Cooks Illustrated is
an awesome magazine
for all serious cooks
as well as for people
who enjoy learning
what makes a good
recipe great. You can
also get an online
subscription and
download hundreds of
thoroughly tested
recipes. By far my
favorite cooking
magazine.
Whole Foods is the
ultimate food lovers
museum. Even though
the prices can seem
high, you can never
find a store that
beats their quality.
Their web site is also
terrific.
If you do not have
access to a store such
as Whole Foods or
another gourmet market
that does a booming
business, you might
want to use mail order
to purchase your herbs
and spices. Penzeys is
a great resource.
Their free catalog is
also a wealth of
knowledge.
All chefs know that
the secret to great
soups, sauces, and
gravies is quality
stock. But who has
time to make homemade
stock? Thanks to
Minor's Soup Bases,
you do not have to
worry. Minor's Bases
used to be only
available to
professional chef's
and restaurants, but
now the home cook can
order. I use their
chicken and beef bases
almost everyday. The
specialty bases are
also wonderful. I
highly recommend these
qualtiy bases.
