Here’s what Table365 partners Kimberly and Sharon have to say:

I love food and I love to eat so I look for recipes and inspiration anywhere and everywhere! Magazines, cookbooks, restaurants,markets,  friends, websites, and blogs.  I also use all of Kimberly’s recipe sources, and in addition to Ina Garten (Barefoot Contessa) and Mark Bittman, I also rely on the big yellow Gourmet Cookbook edited by Ruth Reichl for an endless supply of excellent recipes.    I like to read cookbooks like novels so I am always scanning the library for new cookbooks and I usually bring a stack home to read based on the season or my current food interest.  If I mark a number of the recipes then I buy the book because I know I will use it multiple times.  I especially like to use local recipe sources (magazines, cookbooks, websites from local chefs and cooks) because I know I will be able to find local, high quality ingredients .

Most of the recipes I use on a weekly basis are ones I have used again and again over many years. I keep track of them on my Family Favorites List where I reference the source of each recipe. That makes it easier for me to find them again.

There are times when I really do need new inspiration so here are a few of my favorite resources – some are old reliables, some are recent finds (a few of the online resources also have apps that make it easy to search on the go):

• Barefoot Contessa Cookbooks – I have them all and know that all her recipes will turn out great. I found a great combined index for all her cookbooks on her website that makes searching for a specific recipe or by ingredient incredibly easy.
• Mark Bittman, How to Cook Everything – This has been a great resource and I keep learning a lot about improvising from all the suggestions he offers.
• Food52 – Lots of good inspiration, although I think of these as more “foodie” recipes.
• SmittenKitchen – A fellow blogger with some very accessible recipes.
• Cook’s Illustrated – Requires a subscription for many recipes, but another reliable source for me.
• Epicurious and Allrecipes – These are especially useful when searching for something to make with a specific ingredient.
