Food Timeline: food history & historic recipes Get Cooking with Free Online Learning Resources Reading an unfamiliar recipe can be frustrating: What steps, exactly, do you take to butterfly a chicken? How small is a fine dice? When the recipe says, “cook until browned,” just how brown should it be? Cooking lessons can give you clarity on all those questions, and impart skills to improve your kitchen abilities. But they often come with a price. Unless you go online, that is. If you want a cheaper in-person lesson, keep an eye out for half-priced offers from local cooking schools on sites like Groupon, Living Social and Tippr.

Bacon + Chocolate = World Peace? December 29, 2009 at 1:47 pm When I was in 5th grade, my class went on an overnight trip to a pioneer farm. We took a tour of the farm, learned about the equipment and tools, and slept that evening in a real pioneer cabin. The next morning after breakfast, we were given our authentic pioneer chores. Mine was cleaning up after the farm’s pig, Susan Bacon Anthony. I was not amused. While some of my friends pressed apples into cider, and other classmates tried out the tools at the blacksmith house, I trudged through the mud towards the barn. By the time my parents arrived to pick me up, I had an announcement to make – I was becoming a vegetarian so that I never had to eat a Susan Bacon Anthony, or any of her friends, ever again. My parents seemed complacent enough throughout the drive home. As a child I was passionate about bacon. As the pan sizzled and the house filled with the smell of bacon, I ended up going outside. I’m not fooling anybody. My friend M- is very conservative about food.
