Online Cooking Classes

eGullet is posting online cooking courses -- the "classes" have several page-long descriptions of various topics, with photos to illustrate each step and a discussion forum that allows you to ask the teacher any questions you might have. Classes range from knife skills, to regional Indian cooking, to cocktails. Recipes are included.

In other web-related cooking tips, simplyrecipes.com has a "Tips and Tricks" section with detailed descriptions (also with pics) on such topics as poaching eggs and preparing artichokes.
