Favorite Online Recipes

[SaladFingers]

Do people here follow recipes they find online? I find I tend to resort to the BBC food website or the Good Food Magazine web site for recipes, which is okay to a point but preferably I'd find somewhere that consistantly gave well explained step by step instructions and maybe even some illustration.

If I'm really pushing the boat out, I'll visit Rosemary Shrager's section on the ITV site

which has guaranteed excellent tasting dishes but which require an extra level of skill (perhaps a little beyond me at this stage) to prepare. Recipes on the ITV site are badly written and I find it difficult knowing if I'm going wrong or not and since presentation is a major part of her cookery classes, it'd be nice if they described how they should look on the plate.

So, where do people find their recipes online? Or have you found a really good recipe you'd like to share with me, here?

I primarily use recipe web sites for ideas, which makes the BBC a good resource with it's vast archive of recipes compiled by veriety of chef's in the UK.

However, searching for cannon of lamb recipes, I stumbled across this and one day, when I'm feeling adventurous and have a free day, I might attempt making this:

I know you're asking about online, but my favorite recipes coming out of Britain are from the Aga magazine - maybe there's an online version which makes my comment less off topic

I enjoy them because they're different from the recycled stuff we get in the US and while I don't have an Aga, they always work, and have always been exceptional.

epicurious.com

I've made plenty of recipes from there, I usually sort them by ratings, and read the reviews first. I spent most of this afternoon on that site, it covers recipes from gourmet mag., food and wine, and that whole magazine 'family'.

even if you don't need a recipe it's usually worth a laugh just reading the reviews. Someone always substitutes out half of the original ingredients and then bitches that it's 'bad'.

I usually can find something to cook from there.

The OP started this in the UK forum so I assumed they wanted UK relevant recipes. Its a fuzzy line with the internet since UK recipes will be on all of the sites listed. and unless I missed it, I'm surprised no one mentioned RecipeGullet. That's been a great resource for me.

Like SaladFingers, I use both BBC websites - as well as the UKTV Food one. All three are handy for the "what can I do different with this" sort of question for week night dinners. I'm a Good Food subscriber so tend to mark up recipes to try - reasonable as they are, few tend to stay in the Harters repetoire.

I often look at the Ballymaloe Cookery School website for the newsletters that contain good recipes, some of which are now listed out recipes link
