Cooking for engineers

Raymond Chen

All geeks who enjoy cooking (and who have cable television) worship Alton Brown’s program Good Eats. It’s the cooking show for engineers.

And recently I discovered a cooking blog that is designed for engineers, named, not surprisingly, Cooking for Engineers. Marvel at the elegance and beauty of the recipe diagrams. I have no idea whether the dishes are any good, but the recipes themselves are works of art.

(And don’t miss the analysis of orange juice shelf life.)

Side remark: I found it somewhat odd that many Slashdotters responded to my spam graph of a few days ago with remarks like “This guy needs to get a hobby.” I guess they don’t consider cooking, knitting, or studying German, Swedish, or Mandarin to be valid hobbies.
