All of the recipes are in the same basic format, and are ready for printing. You can add your own recipes or download the collection for private use free of charge.

Pillsbury Bake Off Winners  One of the nice things about the Bake Off recipes is that they are generally simple and fast to make. I have used a number of their recipes, and been pleasantly surprised by their high quality.

It is based on the current year's wine guide and contains a number of food categories to choose from. This site is certainly worth some more attention.

Cooking Light  Based on the magazine of the same name, this site features plenty of recipes, fitness and health information. For those who are unfamiliar with the magazine, Cooking Light provides excellent recipes, at least the equal of Food & Wine, Gourmet, or Bon Appetit. The only difference is their concern for health and fitness which leads them to lighten recipes when possible. However, they never go overboard, and always leave the real butter or cream when a substitution just won't do. The search tool is fairly robust, and in addition to the recipes and articles, the site includes a bulletin board for your questions and or recipe search.

Cucina Online  This site has the advantage of containing a lot of Italian recipes, but its users are at a disadvantage when trying to find them.

Cucina Online also contains a good section on Italian wines and a useful glossary.
