the REFERENCE LIBRARY
COOKBOOKS FOR THE SHELF
WEB SITES
At some point you won’t need recipes to make something delicious. You’ll be comfortable enough to improvise and experiment. But even when you get to that point, you’ll find cookbooks to be very helpful reference guides. These two cookbooks are indispensable. Between the two of them, you should be able to find any recipe that you’ll need; from hummus to rice to pot roast and chocolate chip cookies.
The Internet is crammed full of web sites devoted to cooking and food. These days one could almost get away with not owning any cook books....almost.
This website stockpiles all the recipes from Gourmet and Bon Appetit. So now you don’t need to keep all those old issues lying around.
A great site that also now includes an online food magazine, CHOW. This site is also great for getting restaurant recommendations all over North America.
You can create a list of the ingredients you have and the site will spit out a list of the drinks you can make. It also has multiple search options (by name, ingredient, and even type of glass) that can help when you’re stumped for cocktail ideas.
Another good one. Search by name or ingredient.
