This isn't a good answer but I don't have a single spot. I usually think "huh, I'd like to make X" then try and find what I believe to be the most traditional/classic recipe that I can via search engine. From there I'll make it (possibly with a few modifications) and it usually takes a few tries at most to get something that's at least a 7/10. I'm also in the somewhat unique position of being a single dude that's looking tasty food in bulk with good macros which are goals that are sometimes at odds with each other - recipe sites usually don't target all three.

One thing you might try is signing up for a meal kit service using their introductory offers. You can go a month or two doing this while never paying full price via the discounts and it's a good way to try a bunch of different dishes. Save the recipe cards for the stuff you like then contrast them with other internet recipes or ask an LLM for ideas. Once you've done this enough you'll build up an informal database of things you like to make and a framework for how to do it without having to resort to step-by-step instructions.

They also offer mealplans for an entire week but iirc that is a paying service (pay once).
