I found a beef jerkey marinade recipe a long time ago that I use to make all the time. Everyone went crazy over it and I now can not find it. It is possible that it came from this site. Here are the ingredients as I remember them, I think. I might have doubled the recipe here. Any help...

Hi all, It's been a VERY long time since I've been on here. Unfortunately, I lost my passion for cooking as I have since had a child and funds are very tight. Cooking has become a chore for me. I don't get home until 6:30 every night and then have to get a healthy cheap dinner on the table...

Are there any catering companies or restaurants in NYC that will come to your office to do free tastings?

Although I live in NYC and am familiar with a lot of the restaurants I am not familiar with places where it's easy to go or reserve for a group of about 9-12. I'm asking our friends if they want to meet up for dinner for my birthday. I am working in SOHO so anywhere around 14th street down is...

Can I cook a bottom round roast rare? I've done it with a top round, but from some of the recipes I'm reading it's suggested to cook it low and slow, more like a pot roast style. My plan was to tie on some bacon set the roast onto some sliced onions, cook at high temp to sear the outside, turn...

I recently went to Margon, a Cuban restaurant, in Midtown Manhattan and had their chicken with yellow rice, black beans and plantains. It was basically a cut up chicken that had been simmered until falling apart in spices. They just call it a roast chicken, but I don't think it's like how we...

This probably includes more than beef but wasn't sure where to put it. I'm heading out of town for a few weeks and am wanting to have a marinated piece of meat ready to go in the frige where it can just thaw and be cooked. I would love some recipes like one I found on fresh direct that was a...

So I was going to try making creme fraiche by just warming some heavy creme and adding the buttermilk, however the instructions say to use pasturized heavy creme, not ultra-pasturized. I accidentaly bought the ultra so I'm wondering if there is a big difference and if I can still use it. Is...

Anyone have a suggestion for a good but reasonably priced restaurant on the upper east side in the 50's,60's,or 70's?

For health and price reasons I like to take my own lunch into work. I'm tired of fixing sandwiches all the time. I am looking for quick and easy soup ideas that I can prepare the night before and take into work with me the next day. My ideas were a type soup using pre-cooked shrimp or chicken...

This will be the first year I'm actually cooking my own turkey. There is only 2 of us and I don't want to go to all the trouble of making a complicated gravy, does anybody have any suggestions on how to make a decent gravy that is quick and easy, can I just add flour to the drippings and then...

I really enjoy some of the noodle soup that I can get at a resaurant here in London called Wagamama's which has now become a chain. I was wanting to make some myself, but there are so many recipes out there it's hard to know where to begin. I thought I would see if anyone on here had some TNT...

Tonight is going to be pasta with a tuna and cilantro cream sauce topped with cherry tomatoes. Oh, and salad.

We're going to be spending 2 nights in Istanbul, 2 nights in Santarini, and 1 night in Greece at the end of the month. Has anyone had any good dining experiences here? We're on a budget so it can't be too expensive, and prefererably not a tourist spot.

Comfort food tonight. Beef tips with gravy over noodles and a mixed salad with cous cous, feta and tomato dressing.

Does anyone have a recipe or ideas for no bake granola bars? My friend wants to add protein to it and asked me to help him out. The heat would effect the protein so either part of it needs to be cooked before adding the protien or not at all. My first thought was a rice krispy bar type style...
