Well, I only read 5 catergories on Gigapedia anyway, so I did not know that...but thanks.

To be honest, I like actual cookbooks in the kitchen, stained, charred pages and all.

Yeah, I didn't realize just how much was there until I started going categorically. It also took me a while to discover that there was an actual gigapedia search engine, rather than just the google one (which incidentally, works horrible)

Note: I've got the Biology category set up as an RSS feed on google reader. totally worth it

Bulky. Also, I find my cooking is very eclectic, so I use cook books more for ideas than as systematic recipe references. Plus, when I know how to make something I don't really need the recipe anymore

general meal plan: throw some good tasting stuff in a pot (or wok), simmer, eat

I like to watch people cook something, and then just wing it myself.  It gives me an idea for the process, ingredients, and thigns to watch out for in a more meaningful way than instructions on a paper.  This is how the infamous "White Boy Empenadas" were born.


Good find though, thanks!

I would really love to have a computer in my kitchen with a membrane keyboard, for quick-like looking up recipe ideas that aren't in my books. I always alter them anyway, but I like the idea of being able to go "What the hell could I do with a papaya?" and being able to search a bunch of recipes without leaving the kitchen.

My office is right off the kitchen, so I basically do that already, except with a lot of washing-hands and running back and forth.
