Great Recipe Sites

Here is a great collection of recipe sites with reviews.

One of the sites that I was not aware of is Cookstr. I will definitely be checking this site out soon. Here is the description:

Cookstr publishes recipes by professional chefs, including Mario Batali, Jamie Oliver, Alice Waters, Jacques Pepin, Michael Recchiuti, Mark Bittman, and on and on. In addition to recipes, the site also provides informative profiles for each chef. Features are fairly minimal, with a video section still under development, but I do like the simplicity of the site. Site registration allows you to save and comment on recipes. Although Cookstr only has a few recipes from each chef, it's the closest thing to a massively cross-cook[book] database I've found. I hope it grows.

The Library also has a great selection of cookbooks in the 641.5 section and many delicious choices in magazines including Cooking Light, Vegetarian Times, Bon Appetit, Cook's Illustrated, Fine Cooking, and Food Network.

Happy Cooking!
