AFTER the Internet, another good source of on-line food and cooking information is CompuServe, the well-known commercial on-line service.
In particular, the Cook's On-line Forum on CompuServe brings together an extensive file library of information and recipes.
Among the many categories addressed in the forum are holiday fare, herbs and spices, ethnic recipes, microwave cooking, nutrition, culinary education and tools and books.
In addition, the forum provides public bulletin boards for discussion of the subject areas addressed by the Forum's file libraries.
Both the message sections and the file libraries can be searched by keyword.
The forum is open to all CompuServe members without any additional surcharge. It can be reached by typing GO COOKS at the CompuServe prompt.
