PrintReally good cooking/recipe blogs
I am always searching for good cooking/recipe blogs. The paupered chef comes to mind. 101 Cookbooks is ok (if you like quinoa). What I am looking for is some educational, in depth, ambitious sites or blogs that try new things and make great food. Does anyone have some good suggestions? Thanks

Both of the above regularly feature good, interesting food. I've made several from each and the recipes usually turn out well, though I tend to have better results with Elise's site. Smitten Kitchen has a lot of baking, and some of them havent worked for me, but she goes in more depth than Simply Recipes. Or maybe she just writes more.

Oh I am also a fan of Homesick Texan:

tastespotting.com is TOTALLY addictive. It's set up really cool too. You get to look at literally thousands of food images and then click on whatever strikes your fancy.

@renzata.....also love smitten kitchen, am huge fan of baking websites as I bake more than cook, some faves
bakerella.blogspot.com
bakeorbreak.com
simplyrecipes.com
Or do what I do cruise, sites like serious eats and just start going thru all the links they have posted for blogs, do the same at every site you visit you'll start to see the ones that pop up on all the blogs. They usually have some good ideas.
Happy hunting!

Some of my favorites are David Lebovitz, A Chicken in Every Granny Cart, MattBites, and Orangette. They're well-written, have great recipes, and gorgeous photography.
I have a list here, but please be aware I'm putting it up as a reference, not a shameless plug.

I'm not vegan (yet anyway but I keep getting seduced), however, Fat Free Vegan always seems to pop up in my searches for new recipes. Just last night I was bookmarking several of her recipes from 2006 including Chai Tea Breakfast Cake (which I want to figure out how to make with coconut milk) and Indian Veggie Buns (not being big on bread I'm more excited by the filling). That lead me to go back to the VahChef on YouTube (he's adorable) who has his own site Vahrehvah which has so many recipes I want to try I'm not sure where to begin (though Palak Dal is tomorrow because otherwise my spinach will go bad).
But there are tons of great vegan sites now with some amazing ideas though I don't have all the links handy. Gluten-Free Girl is pretty good too as is Farm Girl Fare (especially Savory Tomato Pesto Pie which drew me in).

Here is a site that lists all kinds of blogs and gives a rating of them. Link to the cooking ones only:
http://www.blogged.com/directory/family-home/cooking
There are 98 pages of cooking blogs alone (!!) but the highest rated ones show first. You can also add your own review.
Happy hunting!

Here is a very ambitious and informative website. I don't always eat this way, but find it enjoyable to check it out occasionally. Very pleasing photos too.

Definitely orangette and ruhlman -- I have them on my Google reader and get very excited when I see a new one come through!

also, if you have never read julie powell's blog on salon about her experiences cooking her way through mastering the art of french cooking,
it doesn't get any better than the julie/julia project.
