NYT Cooking Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• 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: 8 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). All three have the same basic issue of seeming vaguely bland to my palate... Source: 10 months ago

• 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

• Help with easy flavor profiles

  Whenever I am feeling in a cooking rut I open up a recipe website and just make whatever recipe is on the front page. I am partial to cooking.nytimes.com and they always has a "recipe of the day". They also have rotating collections of "healthy" foods, "easy weeknight" recipes, etc. The point is not to browse through endless options though: pick the first one that is doable.

• Good morning internet, show me today's horrors

  However, NYT Cooking (https://cooking.nytimes.com/) has stepped up their game and hired a lot of solid names to write for them. I haven't encountered a pay wall yet, and every recipe I have made so far has been solid. Source: about 2 years ago

• What's the name of the chicken curry sandwich

  OK, so it's coronation chicken, and there are many recipes for it online. my favorite recipe source, cooking.nytimes.com, has a good looking one. Source: about 2 years ago

• Good channels for learning pro cooking techniques?

• Bon Appétit is eh - New magazine please!

  They don't have a magazine but the cooking section of the NY Times https://cooking.nytimes.com/ is pretty great. Source: over 2 years ago

• What new recipe are you going to try for the big dinner on Thanksgiving this year?

  It does not always work, but https://12ft.io/ https://outline.com/ and I am sure others work to bypass paywalls. For instance, this works on cooking.nytimes.com but apparently not nytimes.com consistently. Source: over 2 years ago

• Cooking with online recipes sucks

  If it really bothers you I suggest finding a credible site you can pay for. I know you are not in the US from other comments but some common sites here are AmericasTestKitchen.com and cooking.nytimes.com, both run about $50-$70(USD)/year (although they do often run sales) and you won't get the same fluff through those sources since they are less dependent on SEO and ad revenue.

• Progress over the past 5 weeks..

  Sure! The cake recipe is the this recipe from the NY Times, I just adapted it to whatever tea I had on hand. Earl grey cake and then the filling I kind of winged. I steamed some tea in heavy cream and then let it cool. I then whipped the marscapone with the heavy cream and added some honey in there! Source: almost 3 years ago

• What websites do you trust for finding good recipes?

  For browsing, New York Times, Half Baked Harvest, Bon Appetit, Cookie + Kate, Damn Delicious. In addition to browsing the websites, I like browsing their Instagram accounts for inspiration. Source: almost 3 years ago

• Is there a website that actually gives recipes and tells how to cook specific dishes? Without giving their whole life story?

  Https://cooking.nytimes.com is really great. Does require an account, and a subscription to get ALL the recipes. Source: almost 3 years ago

• The chefs of reddit; what are some tips and tricks that people should know when they're beginning to cook?

  Watch people cook when you're with them; watch videos if you don't know exactly how to do something. Don't be afraid to ask questions! Start with simple dishes with few ingredients & work from there. I vouch for cooking.nytimes.com (look at the ratings & comments for tips!) & theppk.com for some dependable recipes. Cook what you enjoy, not what you think you 'should' know how to make. Source: about 3 years ago

• I use sriracha on everything. Is this a problem?

  The paid subscriptions are New York Times Cooking and Cooks Illustrated (Cooks also includes Americas Test Kitchen and Cooks Country). They are great about having tested recipes and they teach the why and how and many of their creations and articles have videos. The non-paid website, but one that I would gladly pay for is Serious Eats - recipes, how-to's, techniques, reviews. Source: about 3 years ago
