    Is Flour the best thickener?

    For gravies, I use a little extra onion and some stick celery. Brown meat, sweat or brown onion/celery mix, cook. Then I remove meat and blend the onion/celery mix very well. You get a thicker sauce without use of any flour. This works for some soups as well. You may blend some of the cooked...

I spend between 6 and 8 hrs in the kitchen every weekend. We have a kitchen at the office, but the cook had a stroke and I just installed my first...

    Are We Really the Nicest, Friendliest, etc.?

It is done without much being said, but everybody seems to know that there is 'Law and Order' at DC. Result is one of the really friendly sites on the web, flame free, welcoming...

    Guests/Exclusivity

    One other thing adds to the number of guests. The moment a registered user logs out (or logs in after booting the site), he turns into a guest. I think until at least the time you close your window on your puter.

    What cheese do you cook with?

    Obviously, parmigiano as mentioned often, but there is hardly a mention of Gruyere here. For ccoking that is. But I love all cheeses, except some of the more pungant goat types.

    Omelette fillings

    Ishbel. Yes, for those delicately flavored omelettes. But I am deeply indebted to our on the other side of the big water soulmates for Mexican style chorizo (I made some slight changes to the original recipe). Spinach/cheese/chorizo in equal parts per weight, eggs, cream and spices (nutmeg is a...

    New restaurant idea or concept?

    What ironchef posted. I would also suggest you check on the internet for "business plans". Big or small, it is a good idea to have a biz plan, even a simple one. Weave in the relevant points as mentioned by ironchef. German Buletten (basic recipe) 12 oz of ground beef and pork each (or 24 oz...

    Food you wouldn't put in your mouth.

    I simply love "yuk" threads on food forums. Whenever the ugly question of "what to cook for dinner tonight" raises it's ugly head, here we come. Well, not exactly, but depending on your geo-location, people like stuff that others elsewhere abhor. Where I live nowadays, tenderloin is amongst the...

    Hi, I am new here. kuli-kuli is peanut cake (residue after oil extraction), salt, sugar and pepper mix, used like bread-crumbs in West Africa. There are no frozen TV dinners available where I live, nor a lot of other things most of you may be accustomed to. So it's do it yourself. But I love to...
