Cooking Resources
This page gathers together some of my favourite sources for recipes, food information, inspiration and guidance.
Food Blogs
I read a long (and growing) number of food blogs, which generally mix recipes, inspiration and instruction together. I have all these sites in my RSS reader because I love the writing, but they pretty much all include great recipes as well.
- 101 Cookbooks
- Chocolate and Zucchini
- David Leibovitz
- Becks & Posh
- Orangette
- chez pim
- Real Baking with Rose Levy Berenbaum
- Ruhlman.com
- Carol cooks Alinea (
- I’d like to give special mention to Clotilde ofChocolate & Zucchini for regularly featuring recipes that manage to be both practical and innovative. Co-incidentally, she has just published a book as well, which I hope to get my hands on when I go to her book-signing in London in June.
Recipes
Other sites I like to visit for recipe resources are:
- Waitrose.com – includes an archive of all the recipes published in their excellent Food Illustrated magazine.
- BBC Food – a good source for sall sorts of basic recipes. Also visit to get all the recipes from Great British Menu, both – this series and the last one.
- Delia Online – the ever reliable Delia. Good step-by-step photos and advice on equipment here as well.
- Epicurious

Recipe Book reviews
I do not remember how I landed on your site. I started on seventy percent? Can you help me to take my steps backward? Anyway I thought the site is interesting so I may come back. I happen to disagree with you with respect to Clotilde. From your limited blog list I like David Lebovitz the best. His posts are never boring and leads you to many new places with creative ideas.
Come to think of it, I guess I came to you from the brownie contest? I just started to blog about 6 months ago; I’ll see where it leads me
