I like cooking and consider myself lucky for starting the process of learning to cook a few years back. There are a lot of completely garbage recipes out there now. Allrecipes dominates Google but I've never made anything that actually tasted good from that site. I've got experience and know of specific sites that deliver that I use pretty much exclusively now instead of searching Google directly.

However I can see someone just starting out being tricked by one of the many crap recipes out there and just simply wanting the convenience of a quality recipe with the exact ingredients.

Would you mind sharing some of the sites you use?

I mostly use a mix of TV shows, youtube pages, and regular blog sites.

Food Wishes, Serious Eats, Cooking With Dog, America's Test Kitchen, Maangchi, the forums of pizzamaking.com

Bon Appetit recipes tend to be good when I make them, but they publish a lot of recipes and often times they aren't for food I actually want to make. Good Eats was nice when I was initially learning how to cook, but he sometimes goes over board, especially his weird unitasker rule. The correct rule should be to always critically evaluate bringing a new tool into kitchen, don't clutter it up with a lot of items you will rarely use, and make sure the tool is as easy as possible to keep clean.
