Hot on the heels of Foodie Buddha’s post about Lifehacker’s Online Techie Cookbook, the extremely useful site offered up another cooking link – Top 10 How-to Cooking Videos.
As FB said, this site is great for all your nerd-news needs, and they do touch on cooking topics quite a bit. A geek has gotta eat too.
A few highlights:
Mario Batali’s video on pasta and sauce makes a great point. Just like with pizza, one of the biggest errors you can make is to have too much sauce. The sauce is my favorite part, but good pasta should be allowed to show its stuff. With pizza, the mistake is even more dire – you’re going to be left with soggy pizza.
While I disagree with a few points in Gordon Ramsay’s “Perfect Scrambled Egg” video, it’s well done and shows how much care can be given to the simple egg. View my post on scrambled eggs here.
The onion video is a must-watch if you end up in tears every time you chop an onion.
Finally, don’t miss Christopher Walken’s video on how he roasts a chicken with pears. It’s weirdly interesting.
