Cooking Recipes
YES! I want to take this course!
This course is designed to teach popular regional and multicultural recipes, as well as tips, serving ideas, and a bit of etiquette and customs. 

The lessons are arranged by meal, so that one can easily translate the lessons to real life cooking situations.  If you are a vegetarian or on a restricted diet, this class may be difficult for you.  Most of the recipes have been adjusted to fit a somewhat western taste, but remain interesting and as true to their cultures as possible.

Department:
Culinary Arts
Instructor:
N. Lasher (a.k.a. Kthulah)
Instructor Email:
web-request@universalclass.com or web-request@universalclass.com
Goals:
To further the kitchen skills of good food enthusiasts, and add some variety and fun.
Requirements:
If you have never cooked before, or have some discomfort in the kitchen, you may want to take Cooking Basics, another great class on UniversalClass first.
Reading Materials:
All required reading assignments are available free on the internet, or can be found in the shared files.  They are provided as supplements.  All recipes published in the class, however, are either public domain or the inventions or deductions of the instructor, Nicole Lasher, or family members who have given permission for them to be published, and for financial compensation to be received through her.
Recommended Equipment:
  • A fully stocked kitchen.  What this means exactly will vary by region, but each lesson tells you what you'll need, and what can be substituted for what.
  • (optional) digital camera or conventional camera and scanner
  • (optional) image editing software that will allow you to resize photos to no more than 600x600 pixels
  • (optional) a newspaper or magazine with which one can date photos of their assignments.
  • (optional) a webcam and Yahoo Instant Messenger (YIM)
  • If you do not have a camera or a webcam, then I have no way of checking that you did a cooking assignment, so you will need to do written assignments.

Each lesson has an assignment and a quiz, as well as a topic in the forums.
