Kenji is not only an excellent writer, but his recipes are terrific too (eating his pressure cooker mushroom risotto as I'm typing this).

I've tried many recipes from that site and they have all been spectacular. The best part is how in-depth they go into why the recipes work.

Agreed. On great example is the (no doubt delicious) exploration that led to his chocolate chip cookie recipe.

I can vouch for the fact that these are, indeed, excellent.

It's worth reading the article for the third paragraph alone :

There are times when I'll head into a bog-standard New York slice joint, see those pre-cooked squares with their flat disks of pepperoni, watch some poor sap order them, and think to myself: Ah, you've fallen victim to one of the two classic blunders, the most famous of which is "never question your pizza toppings in Asia," but only slightly less well known is this: "Never order a Sicilian when you spy flat-laying pepperoni on the line."
