RecipeTin Eats (Nagi Maehashi)
Rigorously re-tested home-cook versions of classics, with step photos and honest shortcuts.
Nagi Maehashi's site: classic dishes adapted for real weeknight kitchens, each recipe tested to destruction, with step photography and clearly flagged shortcuts vs. the traditional route. Strong on exactly this wiki's territory — her spaghetti bolognese and steak with creamy peppercorn sauce are representative. (No dedicated steak Diane recipe, despite the family resemblance to her peppercorn sauce.)
Reach for it when the authority version needs a practical reality check — what's skippable on a Tuesday.
Backs: spaghetti bolognese, beef stroganoff, shepherd's pie.
