Cookery
In January I will be doing an evening class in cookery for 8 weeks. The class' focus is on international cooking. Each week the group will prepare a meal from a different part of the world. With that in mind for those interested and for my own interest and enjoyment here are a list of links to some food and cookery sites on the web:
Zedtee.com - a site designed to raise the profile of English cuisine.
Helen's Internet Book of British Cooking - site contains hundreds of receipes, tips and articles about British cooking. A fine introduction to British cooking.
Fusion Cooking - culinary and cultural adventure and delight.
Diana's Gourmet Corner - a comprehensive collection of world cooking.

I like a wide variety of films, both Hollywood and European films. Some interesting links are listed below:
Filmunlimited - The Guardian's film website with reviews, interviews and articles on film.
Premiere Magazine - a french film magazine.
Other Interesting Sites
