Amazingly useful websites for food

Here’s a couple of my favourite sites to assist your cooking that you may not have heard of.

Encyclopedia of Spices

If you’re like me and don’t really have much experience with herbs and spices, then you will love this online spice encyclopedia. From Ajowan to Zedoary you can discover how the plant looks and how to use it in your dishes. It’s extremely useful!

The Cooking Calculator

The internet allows us to find great international recipes but sometimes the measurements aren’t the same. I particularly have this problem with American cup measurements – I’m very much a weighing scales kind of person!

The cooking calculator allows you to convert loads of different ingredients from US cups (among many other measurements) to other more familiar measurements for you to understand. It’s the ultimate useful ingredients tool!
