Electronic resources
A private, non-commercial website by a scientist-foodie. Some interesting explanations about ‘molecular gastronomy’ and the physical properties of food (gels and hydrocolloids in particular), and a recipe collection (downloadable pdf file) of unconventional foods – many of which are quite suitable for the various maxfac eating troubles. Worth a look, if only for inspiration.
The BBC maintains a vast (and free) collection of recipes, all well edited but not all particularly ‘inspired’, and some are really not that good. But there are gems in the collection, and there are some very clear ‘how to do such-and-such’ cooking videos on the website.
https://www.greatbritishchefs.com/
This is a commercial site, though free to use and with only modest amounts of foodie-targeted advertising. The website features some very good recipes, again some are slightly unconventional, and there are very well made, slick videos about some cooking techniques. The search engine on the website for ingredients and recipes is useful to navigate the site. A more recent addition is a sister website ‘Great Italian Chefs’.
