NYT Cooking VS Average Cookbook

NYT Cooking mentions (20)

• What are regular meals?

  Get a subscription to https://cooking.nytimes.com/. I know it sounds crazy to pay for recipes when there are so many free cooking websites and youtube channels, but everything is tested and the instructions are clear for beginning cooks. There are whole sections for weeknight meals, chicken, pasta, vegetarian, etc. And thousands of recipes in the database so you'll never run out. Source: 7 months ago

• Every time I find a recipe on google, it turns out to be crap. Are there any websites with recipes that are actually good?

  From there I'll go to America's Test Kitchen, NYTimes Cooking, and Milk Street. Milk Street is the (relatively) new project from Chris Kimball, who used to head ATK and has more of a focus on everyday cooking and international cuisine and has produces a few gems for me (and is also an absolutely excellent place to buy supplies and tools).

• Recommendations?

  NY Times cooking — Another subscription service, but you can create a free account. Also, try refreshing the page and spamming the ESC key on PC right before the prompt to log-in pops up. They have some very famous recipes, including one for chocolate chip cookies (seriously, make this one!), no-knead bread, and many others. Source: 10 months ago

• How much do you spend, per person, a week on food?

• after actually following a few online recipes I'm convinced the people who post them are just making shit up

  Add Simply Recipes and New York Times Cooking (although with that one, you only get a certain number of recipes for free each month, then you have to pay.) I do pay for New York Times because I found myself using their recipes so often that I was running out of free ones each month. They publish really good, solid recipes. Source: over 1 year ago
