Where do you usually go for good recipes? Googling one just gives me SEO garbage that isn't very good or authentic

>>21482882 (OP)
They sell these books with recipes in them... quite handy.

The other day I tried using chatgpt and it suggested I make linguine clam pasta with cottage cheese and eggs

Stock up on all the paper books you can because we're in for 1000 years of darkness

>>21482882 (OP)
I use the yummly app, which is OK. But I only really use it when I have no inspiration and there's a lot of wading through shit

>>21482891
There's an app called ChefGPT https://www.chefgpt.xyz/ where you can give it ingredients and it'll spit out a recipe, maybe it'll work better than regular chatGPT

>>21482886
This. You have to do some research though, don't buy cookbooks of some random tiktoker.

>>21482882 (OP)
There are sites that share recipe cards from the fresh delivery type companies. They're pretty good

i just google, ignoring anything shat out by a LLM.
usually look at three or four recipes and figure out what they have in common.

Yummly >>21482894 is probably one of the better ones, since the SEO padding is cut to a minimum and the search functions work nicely
Though I found that over time as you build a repertoire of dishes and hone your cooking intuition, recipes become unnecessary. These days if I’m searching for something specific I’ll just peek at the ingredients list and intuit the rest.
Recipes are for women tbqh fampai. You don’t need to read about how to reduce a wine sauce 50 times over.

Pain and suffering

Old cookbooks. OLD. Definitely before internet existed, ideally before television.
Internet recipes I only look at for some inspiration or to check spice pairings

Who is this character please?

>>21482986
Shit, I'll admit I hadn't used it for a couple of months or so.

>>21482994

Thank you!

Serious Eats, Epicurious, Chef John (his are usually super entry level but he's made literally everything so he's kind of a last resort/starting point).

Ironically one of my favorite cookbooks is from a tiktoker lel (which I found out afterwards because I don't have that shit).
But yeah it takes a hell of a lot of research to get a decent cookbook selection, the variation in quality in cookbooks is particularly gigantic

library book sales
prioritize america's test kitchen and old ladies' clubs cookbooks

Forget ((Google)) AI blogpost trash and get recommendations for old-school self-contained forum/database sites. Maybe someone can suggest an English site similar to this option, zero bullshit, zero ads:

https://www.russianfood.com/

I might have disagreed until trying to explain to zoomers why Web search was better before they were born.

i use my evil god young master technique to steal grandma souls and add them to my golden cuisine scroll

>>21482882 (OP)
better homes and garden cookbooks from before the 70's. but really I don't need recipes for most food.

>>21482882 (OP)
I just look at the SEO garbage and use my culinary intuition to upgrade it into a right and proper meal.

>>21483028
So cute!

>>21483201
Oh... so that's why grandma passed away last month...

BBC Good Food gets straight to the point with simple quantities and easy to follow steps.

>>21482882 (OP)
Just a good starting point, but you still have to use a little common sense when determining if it looks like a good decent recipe:

>Serious Eats (Author dependent, besides Kenji, if it's a minority name, probably skip it)
>NYT Cooking (Usually pretty safe to go off their rating system)
>Bon Appetit (high highs, and low lows, rating system doesn't really help)
>Woks of Life (for mostly Chinese, but the rest of the Asian stuff can be hit or miss because it's Chinafied)

I have a few websites I always trust to find good recipes
>the woks of life
>sally's baking addiction
Thats really it
Anything else I cross reference 2-3 different recipes and make my own based on those

>>21482882 (OP)
stop using jewgle you fucking retard, there are like a thousand other options.

>>21483327
Go the fuck back retard.

>>21483466

I like swasthi's for indian
chef wang for chinese
the best foodtubers are chef john, brian langerstrom, that dude can cook, and sam the cooking guy

>>21482882 (OP)
I don't do that

>>21483468
NTA but what's wrong with those?

>>21482989
Goodwill usually has a nice selection of inexpensive cookbooks.

Start with the basics. Aim for an OCR variant.

>>21483233
This is the way

I invent recipes in my mind

>>21482882 (OP)
I imagine a recipe and then make it

>>21484166
me too

Physical cookbooks mostly, especially those recommended by or used in culinary schools. I'll also sometimes find a seoslop site that actually has good stuff in some kind of niche. JustOne Cookbooks website is pretty solid for cooking Japanese stuff with Western substitution options, for example. Some good things on based cooking, but it's pretty dead. Otherwise stuff like hello fresh recipes which are free on their site.
