Favorite food websites and blogs?

[Lucinda]

I've changed to opera and am redoing my bookmarks. Have any suggestions for great food websites and blogs?

I like them all, food in history, home chefs, good recipe sites etc.

TIA

5. OMG that Eggplant and Chickpea Curry on the front page looks amazing!

2. My number one go to site for recipe inspiration is finecooking.com

I like it because I have had very few disappointing dishes. They also have great general articles about specific ingredients or preparation methods. I also like some of the ways you can build a dish based on your preferences or what you might have on hand.

My second site is epicurious.com because I really like their weekly menu planners. They give me great ideas and I can put together a shopping list that will cover meals for up to two weeks. However, I find the results variable. This is not such a bad thing, as I am learning how to improvise in order to improve.

Sites I really don't like are those that include 100's of reader submitted recipes.

I look forward to seeing what others like!

3. ditto on epicurious.com

I go there for ideas - you plug in your ingredients and what kind of dish and, even when its a little obscure, there bound to be something good.

I've never had anything that wasn't top notch from there.

and for fun I have StumbleUpon.com - and I use the Food/Cooking channel

It randomly goes to sites that have been recommended - this was the first one today...
