What's your go-to recipe site?

The trick is knowing that 80% of recipes online are written by people who have no idea what the fuck they're talking about. Even the ones that know their stuff will occasionally give bad advice. But we can still make use of their recipes by using the phenomenon called the wisdom of the crowd.

Google the name of the dish that you want to make.
Then copy the ingredient amounts of the first 10 recipes into notepad.
Then convert all measurements to grams.
Then convert the measurements to percentages of the total weight.
Then take the interquartile mean of the different percentages for each ingredient.
Then adjust the percentages so that they add up to 100%.
Then decide the amount you want to make, and use the percentages to determine the amount of each ingredient.
Review the actual cooking methods provided in the recipes and use your own judgement as to how best combine the ingredients.
Then cook it, write down the ingredient amounts and technique used, eat it, analyze it, adjust the recipe accordingly and cook it again until it's perfect.

This is a method that I have developed that I call Analytic Cooking.

If you adjust the measurements to percentages of total weight then you have already adjusted percentages so that they add up to 100%.

You are a huge fucking idiot for not considering that in your pasta.

Yeah budget bytes is pretty good. Most of the stuff is pretty edible and good.

Chef John is also good. And the kitchn still puts out a few non click bait articles.

as long as Kenji or Daniel has written the recipe, the others aren't as trustworthy
although Bravetart is putting out some good content there now too
