Awesome! I love everything that I’ve ever tried from J. Kenji Lopez-Alt. In particular Food Lab has taught me a lot of fundamentals and I just reviewed his bbq chicken ahead of Father’s Day grill out!
Have his wok book but honestly I find other Asian cookbooks to be more appealing. He is very clinical at times.
Just one cookbook is my go to. I take tidbits from recipes to mix I not o my recipes for Miso Ramen / Stock and trying new Asian dishes I just learn about.
Bon Apetit for variations on recipes. I use the cooked butter Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe lost from here. I used to grab Brad Leone recipe sheet before me busted out (get his cookbook if you can.)
Budget Bytes for when you want to make meals for an entire week or empty your pantry.
Just one cookbooks nikujaga is a great, light beef stew.
Sally's Baking Addiction - really enjoy the pumpkin bread. might make it again once pumpkin is in season once more. Budget Bytes Many of the recipes are adaptable to Southern Ontario prices. Add a few dollars for estimation and you're golden. Cooking On a Bootstrap - I really like the concept of it, but I haven't quite made any recipes just yet.
Sally's Scone Recipe is fantastic. During the pandemic, I made several different kinds of scones based on her recipe. Also agreeing with Budget bytes, which is where I get most of my daily recipes these days.
Sally’s baking addiction is the BEST!
I've been really enjoying Dessert Person. Every recipe I've tried so far has gone well, and she's actually honest about how long the steps will take.
The Food Lab is my other favorite. It's incredibly nerdy and I'm getting through it extremely slowly.
Great thread - bookmarked! I find BBC Good Food has good recipes which tend to turn into my favs.
That's at the top of my mind, but there's a few so I will come back tomorrow and add more!
Just One Cookbook is great! For some fun cooking instructions check out Kitchen Overlord they have cool recipes inspired by popular media.
Great thread, thanks all for sharing.
I personally use Tea for Turmeric quite a bit for Pakistani/South Asian cooking!
Thanks for that! I would love more Indian and Pakistani blogs.
My favorite is Gregory Gourdet’s [https://gregorygourdet.com/book](Everyone’s Table). His Haitian restaurant in Portland is amazing, and the global recipes in his book are delicious. Most of them are Paleo and Gluten-free.
Now that might make my list. I’m low key hoping they choose him as the next judge of top chef.
Love that Just One Cookbook has already been recommended. I really enjoyed her baked versions of chicken katsu and tonkatsu (frying in oil makes me so nervous).
For Korean dishes, I really like Maangchi's blog. Her bibimbap recipe is tasty.
Haven't seen anyone mention chef John from food wishes He has a YouTube and all his recipes are also on Allrecipes.com
I really wish I could get over his cadence in videos. The recipes look good, but I can’t stand his way of talking.
Moosewood Simple Suppers and Weeknight One-Pot Vegan Cooking are two books I use regularly, and I swear by Cookie and Kate as well.
BBC good food is pretty good for me, can be at little hit and miss but more than makes up for it with having a massive catalog
Cooking on a Bootstrap got me through uni on a low income. Would recommend to anyone as the recipes are easy to follow.
George Motz’s newest edition of The Great American Burger Book is absolutely worth grabbing. Wild recipes and plenty of history and method.
Currently cooking one every other week for my neighbors, and I gotta make a cheese sauce!
The Garlic Lovers Cookbook, Tra Vigne Cookbook, the Moosewood and Authentic Mexican by Bayless are my go tos on my shelf.
It's hard to pick favourites because I love cookbooks and have far too many, but "Gran Cucina Latina" by Maricel Presilla is an amazing compendium (in English!) of South American recipes. I've just bought "Vegetarian Tagines and Couscous" by Ghillie Basan, which has some interesting variations on traditional dishes.
For blogs, I'll also second Woks of Life - we use those recipes a lot!
- America's Test Kitchen - I pay for the subscription. It is technically 3 websites in 1 and includes recipes from all of their print books.
- Cooking for Two - ATK's physical cookbook as been great for making enough for one person, plus leftovers for later. Or just enough for me and my partner.
Thanks for sharing! These look very interesting. I've been looking into Chinese food for a while, but I'm also interested in Japanese and Korean.
My favorite place for Chinese recipes is Chinese Cooking Demystified . The Mapo tofu and Dan Dan noodles recipes are now two of my monthly meals.
I added a kimchi recipe I keep for giving out to friends and family when they request it.
I love to recommend Six Seasons by Joshua McFadden and The New Midwestern Table by Amy Theilan. Both have never steered me wrong. Six Seasons totally reframed how I think about cooking (focusing on seasonal cooking) and The New Midwestern Table really makes Midwestern cooking so romantic. And Theilan is a fantastic writer of prose. Highly recommend both of them!
