Georgia Tech - Tech Students Learn to Cook
This site is designed to teach students some of the basics of cooking. The premise here is that "knowing how to cook" is not a matter of being able to follow recipes. Rather, it is understanding some of the principles behind choosing ingredients and using techniques that allow you to cook without a recipe.
