. It takes a bit of discipline, but for me its second nature by now. It also lets me take notes on how a recipe worked out, and what substitutions or adjustments I’d like to make next pass.

Hatice OncelSome guy named Alton Brown recently started posting videos. He only had two up so far but he shows promise.
I don’t tend to cook what they are but I do get inspired between them and what I have on hand.
When I know exactly what in looking for I search and look at a few recipes and see if they pass the sniff test or not based on the photos and ingredients. Like are they mixing in a different bowl in two different pictures? Dl

Deb Perelman’s blog is incredible. She’s a delight, and any recipe I’ve tried has been a hit.

if you’re looking for baking stuff, King Arthur Flour has a lot of good and reliable recipes (and if you have problems, a help line, heh.)
But generally, I find them on the internet or wherever. I’m not a fan of allrecipes or other recipe aggregates. I generally don’t trust YT recipes unless they’re someone whose got some chops, so to speak. (rando content creator recipes make me cry harder than onions.)
I’ll also pass on any recipe touted as “easy” or similar. Not because I don’t like easy, but because a lot of times they take dubious shortcuts or add things that don’t really belong. For example, you really should use a ham hock for your pea soup. (or at the very least, pork/bone broth,) yes, it takes time. yes, it maybe more complicated. But it’s not nearly as good otherwise… and it’s not that difficult, really.

I do a websearch in this format:
simple <dish name> recipe
I likely will always have a couple of missing ingredients so a simple version has a higher likelihood of me being able to make it.

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

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

Any recommendations for a site with metric units?
