For paid options, the best is the ATK/CI site.

The reason they're head and shoulders above anything else is quality control. You don't have to worry about a recipe being good or not because they test them so much. Even the NYT, which has more adventurous choices, aren't anywhere near as reliable.

I was gonna pay them but between that an the fragmented walled nature of their site I decided not to give them any money. Shame really

it really is unfortunate that - especially in this case - the content creators are great at their legacy content model, and terrible at getting it out there as a meaningful digital business.

I subscribed happily during and after college. CI is truly a beautiful magazine, with a mix of foundational information and rock solid recipes. It helped me learn to feed myself and know my way around produce beyond "lettuce" etc.

Haven't tried their website, so many of their recipes on my shelf, and so many pilfered on other sites as it is.

It's great until you want to cancel; they require you to call their customer support number to do so.

I got so pissed off by this that I rang them up right after subscribing and cancelled. At least they lost one customer for it.
