Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
Even though books like The Online Epicure are often out of date before they go to the printer, this one is still worth having. If browsing through Amazon.com is all you can manage, Neil J. Salkind will broaden your culinary cyber-horizons by showing how to send e-mail, download a file using FTP, and more. Assuming the operation goes smoothly--which may be a rash assumption where computers are concerned--you will discover an overwhelming universe of food information and recipes under Salkind's guidance. He describes sites on the Internet, America Online, CompuServe, and the Microsoft Network, including Usenet groups and electronic magazines. Pictures give some sense of what sites are like, and an appendix lists all of the URLs mentioned in the book and more.
