Not all culinary sites are equally useful - many of them simply reprint each other, decorating the text with randomly selected photos. To save you from disappointment and material losses (after all, it is so offensive to throw the result of many hours of work into the trash bin), we have selected Top 10 Cooking Sites with photos and step-by-step home cooking recipes. Their LiveInternet statistics were the highest over the past month, and their reviews were the best.
10. Calorizator
The rating of culinary sites according to LiveInternet opens a little outside the box. In tenth place is the site dedicated to diets. Well, even people watching weight want to eat not only low-calorie, but also tasty.
On Calorizator.ru you can find many recipes for dietary dishes, the content of proteins, fats and carbohydrates in which are weighed with great precision. Thanks to the search system on the site, you can select products with the required calorie content or with the desired used content, as well as find out what distinguishes healthy food from unhealthy, and what other chemical additives are in our food.
9. Kedem
The exotic name "Kedem" stands for "Culinary Eden". According to the creators of the site, their goal was to create a culinary portal for those who have food - not only throwing the required amount of proteins, fats and carbohydrates into the furnace of the body.
The site contains both simple and reliable (albeit unpretentious) home cooking recipes, as well as chic holiday ones. Recipes with photos will help beginners. And for advanced housewives with an abundance of household appliances, there are special recipes for quality multicooker, air ovens, steamers, bread makers and so on.
8. Deli
Once, thanks to thin magazines from Gastronom, residents of the post-Soviet space learned to blanch tomatoes and mastered such exotic things as chickpeas and mung bean. And the magazine's website is just a culinary song: there are not only step-by-step recipes with photographs, but also detailed descriptions of how to cook this or that product. And, which is important, how beautifully it is designed and presented.
The site also has a store where you can order paper editions of your favorite recipes, your own culinary school, and if you are tired of standing at the stove - even a restaurant rating.
7. Cooking at home
Unlike previous sites, Cooking at Home content is updated not only by employees, but also by users themselves. By registering on the site, you can add your recipe, as well as participate in the rating.
In addition to the usual division into appetizers, salads, main courses, preparations, and so on, recipes are also grouped according to the cuisines of the peoples of the world. For religious and sympathetic people there is a special section "Lenten recipes", and for those who like outdoor recreation - "Barbecue". Those interested can download a program for recording site recipes, which can be used offline.
6. Koolinar
And this culinary community brings together skilled culinary experts who are not afraid of difficulties and do not fall into a stupor at the word "culinary experiment".In addition to many complex (and not so) recipes, here Russian-speaking chefs from all over the world exchange experiences, share cooking secrets and help each other feel like a culinary guru.
Popular authors organize master classes, exchange opinions on the forum, and thanks to a well-thought-out system of recipe collections, any visitor can choose something interesting for himself. It is important that the interface of the site is calm, dull, modern. And if others don't like your recipes, don't worry, negative comments can be safely removed.
5. 1000.menu
For eight years of existence of the site of recipes, it has accumulated a lot. Fortunately, thanks to a sophisticated search system, finding a recipe will not be a problem; you can search not only by the available products, but also by excluding the unnecessary. There is also a search by calorie content, cooking time and recipe difficulty level. You can save what you like in your favorites.
The purpose of creating the site is to help the housewife, who is forced to cook for the whole family, to break out of the vicious circle of familiar recipes and somehow diversify the menu. And women sitting with small children can earn some money - orders for recipes are published on the site.
4. Cook
The number of recipes on this site, popular and beloved by women in the post-Soviet space, is amazing - there are 129,544 of them. And all, as it is said, have been verified by experience. The recipes are regularly updated - after all, the site is one of the most popular in the Russian Internet.
However, with such a large community, friction between visitors is inevitable. Many recipes are published several times under different names, photos are "edited" by Photoshop, and old users are not very friendly to newbies.
3. We eat at home!
The three leaders in the world of culinary sites are opened by Eating at Home, a creative project from Yulia Vysotskaya. In addition to the recipes of Julia herself, there are lovingly preserved all the TV broadcasts of the program of the same name, which can be viewed online. In general, the resource was planned as a kind of culinary social network, where everyone can present their products to the public.
According to visitors to this resource, some of the recipes are even better than those of Julia herself. There is an encyclopedia of products on the site, which tells in detail about their history and methods of preparation. Still everyone praises the very convenient and well thought out search system on the site.
2. Povar.ru
One of the specialties of Povara.ru is the recipe catalog. The desired recipe can be found not only by ingredients, but also by the type of dish, the purpose of its creation (quick breakfast, gala lunch, romantic dinner, etc.), national cuisine, a certain type of household appliances (oven, multicooker, etc.) and even the type food (for example, a raw food diet or wholesome food). And in the section "We are cooking" there are step-by-step instructions for making various dishes prepared by the site's chefs.
1. RussianFood.com
The name is deceptive - in addition to the primordially primitive okroshka, botvinia and beef stroganoff, beshbarmak, chakhokhbili and even French meat are also present on the best culinary site of the Runet. But seriously, the most popular culinary site on the Runet, according to LiveInternet, contains not only domestic recipes, but also a large number of instructions for preparing dishes from various countries with a variety of ingredients, including the most exotic ones.
In addition, the site contains many recipes for food for special categories of the population - athletes, vegetarians, people suffering from diseases that require a special diet, small children, and so on.
