FoodNetwork.com - Coolest Recipe Site Ever?

[Jack_Dawson]

Type in a word, get hundreds of recipes, courtesy of Emeril, et al. Read reviews. Save recipes to your own database. All of it free.

I made an awesome marinade for my steelhead trout last weekend.

1. recipesource.com is a close second

but I always go to foodtv.com first.

Edit to add: I almost always use 'alton' and 'oliver' in my sub-searches because they are the two best cooks on the channel.

2. Food Downunder has a bunch of recipes also

3. It's good, but not as good as epicurious.com

It's the first place I always go for recipes; food network is usually #2.

4. Whyz it better?

13. Well, here are a few reasons....

1. Significantly larger recipe database (and therefore greater variety).

2. Less duplication (I get a LOT of identical and near-identical recipes on search hits at the FN site).

3. Hot links to food and technique dictionaries.

4. A "review" section where people post excellent comments after they've tried the recipes, and often offer great tips for making the recipe even better.

I'm not slamming the Food Network site; as I said, it's usually the second place I go when I'm surfing for recipes, so I absolutely do like the site. I just think Epicurious' site is a little better.

On edit: You can also create your own personal "recipe box" for free on epicurious.com, just like on Food TV. I have one at both sites. :-)

5. First thing I do when I want a recipe/idea.

Go to Foodtv.com and see if Alton Brown has done a show on it. AB rocks out loud.

6. Hoo dat?

10. Alton Brown hosts the show Good Eats.

It is a show that incorporates the "science" behind cooking techniques, humor, and some damn good food.

Woof

7. I'm picturiiiiiiing...

trout swimming around with little roman-style metal helmets on, would I be wrong in that assumption?

8. I love foodtv.com recipes!

It's usually the first place I look (other than my basic cookbooks). It's easy to find what you're looking for because you can search the site in seconds, when it would take you maybe an hour to find the recipe by searching through books!

:hi:

9. I love it too!

Also epicurious.com, as has been mentioned here. They have a collection of recipes from magazines like Bon Appetit, Gourmet and Food & Wine. Both are very fun sites. :hi:

11. recipezaar.com is another good one

It's the place to go if you're after good ol' down-home cooking.
