Barefoot Contessa Home Site
Ina Garten is a wonderful cook and cookbook author whos recipes work. Her style is straighforward but delivers elegant and satisfying taste. If you own any of her cookbooks she has great printable indexes of all her recipes.
Williams Sonoma
Wondeful information and recipes. These cookbooks are usually great.
Foster's Market
This site is terrific not only because you can order lots of yummy things, but because you it has a "recipe of the month" along with an archive of recipes from past months...all from one (or the other) of Sara Fosters cookbooks. A great way to try before you buy!
