Greetings fellow practitioners of meat, heat, and eat.....

The whole lock down has has me doing much more cooking, and branching out quite a bit. I've dabbled in Asian and Indian style recipes more, and prepared a few more complex versions of American faire. While the base recipes have been generally good, some needed punching up to make them exceptional.

The Egghead Forum has helped me up my game at the grille. I wonder if there's a similar forum for stove and oven cooking? I'd like to find a group where I can discuss recipe science with other members.

Suggestions welcome! Thanks in advance.

    Probably not quite what you want, but lots of good cooks showing their meals, and often giving methods:

    I'd hit YouTube and find channels you like. 

    It won't help with the back and forth, and I don't know what stage of lockdown your area is in, but if public libraries are open, that is a great place to try out cookbooks.  Go and get 5-6 cookbooks covering the cuisine you want to deep dive on and read, compare the recipes within, etc.

    I turn to Saveur when I’m looking for new cook ideas. Used to enjoy the magazine, but I think caliqueen quietly cancelled the subscription. Something about too many cooking magazine subscriptions. The website has a lot of free content, but drives me nuts with all the pop-ups, animations, etc. 

    Fine Cooking is another good one. 

    But this forum is actually the best cooking resource I know of. Bread, BBQ, sous vide... you name it and there are experts here. Pick almost any type of cuisine from around the world, some seasoned cooks will help out with suggestions.

    A very wide range of interests, cooking and otherwise, are represented here.

    @caliking I went to Saveur’s website. They had a “Memorial Day grilling” article. It was mostly how cooking a steak over charcoal is superior to gas (their assessment). What amused me however was their explanation. They said that the rendered fat falling on the coals generated the smoke that flavored the meat....
    Well - I don’t know about you but I prefer clean smoke flavor over burned fat flavor lol. 

    I guess if there is any point it’s just to recognize the quality of advice and the information one can get right here if we just pay attention. 

    I’m nit picking though. Their website had some good information. I’ll probably visit again.

    @SciAggie I should have clarified that I look to Saveur for international/ethnic cooking, sides, and sometimes desserts.  I would have ignored the kind of article you mentioned, because I know where I can get more credible advice for that kind of stuff (i.e. here). 

    They have some good collections of recipes from all over the world. I've found good Iranian, Turkish, Indonesian, Chinese, Thai, and Pakistani recipes there. Have almost always turned out  well.
