COOKBOOKS
There are only a zillion cookbooks out there written by everyone from movie stars, supermodels, and athletes to politicians. Some are actually OK, but some aren't worth wasting decent ingredients making the recipes
This is not an all-inclusive list, but here are a few of my favorite cookbooks:
Some very good cd-rom cooking programs are available. These are great because they can guide you through the steps with video and voice. My two favorite programs are:
Mastercook Delux 5.0--this program is a multimedia cookbook, a kitchen management program, and a recipe manager. I love it. __________
MicroCookbook 5.5--this program has over 12,000 recipes, all categorized for easy retrieval. __________
You can find many more cooking programs at Beyond.com.
These cookbooks are offered through Amazon.com
