    I have started venturing in to the cooking world. I have made a london broil and found a way to make chicken tenders that the kids like (thanks to Bisquik!). I know there are many of you on TFP that cook, bake, etc. What are some websites you go to for new recipes? I would like to start searching for more things to cook.

    Those are just a few websites off the top of my head. I've used recipes off of almost all of them. The one caution I would give you in using recipes off of the Internet is to recognize that not all recipes are tested (meaning multiple cooks in multiple places tried to cook them and see how they turned out), so your results may vary.

    Damn internet is down at my house or I'd throw you a few myself.

    Snowy is right, a lot of recipes are not tested in the bigger sites.

    Thanks! That is a great start. Lots to look at. I can't wait to try more new things. Even my children are trying new things. This makes me very happy and determined to try more.

    I turn to http://allrecipes.com/ and look for the recipes with the most reviews. Usually there are many recipes provided for a given dish, and one or two will stand out. Also, I enjoy skimming through the comments because they often mention substitutions or slight changes with cooking times or spices that improve the dish.

    I really like that allrecipes.com site. It gives you variations on basically the same dish.
    The feedback from people is pretty helpful, too.

    I like looking up some of the recipes I see on the Food Network on their website.

    Great! thanks, GG and Fremen. I will add those to my list. I can't wait to start browsing them all. :)

    They have a lot of content, some of it good, but sometimes a bit too fancy for my tastes. They have quite a lot of video's up to with various celebrity chefs (but that part might not work for people in the US, I know IPlayer only works for UK users...)

    I use epicurious.com all the time. Most of the recipes come from cooking magazines. They also have a pretty good iPhone ap.

    Though Gourmet Magazine has gone from this earth, their website and all of their amazing recipes are still available here: http://www.gourmet.com/recipes

    fflowley Don't just do something, stand there!

    I like the Food Network site too.
    We subscribe to Cooks Illustrated, both the print edition and the online site.
    I like having the print edition to sit and browse through at a leisurely pace.
    The web site is great for being searchable and most importantly I have never gone wrong with a recipe from Cooks Illustrated.

    Cooks Illustrated is especially wonderful for people who want to read about the process of creating a recipe. They really do try to make things utterly foolproof. I love them. I'm not a subscriber, but I do read the print magazine down at the library every month.

    AllRecipes also has an app that I have on my android phone. I love it.

    Thanks for all the sites. I love to cook and like to try new recipes with my woman. I'll post some I have at home, if I can find them... Reloaded pc and lost my links, but I think I can find them.

    My 4 goto sites are as follows:-

    Canadianliving.com (they are much like cooks illustrated where they test the recipes and are pretty much foolproof)
    cooksillustrated.com (only website I pay for)
    bonappetit.com (i used to get the print edition - i should renew it come to think of it)
    cooks.com (just a compilation, you will find millions of variations of any recipe. I tend to look at half a dozen recipes and just pick the componants of each that I like and make my own version)

    Epicurious for something new an interesting.
    Cooks Illustrated/Americas Test Kitchen for a good recipe of a well known dish.
