I use allrecipes.com all the time.  They have pretty much everything you 
could imagine in modern recipes (and even a few period ones, if you know how 
to search for them).  One of the features I like is the search function that 
allows you to put in ingredients that you DO want in the recipe, as well as 
ingredients that you DON'T want in the same search and find results that 
match your criteria that way.
