The Cook's Thesaurus is a cooking encyclopedia that covers thousands of ingredients and kitchen tools. Entries include pictures, descriptions, synonyms, pronunciations, and suggested substitutions.

What are your favorite cooking and food reference sites? Previously posted to another thread but worth reviving is The Food Timeline. Also worth checking out are: Cook's Illustrated.com, Food Info Net, the "leading internet portal devoted exclusively to the food industry", Fast Food Facts, and everyone's favorite, epicurious.com. And what FPP would be complete without a Wikipedia link?

  • Wow, Koko, thanks! The ingredient substitution question is what I'm always needing answered (ie. instead of cooking sherry, substitute what?). Can't wait to delve in further!
