+1 for Food Wishes. Chef John's recipes are simple enough for anyone to cook and very tasty! His dad humor is a bonus too :)

RecipeTinEats is one of my faves. Tasty, wide range of dishes up my cooking alley, and a little more complex than BudgetBytes, which is my other go-to but for dead simple and cheap but not bad food.
This is such a good recommendation! I like BudgetBytes but find myself having to doctor up a lot of the recipes. I already see like ten things I want to try from RecipeTinEats.
You won't go wrong.
Recipetineats.japan is also her mum's blog specialising in authentic Japanese .
I've been cooking through Simple by Yotam Ottolenghi
At first I thought it was one of those "15 minute weeknight meals" books that are focused on skipping steps and ignoring technique, but it's the exact opposite. The recipes are fantastic and I've collected a nice pantry of ingredients I wouldn't otherwise buy.
Thanks for this recommendation! I'm always looking for simple and fast recipes. 99% of the time they start with "pull out the slow cooker" or "open up a can of Campbell's". This looks more up my alley.
Will have to check this out. We like his Jerusalem book.
Kenji is my go to choice for most things.
More niche but I’ll mention the ramen_lord Book of Ramen if you ever want to make homemade ramen (or even just sprucing up instant ramen with authentic toppings).
I recently discovered IndianHealthyRecipes.com, his chicken tikka masala and chicken biryani have become regular favorites at our house.
Chinese Cooking Demistifyed and School Of Wok. Pleasant to watch and cook from as well. I learned a great deal about wok cooking and care from these.
For Chinese I usually hit up the Woks of Life, but sometimes I just search the name of the meal and compare recipes, like with beer duck or more specific regional dishes.
Made With Lau is my go-to. Great vibe and wonderful family.
The closest of that for me would be GialloZafferano. However I usually websearch multiple recipes for the same dish, to get a good idea on variation, so I don't usually rely on a single website or chef.
Might not be cooking, but you can't beat Sally's baking addiction for baking.
Chetna on YouTube is a great resource for Indian dishes and techniques. For budget cooking I like Ethan Chlebowski, and for amazing quick and dirty technique and ingredient showcases I like Internet Shaquille
Ethan Chlebowski has become one of my favorites, his budget and healthy meal stuff is great.
I’ma fan of Minimalist Baker. They specialize in meals with a limited number of ingredients that can be made in 30 minutes or less, often with only one bowl. They include meals for both vegans and people who like meat.
Depending on what I am making, but I regularly use Serious Eats and The Mediterranean Dish for cooking and mostly Sally's Baking Addiction for baking.
I like JustOneCookbook for Japanese food. Most of the ingredients on her recipes are easily available. I've tried her recipes and they taste good. She also has recipes for ingredients that aren't easily available so you can make your own.
brian lagerstrom on youtube is in high rotation in my house. he came from kitchens and researches his recipes really well. my only quibble is that his delivery style is a little frantic but easily solved if you crank the video speed down to 90% or grab his recipes directly from his website
I watch a lot of Brian's videos but only recently tried to make a recipe. I'd agree that it's a bit fast-paced, but I prefer that to an extra long video with a bunch of filler.
As you say, it's best to just follow the recipe and check the video as you go for technique if needed.
The recipe(s) (beef burgers on homemade buns) turned out fantastic, despite my wife's attempt to sabotage the buns by preheating the wrong oven for a cake she was making.
BBC good food. Usually a decent recipe.
Chef-wise I have a couple of Madhur Jaffrey books I use for curries, and then the flavour bible for cooking stuff generally that I'm comfortable with the base recipe for.
Love serious eats. The food lab is amazing and probably my go to for techniques and recipes.
I have a subscription to the NYT cooking app which is also great for inspiration.
I also just love peoples YouTube recipes whether it be chef John, binging with banish, or Joshua Weissman.
I recently made the NYT caramelized shallot pasta and it is SO good. I haven't bought a subscription yet, but I may need to get on that...
Rick Bayless for Mexican food!
I love Pies & Tacos for macarons.
Made some great sourdough from The Perfect Loaf.
I use supercook.com when I want to find recipes for specific ingredients.
Recipetineats.
These recipes are that good and easy that I worship Nagi Maehashi.
Adam Liaw (Masterchef Australia) is one of my all-time favourites - https://www.youtube.com/@adamliaw
Andy Cooks I've been getting into lately - https://www.youtube.com/@andy_cooks
Babish has a good variety as well - https://www.youtube.com/@babishculinaryuniverse
Chef Ranveer for Indian - https://www.youtube.com/@RanveerBrar
The "What's Eating Dan" series from America's Test Kitchen is also great for a more scientific look at cooking - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnbzopdwFrnZc-UgGYETAQair7VzS7_Z8
nami-nami.ee, a small recepie sharing site from my country, feels cozy
Probably not a lot of Indian cuisine fans, but my favorites are showmethecurry.com, vahrehvah.com, and Ministry of Curry, though I'm also fond of tarladalal and Manjula's Kitchen.

And of course the cookbooks and recipes handed down from mine and my wife’s parents and grandmother
