Learning to Cook, pointers from the blogosphere

Elise, the blogger behind Simply Recipes, began her blog to document all the things she learned from her parents about how to cook. Since the food blogosphere has grown so much in the past several years, it is no longer necessary to have had culinarily inclined parents to grasp the basics of cooking, because bloggers can fill in the gaps. Elise started a series called Learning to Cook, where she tries to ferret out all the "how to's" and "why's" of cooking from blogs around the world. So far, I would say that she is doing an excellent job. Part 1 has guides of mashed potatoes and ricotta cheese, among other things, while part 2 covers quiche and sushi rice. Part 3 has links to posts about prepping leafy greens and beating egg whites. There will undoubtedly be more to follow, but this is a great start. Thanks, Elise!
