**Freeper Kitchen**

This is a topic suggested by ken5050. He recommended this after seeing a number of food websites he had not seen before. Thought it would be an interesting discussion about what other Freepers like as far as food related web sites.

Oh what fun....new sites!:)

Well.....FoodTV.com is an all time fave but I also enjoy Kopycat.com if I’m trying to duplicate a recipe.

And who could forget cookingwithpam.com!

Look forward to seeing the responses!

I’m going to have to check out that chowhound link. Besides foodnetwork.com, I’ve gotten good tips from GourmetSleuth.com and Recipezaar.com. Found out how to make a reasonable substitution for creme fraiche and marscapone. Neither is available in any stores around here. Finally spotted anchovy paste in a tube at Stater Bros.

One site that I recently discovered is

www.allrecipes.com.

I like it because you can type in ingredients that you have on hand and it will give you recipes containing those ingredients. I think it’s great for one of those I-haven’t-got-a-clue-what-to-cook days.

Also, www.leftoverchicken.com has some great recipes for - you guessed it - leftover chicken. Also, it’s great for recipes for one or two people.

This is a wonderful idea! Should keep me busy for awhile!

I like to put meals into the freezer but am not a once a month cooking person. I just like easy to freeze meals. So here are a few of my favorites related to that topic!

http://www.30daygourmet.com/
http://hardys.freeservers.com/plans.htm
http://snider.mardox.com/plans.htm
http://www.realfood4realpeople.com/oamc.html
http://www.recipezaar.com/ (This one is great for any recipe but has tons of OAMC recipes.)
http://oamc.8m.com/ (The “Dump Chicken” site...so easy!)

Hope these work for all of you!

Well, obviously, if you can’t find creme fraiche or marscapone locally, there’s only one thing for you to do..move..(g)

I love to lurk at Chowhound.com. Lots of leftys there, though, especially in my area.

It’s fun to read the local restaurant reviews. A recent poster shared that she choose a place because they advertise on Air America and have “fair” labor practices. Thanks for sharing lady. Now I know where NOT to go.

I just went through the site briefly, and I detected a definite whiff of liberalism. The site looks good, but I’m afraid that the info is not aimed at someone like me.

I just checked out tastespotting. Bookmarked! I found a recipe for pickled watermelon rind. Don’t laugh, that stuff is yummy! If I get a chance to make it, I’m going to add some chopped fresh ginger for some added zing :)

Thanks. I just added them to my Favorites list. My mother had a Kenmore 14 sq. ft. stand up freezer and it was wonderful. I’ve always wanted one. I figure I could put it in my extra bedroom. I hate being limited to the little one on top of the refrigerator. It is on my wish list.
