I tend to get them mostly either directly from the Good Food magazine or from their website :

http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/

It has a good search engine so you can find recipes by what ingredients are in it or what it is for. Plus it provides the nutritional values so unlike most recipes I can check the sat fat content which is useful.

I usually use family recipes that have been in my family for years and years and years! But sometimes because of my allergies I make them different so they are nut free!

Allrecipies is pretty good. I also asked my friend who used to compete in 4H cooking competitions. They have to figure out the nutrition for those competitions, at least in the ones she and her family have been in. And since she's right there with me she can help me with techniques

It depends. I mostly eat Asian food because of my family, but I love the youtube show "Cooking with Dog" for Japanese food. Also I use cookbooks sometime. But for the majority of my everyday cooking I'll just experiment with what's around the house or find basic recipes and spice them up.

I use google and allrecipes but sometimes I use foodnetwork and epicurious. I forget what else, there are so many because of google. xD

I hardly ever use recipes.
Since I've begun Culinary School all my chefs
told me to stop worrying about a recipe and focus on technique.
Once you've got the technique down you can create any dish basically.
I look at recipes now as a guide and inspiration when I'm in a block.
Even before I joined school I never had recipes I just threw things together and experimented.

A Finnish recipe site (kotikokki.net) and Finnish baking blogs.

America-based recipe sites tend to use imperial units and ingredients not available over here.

I use Allrecipes, I also love Martha Steward and sometimes I just google what I'm looking for and find a recipe I like. When I'm at my moms house I like to look in her Joy of Cooking book.

Usually it goes family, magazines, internet, then personal experience. I cook more from personal experience and bake more from recipes.
I really want to get better, especially when it comes to cooking every day meals.
