Pippen Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Recipezaar used to be my first stop when I was hunting for new recipes but I've been incredibly frustrated with it since the changeover to Food.com. The recipes are still there (as far as I can tell) but it slow as molasses to load, the useful search by ingredient feature is gone (or at least I can't find it), and the drop down menu that allows searching by rating, relevancy, etc. is far slower than the old version and I used that constantly. I'm on the search for a new favorite recipe site. What works well for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetbasil Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 I use Epicurious quite a lot and have for several years. Another good site for recipes (not as many tho) is the Food Network site, esp. Alton Brown and Ina Garten's recipes. In general, I'd say Allrecipes is the closest sub for Recipezaar. I am right there with you on the Recipezaar change. I don't like the new site at all, and the name change is lame. I think they've lost a good number of their mods due to the changes.

duckens Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 I am also a Recipezaar fan. Let's just say that I don't deal well with change. Of course, every time Newsweek magazine changes editors, their format changes, too, and disgruntles me. I haven't canceled my subscription for Newsweek in nearly 20 years.

brijen97 Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 I like tastykitchen.com and my husband likes eatingwell.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dobela Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 nourishnetwork.com is not too bad. I just discovered it recently. Allrecipes.com is probably the first one I go to each time though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahousefullofjs Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 I'm right there with ya, I can't stand the new site. Now my go-to recipe site is Allrecipes, I find it has all the features the Zaar used to have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crissy Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 my go-to recipe site is Allrecipes :iagree: I love AllRecipes for the volume of recipes, and the search-by-ingredient feature. Simply Recipes is by far my favorite food blog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angela in ohio Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 I use Allrecipes.com. We are making the top-rated chocolate chip cookies as I type this (by we, I mean that I am sitting in the kitchen while my 14 yo makes them.) :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie in CA Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Allrecipes is always my first stop, followed by Epicurious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

littlebug42 Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Thank you for this thread. I have been a loyal Recipezaar fan and I also hate the new site. I used to always search by rating and it never failed me but it is just too hard now. Hate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brilliant Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 I hate the changes, too. It used to be so easy to search by ingredient. I was looking for a specific peanut-butter brownie recipe the other day. It came up with more than 300, and I couldn't search by ingredient. I gave up - didn't have time to open 300 recipes to find the right one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LauraGB Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Um. I didn't know about Food.com before this thread. Now I'm mildly addicted :blushing:. I rarely went to recipezaar (because I didn't like the layout at all) and usually opted for allrecipes, but now...well, my family's belly thanks you, but that's about it. I...can't...tear...myself...away... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pippen Posted September 17, 2010 Author Share Posted September 17, 2010 I...can't...tear...myself...away... Well, at least they have one satisfied customer. ;) Thanks to everyone for the suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
