I usually start with Food Wishes, Serious Eats, or the New York Times. Julia Child for French food, Just One Cookbook for Japanese food. Budget Bytes when the bank account is looking a little thin. Dessert Person when I have a lot of time and want to knock the socks off my friends.

    RecipeTinEats is one of my faves. Tasty, wide range of dishes up my cooking alley, and a little more complex than BudgetBytes, which is my other go-to but for dead simple and cheap but not bad food.

      This is such a good recommendation! I like BudgetBytes but find myself having to doctor up a lot of the recipes. I already see like ten things I want to try from RecipeTinEats.

    +1 for Food Wishes. Chef John’s recipes are simple enough for anyone to cook and very tasty! His dad humor is a bonus too :)

    I’ve been cooking through Simple by Yotam Ottolenghi

    At first I thought it was one of those “15 minute weeknight meals” books that are focused on skipping steps and ignoring technique, but it’s the exact opposite. The recipes are fantastic and I’ve collected a nice pantry of ingredients I wouldn’t otherwise buy.

    Kenji is my go to choice for most things.

    More niche but I’ll mention the ramen_lord Book of Ramen if you ever want to make homemade ramen (or even just sprucing up instant ramen with authentic toppings).

    I recently discovered IndianHealthyRecipes.com, his chicken tikka masala and chicken biryani have become regular favorites at our house.

    Chinese Cooking Demistifyed and School Of Wok. Pleasant to watch and cook from as well. I learned a great deal about wok cooking and care from these.

    brian lagerstrom on youtube is in high rotation in my house. he came from kitchens and researches his recipes really well. my only quibble is that his delivery style is a little frantic but easily solved if you crank the video speed down to 90% or grab his recipes directly from his website

      I watch a lot of Brian’s videos but only recently tried to make a recipe. I’d agree that it’s a bit fast-paced, but I prefer that to an extra long video with a bunch of filler.

      As you say, it’s best to just follow the recipe and check the video as you go for technique if needed.

      The recipe(s) (beef burgers on homemade buns) turned out fantastic, despite my wife’s attempt to sabotage the buns by preheating the wrong oven for a cake she was making.

    Chetna on YouTube is a great resource for Indian dishes and techniques. For budget cooking I like Ethan Chlebowski, and for amazing quick and dirty technique and ingredient showcases I like Internet Shaquille

    Depending on what I am making, but I regularly use Serious Eats and The Mediterranean Dish for cooking and mostly Sally’s Baking Addiction for baking.

    I’ma fan of Minimalist Baker. They specialize in meals with a limited number of ingredients that can be made in 30 minutes or less, often with only one bowl. They include meals for both vegans and people who like meat.

    I like JustOneCookbook for Japanese food. Most of the ingredients on her recipes are easily available. I’ve tried her recipes and they taste good. She also has recipes for ingredients that aren’t easily available so you can make your own.

    The closest of that for me would be GialloZafferano. However I usually websearch multiple recipes for the same dish, to get a good idea on variation, so I don’t usually rely on a single website or chef.
