Links to Favorite Food & Cooking Suppliers

Green fractal cauliflower
The list below is my growing collection of food and cookery links. Most of these sites include excellent, often historic, recipes.

By the way, the item above is not some kind of weird science fair experiment. The Romanesco Cauliflower was first mentioned in Italy in the sixteenth century. When eaten raw it is said to be crunchier than cauliflower and not as bland. It can also be eaten cooked. Just don't stare at it too long.

For an excellent mathematical analysis of this fractal vegetable and more photos, all by AutoCAD's John Walker, click here.
