Home cookin' on the web

It's easy to find fancy-pants cooking sites on the web, but what would you do with a couscousier anyway? (I couldn't pick one out of a lineup.) There are loads of practical cooking sites out there. Here are a few of the best:

The Internet Food Channel spotlights daily recipes like Moroccan "Passport" chicken, which stretch your cooking vocabulary but don't break it. Discuss daily food news or diss the snobby sites further in IFC's chat rooms.

Post and request recipes on the bulletin boards at The Internet Chef. Someone's looking for ferret recipes if you have any, or maybe you'd like to join the feisty debate that the request stirred up. The tips here are more useful than most, with special "Food Repair" secrets for when things go terribly, terribly wrong.

For good, old-fashioned recipes -- from homemade mayonnaise to something called a St. Patrick's Day Quickie -- visit Aunt Emma's Recipe World.

At Edibilia, I recomend cruising the 81 cookie recipes -- from Fig Bars to Fasnachtskiechli. While you're there, find out the truth behind that Nieman Marcus $250 Cookie Recipe story that's been circulating via email for years.

Out of Angosturra bitters? Try using Worcestershire sauce. The Cook's Thesaurus suggests substitutions for thousands of ingredients -- just in case you don't keep thousands of ingredients on hand at home.

And please, please don't surf these sites while you're actually cooking. I'm still trying to get the anchovy paste out of my keyboard!
