Hey all, So I made some Truffles today (first time ever) and it got me thinking. What exactly is the difference between truffle and ganache? (to be fair, i had to wing the recipe I found for lack of some ingredients). But I found that there was a similar texture and richness in my truffles...

Hey guys, I'm having a bit of a problem lately. I have a set of ChefSharp knives (proprietary brand from Happy Chef Uniforms) that I got as a wedding gift, and have been using exclusively and extensively for the last 2 years. The knives themselves are holding up great (hold an edge rather...

So I have recently acquired a meat grinder, and a recipe for italian sausage. Wanting to try both out, and not having quite the experience in grinding my own meat yet, I was wanting to know what cut (or cuts) of pork is the best to make sausage, what are the characteristics of each cut when...

Ok, so my newly acquired mother-in-law gave my wife and I 8 or 10 packages of Beef liver. Fortunately, it's home grown beef from a friend of her family. Unfortunately, I have never cooked with liver and don't know the taste, how to season it, what to use as a side (other than making liver and...

I am being given a set of knifes as a belated wedding gift. I am not totally sure which set I am getting, but I have found that the steel is either 7CR17MOV Stainless Steel or 3CR13 420J2. I tried to search a little about what these are, but thought I would have more luck coming here. Could...

In the restaurant I work, we have one specific manager who isn't as knowledgeable about the kitchen itself, but does what they can to keep all costs as low as possible. The manager in question bought an extremely cheap farberware knife to slice our seared tuna for salads. The knife is...
