Well, I was able to obtain the type of denseness I was looking for with this recipe. After sitting out for awhile it tasted a bit dry; I was wondering if anyone wanted to take a look at that recipe and maybe give me some advice or point me in the direction of a cake of similar denseness that...

I love cornbread. In fact, I had just made red beans and rice, and that's what made me think that it had a cornbread-like texture.

philso, everything you said is exactly how I would describe it. It is certainly possible that the texture is supposed to be like this, but I was looking for something a lot....smoother? Thanks for all the replies After doing a little more searching on the internet (epicurious), I think what I...

Ah yes, I just read about the cornstarch in a cookbook my mom gave me. So in the case of this recipe, in an attempt at the cornstarch sub, I would just add 1/2 C of cornstarch to the existing amount of flour I used, or should I use less flour? Thanks! BTW I was going for like white wedding cake...

Made my first cake yesterday. I don't have a mixer, so I did everything by hand, which was slightly taxing. The flavor was fine, but the texture of the cake came out different than i was anticipating; it ended up like cornbread. I used all purpose flour instead of cake flour, because I couldn't...

I was just wondering if clarifying it made a difference in taste or texture, since I had never made hollandaise before. I didn't clarify it, and it tasted fine. Thanks for all the replies.

I was just wondering if anyone knows why you need to clarify the butter.

http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/recipes/recipe/0,,FOOD_9936_30359,00.html That's the recipe I used, and it appears to be from Commander's Palace, which is one of the most, if not the most, famous restaurants in New Orleans. Thanks for the link as well!

I just came across a massive amount of bread, and I was wondering what everyone does for making bread pudding. I already made one batch in a traditional new orleans style, but I hear that there are all kinds of bread pudding recipes out there, and I've got a ton of bread left. I'll probably use...

Saints winning in the reopening of the Dome. NOLA will never die, that was OUR superbowl.

muchos gracias! On another note, anyone have a preference of teriaki or soy [sauce] for use in a mariniade? I was going to go with soy.

My friend went deep sea fishing in the gulf last weekend, and he just brought me this enormous piece of tuna, probably 10 lbs. I was just wondering what everyone does with tuna, aside from the requisite soy/ginger/wasabi and sesame seed crust recipe.

Haha, yeah you really should try it. I used two potatoes and made no less than a PILE of them. I'm going pan fry the rest of them later tonight, and make either some pesto or some kind of sauce to throw on top of it. BTW, they are really filling.

Just pan fried like 5 of them to see what it tasted like. Really good, nice and crunchy, which is how I like them, although I'm sure once you do that, they technically become something other than gnocchi. Anyways, good thread, thanks for everyone's help/comments!

1st batch finished. I had to replace the water after a couple because 2 or 3 o f them did end up falling apart. You can really taste the basil and oregano in them, but the ricotta taste didn't come through nearly as strong as I was hoping for. Like I said though, I did not use very much...

Just finished rolling them, I ended up using ricotta, fresh basil, fresh rosemary, and fresh oregano. I made them into the snake, made a little indentation with a really small spoon I found in a drawer, then put the filling in. There is not a lot of filling in there, hopefully enough that I can...

Appreciate the quick responses and encouragement. I will most certainly let yall know how it works out.

When I went to SF this summer, we went and ate at some restaurant in north beach that did it. I googled it to see how they did this, you know since they're such small objects. Anyways, the literature I found said that you could do it two ways. One way was that when you make it into the...

About to try and make gnocchi for the first time. I was wondering if anyone had any tips or anything regarding said dish. I have heard/read different ways to prepare the potatoes, boiling vs baking. I went with baking. I've only had gnocchi a few times, and, at first, I was suprised by the...

Like the bratwurst and italian sausage ideas, since I personally love peppers and onions, and we do have plenty of beer (albeit crappy beer). Got to keep it cheap when you're working with such large numbers. Anyone got any ways to do up hot dogs? Like if you do the beer/onion/sausage bath, do...

haha I like the theme idea. Although I'm unsure as to how we might sear up some rajun cajuns (we're playing ULL).

Thanks for the replies. We are tailgating for the first football game of the semester. I think kabobs could be a good thing to try, since they are relatively easy to assemble and I could make a ton of them. Due to cost constraints (fraternity), I think we are just going with hot dogs and...

Going to be doing some tailgating tomorrow for the game, and I was just wondering what everyone else does when they tailgate. We usually cook burgers, but I don't feel like making 150 burgers for tomorrow, so I think I might do fried chicken. Any other suggestions would be greatly...
