Someone recently asked me what cookbooks I use the most, and I responded I shocked myself even when I said none of them. For the majority of my non-magazine recipes, I turn primarily to the web. Many websites or blogs now have my most frequently used cookbook recipes posted there. I just type in an ingredient or two and up comes a plethra of great recipes, many tried and true. The web is a fantastic source for cooking information! I read his comments as well and couldn’t believe it.

Finding something on the web is as much about knowing where to start your search as it is being able to gauge your results. Then again, aren't food magazines and food websites in direct competition with one another and serving (mostly) different market segments with only a small crossover? I wonder if JP's opinion is common to most print-magazine readers.
