cookbooks & cooking websites....

a wish list!

• www.corduroyorange.com for cutting techniques and other detailed explanations of technical cooking terms by showing you how.
• http://www.cookingforengineers.com is a site with step by step photos and instructions.
• There is also a helpful conversion chart on the Waitrose website: http://www.waitrose.com/food_drink/recipes/conversioncharts/index.asp
• Alton Brown's cookbooks like "I'm just here for the food" & Alton Brown's TV show Good Eats (or his recipes on foodtv.com) -- you may also want to check out his book "Gear for your kitchen" which is a good place to start when you don't know what kinds of kitchenware you may need.
• for beginners, A Man, A Can, A Plan, and Peg Bracken's I Hate to Cook Book.
• Jacques Pepin has a nice little website with very simple recipes and even videos showing you how to make them! Check here: http://www.kqed.org/w/jpfastfood/recipes.html
• Good Eats is definitely the way to go. I am currently uploading all the episodes to YouTube
• "On Food and Cooking," by Harold McGee, explains the chemistry behind cooking processes.
• Sam the Cooking Guy's "Grilled Rosemary Chicken Sandwich" ( http://www.thecookingguy.com/cookbook/recipe.php?id=130 )
