  Your cooking for geeks bit was awesome! If you’re not a “by-the-recipe” cook and enjoy learning the science behind food be sure to check out the Food Network show ‘Good Eats’.

  If finding the “best of” recipe is more your style, anything Cook’s Illustrated will point you in the right direction, too. Their cookbooks at Costco are worth every penny.

  Thanks Phil! I don’t have Food Network, but I always see great food posts with links to segments on the show. In particular I love the terracotta smoker and the “how to cook breakfast” episodes.

  Agreed, anything Cooks Illustrated is pure gold. I record and watch every episode of America’s Test Kitchen on PBS religiously!
