Internet cookbooks for the win!

Rather than buy a few cookbooks, or a guide to leather-work or knitting, I usually hit the 'Net. For some reason, though, I often have difficulty finding recipes for really basic things. All too often, All Recipes won't have a simple no-frills recipe or, more often, will have dozens and dozens of variations.

This is where sites like the Wikibooks Cookbook and Cooking for Engineers can come in handy. Concise, clearly written instructions based on personal experience (although wikibooks, like all things wiki, can be a mess of contradictory information) with all the constraints so implied — they are simple, realistic and provide few, if any, endless variations on a particular theme.
