It has been a scarcely any months since I've included a food-related site in this rounded pillar But now that I have a bit more time to garble I went searching for modern inspiration. RecipeSource includes over 70000 (!) recipes, which have been mustered since 1993 by the site's creator, her friends, and prepare for the tables around the world. The beauty of this site (besides the delicious be deriveds in your kitchen) is its simplicity.

There is a section that addresses special dietary indigences such as gluten-free foods and recipes for diabetics, and you can smooth find a list of extra terrestrial and bizarre recipes (Vulcan Carrot Loaf, anyone?). The advanced search tool is fairly flexible, and permits phrase and "not" queries.
