I love the site that Esmer recommended in another post -
www.foodsubs.com
I use
www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/
for getting recipes and stuff - anyone got any other good cooking sites?
Just about to try Jerk Chicken for the first time tonight - wish me luck!

Do you mind American standard measurements? None of the sites I frequent use metric.

LOL!
Menolly I NEVER measure stuff properly! I understand enough imperial to know whether something is alot or alittle or abitinbetween.
So yes, even American imperial sites would be welcome.
I thought the problems would be with names of things (corgette/zuchini, coriander/cilantro?) I didn't even consider the measurement side of things.
It's odd isn't it? I'm sure most US people would consider themselves to have more in common with UK/Ireland than other European countries, and vice-versa, but FOOD is baffling different, both in terms of culture and nomenclature. Prime example: CURRY!
ps the jerk chicken was lovely, but tasted absolutely NOTHING like it should have done
Result!

Actually coriander and cilantro are different things from the same plant. Cilantro is the leaves and coriander is the seed....big taste difference when you are cooking....

They're all in 'Favorites,' Av. It did take me three attempts to format the sites to post though.
And I can't believe I forgot the classic:
AllRecipes.com

Thanks Menolly that list may take me some time to get through!
(And Lorelei, Coriander over this side of the Atlantic means the leaves, either fresh or dried; a recipe will say specifically 'coriander seeds' if that is what is required)
(Except now I'm doubting myself!)

This one isn't a recipe site...
But very interesting, and very dedicated, I only wish I had the perserverance to be able to do something like it:

I think you're right. It's the same here in SA, which is probably the fault of the Brits.
Coriander is coriander. (I don't like it though.

Do you not like the seeds or the leaves? They have remarkably different tastes....
