Kathy Maister from startcooking.com has finally launched her “beginners cookery” site and what a crispy buffet of a site it is too. The MCC has long been a fan of her simple excercises in increasing our culinary powers and now that her site is ready, you can get the recipes direct to your Ipod in video form. The site is nicely laid out with everything easy to hand and all dressed up in this new fangled Web 2.0 Ajax stuff. We love it, take a look.
