I made the pot pies, and they turned out great. Just one thing I didn't consider: Quorn doesnt shrink when cooked, so you have to use less Quorn than the recipe's measurements for meat. Ill definitely make it again, but with probably half the amount.

Welcome!

Ive been learning lots lately from a chef's textbook I recently got called "On Cooking". Im fascinated by the official terms. If anyone knows, Im curious: How do you use the term "Mise en place" correctly? Would you say "I did the mise en place already" ? Is the pronunciation like: Meez en...

I only set the oven for 200F for the purpose of keeping plates hot.

Ive read about that in a chef's textbook. I think Ill try it.

Thanks for the info. Im really a meat eater, but got so burned out on chicken (its all my ex would eat) that I actually prefer Quorn to chicken now.

Wow- for $265 my mom can keep telling him when the old kettle is whistling. :(

I want to give my dad a new tea kettle. He has lost his high-pitch hearing and my mom has to tell him when his kettle is whistling. Have you heard of a low-pitch whistling kettle? If you've heard it, about how low is the sound? Ive only found "Chantal Enamel-on-Steel 1.8-Quart Loop Teakettle...

For those who havent heard of it, Quorn is a vegetarian meat substitute. I have some Quorn cutlets (their version of fake chicken breasts) Im looking at some chicken recipes to use them in and a really want to know from anyone who has used the stuff: Is there any cooking process or technique...

Well, I call it bad since it is smoke from pine instead of hickory.

My favorite knife is my Henckels Santoku. I think Henckels offers an excellent combination of quality and price.

There's also Asofotida. Its strong, you only use 1/8 tsp in a recipe that serves about 6+ portions.

Im not too fond of it. Its like a hot cup of bad liquid smoke.

If the govt would end price controls on sugar, the HFCS folks would not be able to match the price. We'd have sugar in our sodas and the price of corn (as food) would lower.

I always cook boca burgers in a skillet with a little olive oil and a bunch of fresh ground black pepper.

I looked up some Tangerine Chicken recipes and that looks just right. Thanks for the insight.

I tried looking for Gen. T's recipes but the sauce never seemed right. Definitely not a sweet, citrus type sauce.

I lost the cookbook, but this is what I can remember: Use cubed chicken, covered in cornstarch then fried. Sauce is a sweet, orange or duck sauce spiced with finely chopped chiles and with green onions. Of course I'm forgetting some other ingredients. Does this sound familiar? Help!

Don't freeze cheese. I read that in my America's Test Kitchen cookbook. Also- beware of cheese sold pre-shredded. Drying chemicals are added to keep the shreds from sticking to each other, so you end up with unnaturally dry cheese.

The Better Business Bureau online is a great resource for this type of search. On their advanced search, you can even put in a web address.

I lost the cookbook with this recipe. Can someone help me recreate it with what I remember? Sauce: Equal parts yellow onion, Tomatoes (I would use 5 romas) Season with Cumin, Cardomom, Tumeric, Coriander Cubed meat from one leg of lamb. Two Cubed Potatoes. Saute the onions, then add meat then...

Grilled cheese sandwiches with sliced tomato. Cheeseburgers with a fried egg in them.

Quinoa goes great with both. I make a Quinoa Black Bean Salad all the time. See recipe here: Quinoa and Black Bean Salad Recipe at Epicurious.com

thanks everyone- and that mushroom idea sounds good!
