Best Online Resources for Cooking

Whether you are fresh out of high school or have been working in the food industry for a number of years, it is essential to have a grasp of basic cooking skills and an understanding of popular food techniques and trends before enrolling in a cooking school in St. Louis. Other than personal experience, one of the best resources to turn to is the Internet. Not only will you find recipes and how-toâ€™s, youâ€™ll find a whole universe of cooking and food related content.

Take a look at some of our top picks for online cooking resources.

FoodNetwork.com

The 800 lb. gorilla of television cooking is also one of the stars of the Internet. The site is full of recipes dating back to its earliest network shows.

Wikipedia

The largest user-generated content site on the Web is also one of the best food information. There are entries for a huge number of foods and cuisines complete with histories, cultural significance, regional variations, ethic influences and just about anything else a good food anthropologist could throw your way. Most entries also link to recipe sites that will have cooking what youâ€™ve learned.
