Consumers Howto #44: How to Make

All the sites were easy to search for what projects/information you were looking for as they were all categorized. The How Stuff Works videos were well done with a fantasic looking recipe for Chicken Zucchini Linquine. Really want to follow that one at home. On the otherhand, i viewed an Irish soda bread recipe with pictures of two little girls about 2 and 4 (although adorable) not giving much in the way of instruction and the text was very limited. Wiki.how had extensive written directions, but no pictures. I looked up making beads from flour and water and no end result to view. At Expert Village I viewed snowflake making and it took opening 5 videos to get instructions on a simple project.

That chicken zucchini linguine looks great and I intend to make it. The chef shows details on slicing the boneless chicken breasts lengthwise and provides reason for doing it that it provides more even cooking. She shows how to smash the garlic and noting it should not be put in pan wihen first cooking chicken as it will toughen. She shows how to cut the zucchini into little strips. Nothing is left for the person following the recipe to have to figure out on their own. All the blanks are filled in. Will give a review on this recipe once I have prepared it.
