There are a few resources I have discovered to be useful. I periodically update this page whenever I find a fun website that is inspiring. The links are included below:~ On the Kendall Jackson website there is an amazing food and wine pairing guide. You can search by type of wine to see which foods would pair best with the wine you have on hand. It does not include all of the varietals. Therefore, I will sometimes use this other Food and Wine Pairing website. It is limited with courses, but it helps with selecting which main dishes will taste best with a certain wine. This other Pairing webpage is also helpful in regards to explaining why certain wines pair well with certain foods.
~ The NY Times has a great vegetarian recipe database. You can enter in a vegetable or other ingredient (e.g., molasses) and it brings up a bunch of recipes to make as side dishes or main courses. It also has desserts, muffins, etc.
~ Martha Stewart has a great seasonal produce recipe guide. When you click on one of the items, it provides a little background and what it is often used for.
