I'm not afraid to admit it: I love reading recipes and I love reading them online. The internet is a wonderful resource for recipes, and I often find myself searching several websites until I find the perfect one. My computer is even dirtied like a cookbook with sauce splatters and food smudges.
Since you read this website, I'm assuming you browse the web for recipes, too. Besides YumSugar and in honor of the Best of 2008 coverage, I want to know: Where do you like to read recipes online?

I'm going to get clobbered for saying it... but rachaelraymag.com
1Food Network sometimes takes a bit of searching if you're looking for something specific, but it pretty much has a recipe for everything!
2I like cookinglight.com (which feeds into myrecipes.com) and epicurious for everyday searching.
3Definitely simplyrecipes aka elise.com - Great site, amazing collection and variety, excellent pictures, and pretty easy to follow directions.
of course... YumSugar is a BIG go-to for me as well
4I had a problem choosing 1 out of all of the choices food sites are like porn to me....
5I like recipesource.com It has just about everything you could want. I sort of like Food Network, but it's difficult to navigate sometimes.
6Martha Stewart.com
7I like Tastebook.com
8101cookbooks.com
I use the others too, but the woman Heidi on this site is fantastic, and I love all her ideas... always something really creative
9I adore Allrecipes.
10I use ALL of these on a daily basis, plus others. One really big one you forgot is Recipezaar.com. Who needs cookbooks anymore when there's the Internet?
11YumSugar, the Kitchen Goddess group here on Sugar, Epicurious and the Food Network.
12http://www.cookthink.com/ !
it's beautiful, and you search by ingredient, dish, cuisine or mood! so creative and inspiring.
and worth looking into if you are into food sites.
13That was a tough one. I like My Recipes and Epicurious a lot, but Martha Stewart is my go-to for baking.
14food network is typically my go to site - and i'm not sure why that is - except that it was the first one that i ever tried out. i think that there is a lot of value with the others though.
15Umm excuse me, what happened to the "other" category? Eatingwell.com
16cooksillustrated requires a membership to brows the recipes but it is well worth it! Not only do they offer FOOLPROOF tested recipes, they also do non-advertised product testing to let the consumers know not only the best product, but also the best buy if you can't afford the very best. I love this website and I also get the magazine AND have many of there cookbooks! I love them!!
17exactly what I was wondering - no 'other' category?
18I like Recipezaar.com - they have the most authentic tasting recipes for all kinds of cuisines
Yeah where is rachealraymag? I use her site the most. But mostly I get them from magazines.
19Tastespotting.com! I love getting recipes from all over the place.
20Tastespotting.com - it's like food porn - best site ever.
21lisabarn! Very funny! They are all like porn to me, too! I just adore researching recipes- I could spend hours doing it! In the end, I usually study several different recipes and then just mix them to make my own. I used to go first to Popsugar, but now I have my link straight to Yumsugar!!!!!!
22foodgawker.com I used to use tastespotting but never switched back once the site went back up.
23Food Network, BBC Food and the Kitchen Goddess group of course.
24yumsugar!
25I agree with you stoopeed recipezaar.com is the best!
26I love allrecipes because you double(triple or whatever) online and it'll adjust the amount of the ingredients you need. Really helpful for people who are really dumb at math like me.
27im gonna say... yumsugar!
