Cooking websites are online platforms that provide a wide range of resources related to cooking, including recipes, cooking techniques, ingredient information, and culinary tips. These websites cater to a broad audience, from novice cooks to professional chefs, offering content that enhances the cooking experience. Cooking websites have become increasingly popular due to the convenience of accessing a vast array of culinary information and inspiration from the comfort of one's home.

These platforms often include step-by-step cooking guides, video tutorials, and user-generated content such as reviews and modifications to recipes.
