My expectation is that I will post here about 4-5 times per week and there 2-3 times per week. This is, of course, subject to change.

Lifehacker is one of my favorite blogs - and was, in fact, one of the inspirations behind this blog. Occasionally, they have cooking-related articles. I've linked to a couple of them in the past. This week, however, is food week at Lifehacker. Check it out.

Amazon has opened up the Kindle to blogs, so now you can subscribe to kitchenhacker.neton your Kindle. This, of course, assumes you have a Kindle, which many people don't.

As I've mentioned before, I don't really read cookbooks for the recipes. Instead, I read them for the tips, techniques, and thought processes that they contain. By this standard Eric Gower's The Breakaway Cook is a great cookbook. This isn't to say that the recipes in it aren't worthwhile, but the real gems here are in the first fifty or so pages of information on ingredients and techniques.
