(Links updated Feb 2013)

Not sure what to do with those new foods you're trying on your low carb plan? You're not alone - when I started out, I didn't even know how to boil eggs! Don't worry, there is plenty of free, reliable information on the 'net. Here are some links for cooking techniques and recipes for many common foods.

Poultry:
Perdue - This is the most reliable website I've found for chicken info. Here's their chicken cooking guide and their turkey cooking guide.

Beef:
The Beef Information Centre - a cooking guide.

Pork:
Pork Cooking Guide

Eggs:
Basic Cooking Techniques - Proper cooking techniques and recipes.

Vegetables:
Vegetable Recipes

General:
The Cook's Thesaurus - Never heard of a courgette? A cristophene? This site has a searchable database of food ingredients, their alternative names, photographs, and substitution suggestions. There is also info on utensils.

Cooking Conversions - This site will help you convert common cooking units.

Food.com, formerly known as recipezaar. This is my most-used recipe link because you can filter your recipe search so many ways: by ingredient, ethnicity, cooking method, nutrition info, etc. I use it all the time.
