Helpful Links

Some things I have found useful for new cooks is  knowing the products, knowing the terms used, and being able to easily follow a recipe.  I have found three great links that cover these three categories.

Finding the best cookware and cooking utensils can be hard.  There are thousands of products available today and deciding which ones are best for you and your kitchen can be hard to figure out.  CHOW is a great blog that reviews products so you can be more informed.

            The cooking vocabulary is huge.  There are a lot of different names for things that mean the same think.  Food Subs is a thesaurus of cooking terms.  This helps cooks learn different names of foods, cookware, and it even has pictures to help everyone learn the different names.

            Food Wishes is one page I love.  New cooks can be very intimidated when it comes to making things they have never made before.  If the recipe only shows the end result, or worse no picture at all, this could make the cook very worried about trying to meal.  Food Wishes goes one step father when it comes to helping teach people how to make meals; they have video recipes to follow!  This makes a cook feel very good about trying a new recipe because they have a step by step video to follow alone with.

            All three of these links take you to wonderful pages that you can use all the time.  Reviews of products, thesaurus of terms, and video instructions can be very helpful for new cooks.
