Lately I’ve been looking for places to find recipes, hopefully that I can add to my RSS reader, but share any great links you might find!
Here are some of the ones I’ve found
You must log in or # to comment.
My favorite YouTube channels:
Alton Brown
America’s Test Kitchen
Claire Saffitz/Dessert Person
Cooking at Home with Jaques Pepin
Food Wishes/Chef John
J. Kenji Lopez-Alt
NYT Cooking
King Arthur Baking
These are all Top Shelf cooking channels.
This is one of the few places where the legit answer with no disrespect is: yo mama
Welp! No one has mentioned it and I feel like it’s required. Nagi is a fucking legend and her recipes are always spot on. Follow the recipe. Get the results.
YouTube (or whichever version of it)
Channel = Food Wishes
Chef John is one of the YouTube cooking channel pioneers. His recipes are easy with not a ton of ingredients or steps and absolutely delicious. Some find his cadence of speech and dad jokes annoying, but you can’t knock the end result. Lots of good cooking tips weaved into the series as well.
Oh man! As if people knock his delivery. He’s charming & funny. Recipes are usually easy and delicious. The guy is a pro!
Japanese: https://www.justonecookbook.com/feed/ Recently I’ve had good times following her recipes for okonomiyaki, tamagoyaki, chawanmushi, and especially onigiri! Although I seem to recall her takoyaki were too runny for me to work with them
Thai: https://hot-thai-kitchen.com/ (Couldn’t find RSS feed though) curries, pad Thai, are mainly the ones I’ve been doing, but she’s really good
Chinese: https://feeder.co/discover/dbc0b80c93/chinesecookingdemystified-substack-com (Not sure how this feed thing works but otherwise https://chinesecookingdemystified.substack.com/)
- biang biang noodles, mapo tofu are definitely my favourite dishes from here
French: https://www.thefrenchcookingacademy.com/recipes/
- made a couple of different dishes but the poulet l’estragon is insane
I highly trust and recommend Serious Eats, the rare site where the blog post of the recipe has value.
NYT Cooking is pretty good but my GOAT is Felicity Cloake’s ‘how to make the perfect…’ column in the Gruniad. She is always my first port of call when I fancy trying something new.
She takes recipes from an assortment of cookbooks, tries them all, discusses what worked well and what didn’t (and why) for her and her test eaters before finishing with a recipe based on the outcome of those test cooks.
One of the rare cases where you want to read the whole post and not just ‘jump to recipe’. Because she describes the variations that different cookbooks recommend, it’s very easy to adapt her own ‘perfect’ recipe to your own tastes.
Here, as an example, is her chicken souvlaki.
Most of my recipes are from random sites (I just browse search engine results until I find one I like).
The one site I’ve used quite a few times though is https://scottishscran.com/
Smitten kitchen is fantastic. Recipe are all great (any that I have tried), photos are amazing, and Deb Perelman is delightful. But no rss feed as far as I can tell.
I like Sally’s Baking Addiction for sweet treats! :)
Her brown butter chocolate chip cookies are to die for. The chilling steps are important so your cookies don’t spread and become too flat. Don’t forget the flaky sea salt!
