I'm looking for some French-language recipes, but I don't really know
who the French equivalents of people like Epicurious, Food Network, and
the like are. Anyone here know who the more reliable francophone recipe
websites are?

I do know that much. What I'm wondering is what websites a francophone
might recommend -- I can find websites easily enough, but I don't know
what's good.

Maybe ask at a French group like alt.fr.informations or
fr.rec.cuisine?

Thought of it, but I'm better at reading French than I am writing it. I
agree it's worth a try though.

I'm sorry -- didn't mean to seem hostile. I did try it, and, well, I
didn't know the French ate cornbread -- going to give it a try sometime
against my usual Cooks Illustrated recipe.

I guess what I was getting at is that popularity isn't quite what I was
looking for, more which sites have the better recipes. Like Rachael vs.
Alton -- the former is far more popular, but the latter is much more
reliable. It'll be a nice trick finding the type 55 flour for the
baguette recipe I found though.

Above is a link to a Google Search for "recettes cuisine" for pages in
French only

Have a look at some of the results and see if any of them take your fancy

If you do your searches in French, you will find good Websites. It's up
to you to decide what's 'good' or not.
