I wanted to start a thread to share some of my favorite blogs and cookbooks. I hope we can use this thread to share new blogs or cookbooks as they become available.
Cookbooks Patti Jinich- Treasures of the Mexican Table This is a fantastic cookbook that’s broadened my understanding of Mexican cuisine. The Achiote Chicken in particular is always a crowd pleaser.
The Woks of life blog and cookbook has been in the rotation of our weekly meals for some time now. I originally tried their chicken and brocolli recipe as our local Chinese restaurant is not that great. I have come to love their ultimate chili oil. It’s kinda like the Frank’s Red Hots commercial- I put it on everything.
Blogs
I love these two blogs, as they are fantastic introductions to Japanese and Korean cooking.
Just one cookbook The Oyakdon recipe from here might be one of my favorite meals hands down. Simple, easy to throw together and great flavor.
Korean Bapsang The bibimbap recipe is a great starting point to introduce yourself to Korean cuisine. I wasn’t a huge fan of it while I lived there, but it has really grown on me since returning to the States.
Edit: future dish has a fantastic fresh kimchi recipe that lives in our fridge. It tastes exactly like my lunch ladies in Korea made. Most of their stuff is tasty.

Haven’t seen anyone mention chef John from food wishes He has a YouTube and all his recipes are also on Allrecipes.com
I really wish I could get over his cadence in videos. The recipes look good, but I can’t stand his way of talking.
A few of my favorite cookbooks, tools, and websites.
Cookbooks
- America’s Test Kitchen - I pay for the subscription. It is technically 3 websites in 1 and includes recipes from all of their print books.
- Cooking for Two - ATK’s physical cookbook has been great for making enough for one person, plus leftovers for later. Or just enough for me and my partner.
- Cooking for One - ATK’s physical cookbook for just one person.
- You Suck at Cooking - great cookbook and awesome Youtube channel.
- Nom Nom Paleo: Food for Humans - cookbook full of paleo recipes that actually taste good. Got me to buy fish sauce for the first time. 🎉 Her blog is very cute too.
Tools/Websites
Great thread - bookmarked! I find BBC Good Food has good recipes which tend to turn into my favs.
That’s at the top of my mind, but there’s a few so I will come back tomorrow and add more!
Moosewood Simple Suppers and Weeknight One-Pot Vegan Cooking are two books I use regularly, and I swear by Cookie and Kate as well.
I’ve gotten a significant amount of mileage out of BudgetBytes. I especially enjoy the ingredient cost breakdowns even if they’re outdated or inaccurate. My other big source lately has been Food Network’s Worst Cooks in America (typically features dishes that are easy to learn)
- America’s Test Kitchen - I pay for the subscription. It is technically 3 websites in 1 and includes recipes from all of their print books.
