Terrible Swede:Cooking site for engineers
Who knew??? This site is awesome! I’ve never been one of those intuitive female chefs. The analytical approach will be helpful to me. Finally, cooking in plain English. Or plain German.
In reading through the site, I am even more intrigued:
About the name: Cooking For Engineers
Michael selected the name “Cooking For Engineers” on a whim. He has no idea if it means “To cook for the purposes of providing engineers with food” or “To instruct engineers in the science and art of cooking”. He likes the ambiguity, and other people seem to find the name intriguing and even interesting. He regrets that the name can be misread (when in a rush) to be “Cooking Foreigners”.About Michael Chu
Michael Chu lives in the heart of Silicon Valley near the San Francisco, California in the United States. He currently works as a hardware application engineer for a major semiconductor manufacturer. Michael holds a Bachelor of Science from the College of Engineering at University of California, Berkeley in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.
Besides cooking and dining, Michael enjoys photography, indoor rock climbing, and gaming (video, computer, and board - not gambling).Supporting Cooking For Engineers
Cooking For Engineers generates a significant amount of traffic and the large volume of photographs served requires lots of bandwidth (over 200 GB per month in September 2005). In addition to the server costs, a lot of food is “wasted” as recipes and experiments go awry. Most of the money used to support and grow the website are generated through private donations, Amazon.com, MetroKitchen, and Google AdSense.
Thanks, Terrible Swede!
