Where do you go to find your recipes?

I’m noticing a lot of my favorite sites recently have begun to incorporate seeming AI generated receipts and so now I’m on the hunt for a more reliable human touch.
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.

It is definitely getting harder. I’ve been hitting YouTube looking for actual people.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
