Never again will you be at a loss for the right word - at least when it comes to cheese.
Barnyardy, mushroomy, supple, piquant - all these and more are defined in the extensive glossary on this site, which also has the last word on cheese moulds. This cheese site includes sections on its history, how to make it, recipes, what's in it, and main vendors in the US. The text of the Monty Python Cheese Shop sketch is available and a cheese literature section of collected poems, fictional works and ruminations welcomes contributions.
The home page is well laid out and links at the foot of each page take you back. Following the links generates detail ranging from microbial enzymes to dairy-free recipes. Ethical objections to the use of dairy products get a mention as well as veggie cheese, kosher cheese and how to read labels.
This sushi site is maintained by Mark Hutchenreuther, a retired software engineer based in California. He offers as much detail about himself, his home and hobbies as about sushi and sashimi (other raw seafood) but everything is presented with clarity and detail and annotated diagrams.
First of all you need a sharp knife, a bamboo mat and a spoon. Then you can explore variations such as thick-rolled, pressed, stuffed, sushi omelette, etc. Important terms, foodstuffs and a bibliography are included and if you'd like to catch up with him on a sushi lecture tour, dates and times are on the site.
A deluxe shopping mall for chocaholics. The main theme here is chocs and romance, with a heart covered background and a serialised love story. When it comes to choosing your Godiva chocs, you have page after page of choice - one for special moments, one for small indulgences, a classic collection, and then there's the gift boxes. The range of liqueurs is just as wide, and more than matched by the mouth-watering recipes for desserts to accompany them. If the temptation is too much, phone orders can be made between 8am and 10pm EST, seven days a week.
