Where can I find tasty recipes online? (intermediate cook)
Epicurious features recipes from the magazines Bon Appetit and Gourmet with ratings and reviews by users so you can find the best ones.

Best answer: most people seem to like epicurious or allrecipes, the former being collections from cooking magazines, and the latter being posted by everyday users.
If you're looking for more headiness and commentary, I recommend Harold Mcgee's blog/NYT column The Curious Cook, whose author also wrote the book many chefs consider to be the most important book ever.

Best answer: taste.com.au
thepioneerwoman.com/tasty-kitchen/
smittenkitchen.com/
and if I have a particular recipe or ingredients in mind, I just google with a blog as a search term as well and it usually brings up something tasty!

My favorite go-to site is this one. Among the various publications represented there, I can always find something intriguing to make and most of the recipes are pretty simple.

I have fallen for supercook.com.
You input the contents of your pantry/freezer/fridge/cupboards, and it tells you what recipes you can make. The recipes are direct links to epicurious, recipezaar, allrecipes, etc...

Best answer: Seconding smittenkitchen.com, her potato/squash torte is one of my favorite foods ever (and a link I found on askmefi no less.).
Oh, I forgot to also suggest foodnetwork.com. But be careful, a ton of their pages have automagic videos.

Incredible recipes. Some super simple (try the pad prik king).
Spectacular photos.

Best answer: One that hasn't been mentioned and of which I'm very fond is Simply Recipes. Everything I've made from her recipes has been excellent, and there's often good feedback from other cooks (suggestions for variations, etc.) in the comments.

I actually pay ($35 a year, I think) to access all the content on Cooks Illustrated. And I am a serious cheapskate. It's that good. There are a lot of fine resources here, but Cook's Illustrated is the only source I've ever encountered whose recipes always turn out perfect. Every. Single. Time.

The Post Punk Kitchen is a vegan site, but I'm not vegan and I still tend to use it (and the cookbooks released by the author) more than most other sources.

This might sound stupid, but I have the Stumble web-bar. (Stumble.com)
When I'm looking for a new recipe to try, I stumble Food. I have found some completely random, and completely awesome, reciples.

Seconding LadyBug_Parade. Why? If you want to take your cooking to the next level AND at the same time understand how all that goodness comes together AND be pretty much guaranteed that the final dish will be yummy and tasty, then Cook's Illustrated (print or online) is for you. They're just that good, and detailed, and reliable.
