Culinary Stars

Aga Nirvana reaches new heights with Amy Willcock on hand.

Antony Worrall Thompson's searchable database of recipes on the site is definitely worth subscribing too.

All about Claire Macdonald, the hotel, the cooking demonstrations, luxury foods and books.

One to visit frequently if you're interested in good (and precise) home cooking.

Jamie Oliver's website is full of bounce.

Roll over Nigella.

Satisfying for anyone who loves oriental food or producing glamorous restaurant-style dishes at home.

A site for fans and potential clients, anyone with a crush on Nick will like it, and for foodie epostcards, this is the top choice.

Nigella Lawson's relaunced website is great. Catch up with her news, recipes and kitchen chit chat.

The design is so simple it verges on uninspiring. But those interested in serious recipes rather than atmospheric pictures and design with bells-on will definitely find something of interest

Raymond Blanc, Manoir aux Quat'Saisons. No need to say more.

Rick Stein's website gives you an excellent idea of what to expect from him when visiting Padstow.

Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's River Cottage site is a breath of fresh air.

John and Matt Thorne are dedicated to quality food and serious writing, and their attitude is unpretentious and gimmick-free. Those who think similarly will want to visit this site often.

A great site for foodies, simple but informative, and bridging the gap between professionals and the general public.

Nancy is in danger here of being perceived as a personality rather than a culinary authority whose work is worth purchasing. More fresh editorial content would be welcome - perhaps an archive of the recipes sent out by email, and links to recommended suppliers of speciality ingredients. The snapshots are an indulgent waste of bandwidth.
