NYT Cooking
For once, not a recommendation to read or watch something, but to actually do something. One of the lesser know gems of the New York Times is its cooking site. It has more than 15’000 recipes, convenient to browse and presented in a way that gets you in the mood for cooking (or eating, anyway). I also recommend subscribing to the site’s newsletter: It gives you an inspiration for your dinner every afternoon. Happy cooking.
