Absolutely agree. Real recipes, tested by actual cooks (home or professional) with genuine photos, matter far more to me than avoiding messy screens. Does anyone know trustworthy sites that consistently offer recipes meeting these standards?

Seriouseats, Epicurious, Bonappetit, or anything with Kenji Lopez-Alt (for always going the distance in methodically and empirically testing all variations of whatever he is evaluating/developing).

If you want something in the short form video era, I do appreciate Andy Hearnden (andycooks) as he is both concise, consistent and always posts the full recipe in the video descriptions (all too rare).

    +1 for Serious Eats. I also like NYT cooking. I do not like Bon Appetit, I find most of their recipes to not turn out well.

      BA might have gone downhill, it's been a few years since the whole unfair pay debacle, and I know a lot of good people left, and I haven't checked in as much lately.

https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/ -> Search recipes...

If you want just recipes that were published in the magazine (that this website is the companion to), you can also filter results to author = Good Food team

Not books, but youtube / blog:

* Chef John (foodwishes)

* Brian Lagerstrom

* Adam Ragusea

* Sip N Feast

* Kenji Lopez-Alt

* Spain On A Fork

* Alton Brown (of course!)

I cook every day and love trying new things. There's no reason to pick just one, but if I had to, Chef John is my go-to. I stumbled across him when I was trying out pretty much every birria recipe on the internet, and his (yes, a white dude) is by far my favorite. That pattern seems to repeat with his recipes.

I believe you can subscribe to the New York Times Cooking section/app without subscribing to the rest of the New York Times.

I used to know people who hated the Times, but still paid for Cooking.

For Italian cooking, il cucchiaio d'argento is like a reference website, unfortunately it's in italian only

Cucchiaio.it
