The Accidental Scientist: Cooking

http://www.exploratorium.edu/cooking/

"Welcome to The Accidental Scientist: Cooking, the first in a
series of Web-based projects focusing on the science behind
everyday life. Here you'll find recipes, activities, and Webcasts
that will enhance your
understanding of the science behind food and cooking -- and may
even make you a better cook!" - from the website

Some of the topics discussed include why eggs are so versatile, a
microscopic tour of bread, the science of sugar, the world of
seasonings and experiments in the pickle lab. A useful, moderated
forum is available
to post questions, in addition to the weekly "Ask the Inquisitive
Cooks" feature and archive of a fascinating range of questions
and responses -- from 'why does my chocolate seize up?' to 'are
green potatoes poisonous?'
