When I can't find a recipe here (or don't want to alert y'all to what I'm doing), I check Food Network and sometimes Epicurious for recipe ideas. Any other good places that I'm missing?

If you're on the foodtv and epicurious track, you might want to check out Martha's at marthastewart.com. I have more but have to do some digging.

Scottish Chef, you joined on my birthday. BBC what?

Have you goggled with what recipe you're looking for? (Like Buttermilk Pancake Recipe; be sure and put recipe in there). Often have good luck with this.

Try Wonderful Food

The other option is as Snowangel suggested. Go to Google and type in "Lamb Shanks" +recipe, or whatever the item in question is in quotation marks, space +recipe and see what pops back at 'ya.

I tried that (I google everything), but you get a lot of duds.

Stone, I think the site I linked will help. But I don't read recipes without pictures so I don't know. But most recipes are duds. Most of the web is a dud.

Elyse - are you, the Lord?

I am as a matter of fact.

I like Fine Cooking(there are recipes linked to the main page, but if you go into the forums and use the search function, you can really find some great stuff), and my first internet recipe experience came from Recipezaar. I still pluck recipes from certain chefs on there.

Fine Cooking has more of the recipes that might appeal here, in RecipeZaar there's far too much of the "mix cream of crap soup with a bucket of velveeta and decorate with Jell-O" kinda stuff. You've got to mine an awful lot of rock to find a few diamonds.

I certainly won't argue with you on that account, but at this point I'm pretty familiar with the more sophisticated chefs. I've just discovered recently that many of them had been (and still do) hang out on Fine Cooking. :cool:

Yeah, they see their expeditions to 'Zaar as missionary work!

Raymond Blanc has a huge recipe site, I don't particularly like the search engine (or his food) but here's a 2 star chef putting 5000 recipes online! Bravo!

Capriel Pence also has a nice site with a searchable recipe database. www.sautewednesday.com has links to several food magazines/recipe sites.

If you want to mine through a fair amount of well yeah, crap, you can check out the sites listed on Chef2chef. One there that I like is Hub-UK (isn't David a member here?). Not all the sites are for recipes -- Table-hopping with Rosie is there, and eGullet, www.suvir.com, and HollyEats.
