Using Google Base for Google cooking

I haven't really played around much with Google Base yet, but after hearing about that it's got a recipe search, I checked it out. The Google Base recipe search seems pretty cool. I haven't tried a full-on compare to regular Google cooking yet, so I don't know which is better. But the Base search is certainly more targeted. For example on Google Base I can enter "scallops" and get back all recipes, whereas Google cooking (entering "scallops" on the main Google page) yields lots of info about scallops, not just recipes. Anyway, good to know and perhaps I'll try using it more often. [via Lifehacker]

Comparing Frozen Fish to Fresh

My mother swears by frozen fish. I was unconvinced, and decided to put her statements to the test: could flash-frozen fish taste as good as fresh local fish from the Greenmarket or even fresh fish from a local supermarket?
