Anyone who has visited the house, has seen my shameful addiction. I cannot resist recipe books and magazines. Granted, I learned a hell of a lot from my cooking encyclopedias and reference books, and I have a very old 1960s Vietnamese cookbook which has the best recipes I have ever cooked.
But, most of the books and magazine clippings just sit there. When I want to look something up, I find myself on the Internet checking out cooking advice and recipes. A recipe no longer seems complete without being able to read the reviews, advice and modifications left by others who have tried it out already.
I am finding far more useful and approachable recipes online than in a cookbook. A few weeks ago I was struggling to get sugar to properly caramelize for Vietnamese Caramelized Fish from a cookbook. I should have been here, seeing how to properly do it. (If you think that is good, try out the pork version.)
