Recipes on the web

[abier]

Haven't checked out recipeGullet yet--and I will now--but of you've got a Mac, take a look at Watson. It's got a great search interface for Epicurious and its own recipe archive (I haven't tried the latter).

Here's a screenshot of the Epicurious functionality.

All of the above, plus www.allrecipes.com. Just curious, though: anybody remember that old recipe database that was based in Berkeley? The name is escaping me now, but when the web first came to us common folk, it was a tremendous resource. It seemed to collapse along the way, but I always wondered what the story was behind it. It had a lot of recipes from traveling academics, so it was a great source for obscure yak-milk dishes and thousands of ways to make dal.

What was that thing called? Now it's going to drive me nuts . . .

kpurvis,

I believe you're referring to SOAR: The Searchable Online Archive of Recipes which has been renamed to RecipeSource! at www.recipesource.com (as ludja posted above)

Yes, SOAR, that was it. Thanks. I'm glad to know it's still around.

Yep, one of the first great sources for non IT related stuff on the web (Along with IMDB). I love the extraterrestrial and Weird section!

I'd second the BBC food section, good thing is, do a search on an ingredient of recipe name, and you tend to get a decent cross section of authenticity and complexity, from a reader submitted home cooked convenience version, to something done by a dodgy TV chef, to the odd high end version.

The Sainsbury's website can be ok, particularly if you know you are going to be popping in anyway (They quite often specify their own stock - obviously, or do things by their pack sizes).

And failing that, of course, Google (How long until keyboards come with a 'Google' button do we think?)

I use all of the above, usually starting with Epicurious.com or the Food Network's site. I bypass FoodandWine.com and go directly to the recipe page of Cooking.com. I also like recipes from Wine Spectator.
