    Defining factors of how long desserts last

    Beef jerky problem

    Hey Super thin beef?? Sweet! Gotta think fast cooking, flash frying, deep frying etc... Works for asian wok cooking, beef salads, in wraps/rolls/sandwiches/kebabs.

    Onion Soup

    Hey Beautiful recipe! I really love the idea of honey and goats cheese with the onions. Lovely combination. The weather's cooling down rapidly here in Australia and a lovely onion soup seems just the thing to warm me and the good wife up. Great recipe.

    Why's pork your favourite?

    Just straight bacon! What meal/sandwich/burger/ANYTHING isn't made better with bacon?! Pulled pork roll, bread toasted in pork fat, with bacon, salsa negro and dill pickles. Done! New question then, best pork on pork dishes??

    Vegetarian alternative to fish sauce

    Hey Thanks Chief! I didn't explain that too well, as in all Asian food, SE Asian is all about balance. The stink factor is important, coming from dried shrimp, shrimp paste, fish sauce, stocks etc but that's balanced out by the floral fragrant flavours like lemongrass and kaffir lime. One...
