Favorite Cooking/Recipe website?

Hey guys, I'm looking for a good website to get recipes from, but I'd rather not pay for a membership or anything. What do you suggest?

I have some other questions.

Can you provide a web address?

Does the website let you share your own recipes?

Does the website let users rate, grade, or review the recipes?

    I like the food networks website. I watch a lot of the shows and go there to get the recipes. I like that they tell you the degree of difficulty making them. You can sign in and put the recipes into a recipe file for yourself.

    http://www.foodnetwork.com/

    Found these as well:

    CDKitchen.com

    Of all of the recipe websites on the Internet, CDKitchen.com is my favorite. You can store and organize recipes, search for new recipes and rate and review the recipes you've tried. What I really like is the fact that you can read other user's reviews of the recipes, which means you'll know exactly what you're in for (and if you should tweak the recipe at all) before you even begin.

    DesktopCookbook.com

    I personally use DesktopCookbook.com on a weekly basis and it's one of my favorites. Not only can I store and organize my own recipes in my account, but I can view thousands of other recipes shared by other members and import them into my cookbook too. The best part? I don't pay a penny. The service is free. The only thing I find lacking is the fact that you can't rate the recipes you try, so getting input from other users on a particular recipe isn't possible.

    AllRecipes.com

    As far as recipes go, AllRecipes.com is right up there with CDKitchen.com and DesktopCookbook. You can also rate recipes (and read other user's ratings) as well. That's a huge plus in my book. You also have the option of changing between US and Metric measurements for each of the recipes on the site.

    If you're anything like me and you find yourself struggling to get away from the monotony of your recipe books, these sites are an absolute must. Since frequenting these recipe websites my family has yet to mutter "not again!" when I putter dinner on the table.

    My favorites are FoodNetwork.com, Cooks.com and KraftFoods.com

    The positive the last two websites let you share your own recipes. I do not think FoodNetwork does, though.

    All three let users rate, grade and review recipes.

    One of my favorites is Semi-homemade with Sandra Lee she is on food network. Her recipes are so easy they use store bought products that she doctors or combines to make easy great tasting dishes. I have tried many of her recipes and her drinks are all delicious.

    allrecipes.com and foodnetwork.com are probably the most popular. the food network has recipes from the shows and all recipes is pretty much an online recipe database created by people like us and also has recipes added from top cooking magazines.

    hope this helps!

    I like pillsbury and Bisquick. They are both free and they send you recipes and coupons. Just google the two.
