Favorite Recipe Sites?

Postby DianeR » Wed Nov 08, 2006 7:14 am

Well, the thread title says it all.

I'm particularly interested in sites where you could feed in two or three major ingredients and possible recipes come up. For all those times I don't have the time (or will) to run to the market :D Is there such a beast?

Anyway, a comprehensive list of McDougall-friendly recipe sites would be useful.

Thanks!

Fat-free vegan is a great source for McDougall style recipes, as a matter of fact McDougall MWL is listed on the left of their web page. :-D
I think on that site it is easier to put in one ingredient and it will show a list of recipes, I have used it quite often. :-D
All the Best,

Marla, who posts here, has a nice website. If you haven't checked it out yet, here is the address:

http://vegsource.com/marla/


A site that I really like is this one:

http://www.all-creatures.org/recipes.html

It's vegetarian, but not everything is McDougall compliant. However, most of the recipes can be easily adapted. For example, they use olive oil in things and you can just leave it out.

I addiition to those listed above, http://heart.kumu.org/ has been one of my favorites...everything I've made from there has been really good. There is a fudgy chocolate syrupy cake on there that is just excellent and i'VE made it for lots of SAD guests who have always given it a thumbs up.

Another site I like is cat tea corner...mabye it's www.catteacorner.com but I'm not sure. They have great vegan recipes on there, but they almost all have oil, so I do lots of tweaking on those to make them McDougall...still, the ideas I get from those recipes always stick with me and I've made lots of good stuff from visiting that site.

www.pcrm.org
This is the Physicians for responsible medicine site and has some good recipes! Dr. Neal Barnard is the president, so it's reliable.

If I may respond to myself --

I was just browsing for a pumpkin bread recipe and found an interesting site. http://www.theppk.com/recipes/

You can search by main ingredient, course, author or name, plus dietary consideration (like wheat-free). People also offer their reviews of recipes -- nice because I've tried some things off the internet that aren't so nice. You can also post your own recipes.

This year I'm going to try things first before offering them at Thanksgiving; I made some absolutely dreadful low-fat cake one year on the basis of someone claiming it was good. :o No one that took a piece ate more than one bite and I had to throw it out. It was truly wretched stuff ...

Great site. You can modify the recipes to be vegan when necessary.

AllRecipes is the best

Postby Mallow » Mon Nov 27, 2006 6:50 pm

For just plain good recipes, I've found AllRecipes to be the best. It features a review recipe feature like Amazon does for books. It's nice to be able to cook only 4 or 5 star items and know your family will like them.

They don't have a large vegetarian or fat free section, but I've found that the best meals are the ones you've created yourself by altering favorite recipes. Haven't really seen a vegetarian site or fat free site or even a cookbook that had fat free recipes I've actually liked.
