There are two Asian food websites I can recomend, first a Thai food
site, who's Pad Thai recipie I have tried and can recommend quite
highly:

http://www.thaitable.com/

The second website is a collection of recipes taken from the cooking
column of an English language Malaysian newspaper (The Star):

http://www.kuali.com/

I have not yet tried any of CyberKuali recipes, but I do find it fun
just to occasionally have a look at some very different tastes. Also,
some of the things this site takes for granted have me going to a web
search engine, like as I write this note the reader poll on the
CyberKuali site is:

Bak kut teh lovers! A BKT meal is not complete without...

- Rice
- Mushrooms
- Yau char kwai
- Taupok
- Rice and at least one of the others

Now, thanks to Google I know "Bak kut teh" is a pork rib based soup or
stew. "Yau char kwai" a type of chinese fried pastry, and Taupok is
dried bean curd. Here obviously the creators of the CyberKuali site
assume that a large percentage of their readers not only know what
"Bak kut teh" is but, know it well enough to offer a reasonable
opinions as to what would make good side dishes. As I write this the
poll results a

Rice - 9%
Mushrooms - 6%
Yau char kwai - 38%
Taupok - 8%
Rice and at least one of the others - 39%

As for good French food websites, I don't know, and really ought to
given that after the United States, France is Canada's closest
neighbor (granted Canada is only close to a VERY small corner of
France, but hey, as neighbors go, while you could do somewhat better
than France, you could also do a LOT worse...).
