A friend recently told me about Devour.tv—a website comprised mostly of video and all about food. The webisodes range from travel entries about dishes you must try before you die to the fundamentals of cooking such as how to blanch vegetables, sear a steak to perfection, and make mayonnaise. These basics are especially good if you need to reference something in a pinch. The video format is great for really internalizing the information and putting it to immediate use.
Check out the wine snob clips as well as the Wylie Dufresne segments on the bickering foodies for a real laugh.
Approach the site with a sense of adventure. It’s a bit like getting a free meal at an avant-garde restaurant—you never know what is going to be your new favorite dish until you try it!
