Okay, it's time for one of my patented free endorsements again...I love allrecipes.com. It's been my go-to recipe search site for a couple of years. I no longer rifle through cookbooks when I'm looking for a recipe. Instead I just sit down at my computer, bring up allrecipes, and search for what I need.
Why do I love this site so much, you ask? Well, of course, I will oblige with a bulleted list of reasons...
- It's asthetically pleasing, streamlined, and easy to use.
- There are thousands (millions?) of recipes in the searchable database. I can search by name, ingredients, course, rating, preparation time, cooking method....
- Once I've found the recipes I like, I can add them to my "recipe box," where they will stay forever unless I delete them. I can also modify the recipes and add recipes from other sources. Many people rate recipes and add comments and modification ideas, which are often very helpful.
- My favorite feature is the "shopping list." For Christmas this year, I've decided to do some baking after a several-year haitus. I chose four cookie recipes and added all four to my shopping list. Allrecipes compiled the ingredients on to one list, so I know exactly how much flour, sugar, etc. to buy. Love it!
