Food on the Web

Cooking Links
There are many many cooking sites and blogs on the web. These are a few that I like. I put Rouxbe first because my students have had great success there. I recommend you try a few sites to find one whose recipes are at your skill level and work for you. Another way to get recipes is is to type “recipe chocolate cake” into your browser. The only problem with this is that you get so many recipes that it is hard to tell which are good. So, click on the name below and the link will appear. If a link is dead or you try out some recipes, successfully or not, let me know. Likewise, if you have a site that should be included.
Cooking Schools and Education
Rouxbe is an online cooking school. Much of it is behind the pay-wall, but they do have many free video recipes. These show only the hands doing the work, and you can watch things over until you understand. This allows the student to learn (and succeed at a higher level) They also have one free video lesson a week.
