I first check to see if Alton Brown has done something similar and if not then i go for allrecipes.com. I read all of them and mix and match to suite my tastes and available supplies. Remember you don't need to follow a recipe exactly (except maybe in baking, but I don't bake). If it calls for green peppers and you like red peppers, use the red, or use 1/2 and 1/2.

Experiment. Cooking should be fun. The more fun you have, the better the meal will be.
