What are some of your favorite online food and recipe sites?
However, there is always room to investigate new recipes, fresh ingredients & new approaches to cooking, I say! I've been doing quite a bit of this on the internet lately, though my Google searches tend to often lead to the same sites. Now I'm looking for new, uncharted territory!
So, would you like to share your very favorite cooking sites here? Supply a link & perhaps tell us a little about why this site has been particularly useful to you.
I don't mind what type of food sites you choose to recommend: anything from ethnic foods, vegetarian foods, sites about specific ingredients, basic beginner sites, "celebrity chefs" ..... just what ever you've found really useful. And, of course, you don't have to restrict your contribution to just one site if there are a number you regularly use. The more the merrier!

It's by far my favorite as it even goes beyond a recipe site not only do they have everything under the sun but they also have instruction guides and videos, recipe boxes, "shopping lists" that give you recipes based off items you buy or tells you what to buy for what you want to make, wine pairings, seasonal recipes that play on seasonal foods, mobile apps, and even a food dictionary.

http://www.asianonlinerecipe.com/ has great asian recipes. Some of the recipes do need a bit of interpretation, but it's not so far gone that you won't be able to complete the recipes.
http://www.americastestkitchen.com/recipes/ is great as well. The great thing about this site, is that the recipes have been tested time and time again, to produce the 'best', to their taste of course, recipes. We actually own one of the cook books (got as a gift, so no guilt at all), and I have yet to be dissapointed by any of the recipes that come out of the cook book.

#1 is AllRecipes
http://allrecipes.com/
This site has a massive database that is very useful for finding specific recipes. It has a unique feature that I love that allows you to search by ingredient, it also allows you to remove specific ingredients. This feature allows me to say I would like a dish with garlic but exclude mango and fish foods that my wife and I are allergic to. Exploring recipes with this feature has allowed us to find lots of interesting foods we would not have tried otherwise.
#2 Vegan Yum Yum
http://veganyumyum.com/
For the record I am not vegan, and even if you are not I encourage you to visit this site. It has a selection of very healthy yummy foods.

Another feature that I like is the ability to find recipes based on the ingredients that I have on hand. The search bar allows you to put in a particular request, like "cheesecakes", or you can request a recipe that has pineapples, cream cheese, and vanilla pudding (or whatever you have to work with). That's fun especially if you really don't have anything in particular in mind.
I use other recipe sites for certain recipes, like a particular cajun dish, or any other ethnic recipe, but if I'm just browsing for something to make, I check cooks.com first.
