I was delighted by the new book by Molly Stevens called "All About Roasting". I thought I knew all about roasting until I picked up this book. I have been cooking roast dinners for more years than I care to remember so my expectations of learning anything new were very low. And I have to...

Isn't one of the rules of seasoned pans that you must never wash them? I think I read you are supposed to only wipe them out but no soap and water. In this day and age of hygiene paranoia I like to wash all my pans. Having said that cooking at high heat is also going to kill germs.

Have just found Discuss Cooking again via a Google search for something else. It is a few years since I have been here - doesn't time fly when you are busy. Basically I love cooking and have cooked all my life. I enjoy it so much that I started my own recipe and cooking web site back in 2000...

I think you had Gordon Ramsay who did the original one in the UK. I never watched that one but having seen Gordon Ramsay in other TV shows I would say Marco Pierre White would be my first choice. I have two of his book's to review with a third on the way. The autobiography was a great read and...

I made it last Saturday night for the romantic dinner for two my wife and I have every Saturday night. Kids dispatched to their rooms! It was restaurant class food and good quality restaurant food at that.

This recipe for Marco Pierre White's Fish Pie from H e l l's Kitchen is not his actual recipe but I was so impressed with the simplicity of how he made it that I decided to create my own. Watching Marco Pierre White conduct his master classes on H e l l's Kitchen one thing was very obvious . ...

Most of the recipes I have come across on the web use pig's liver. This is stronger tasting and may put a lot of people off. When I still lived at home the faggots were made by my father with his secret recipe. He died back in 1976 without passing it on but I am sure he got it from his mother...

I remember it like it was yesterday having gone through it in the UK back in the 60s. A very abused system which led to a lot of bullying of thirteen year olds by eighteen year olds. Very scary. It was a good thing it was outlawed.

Yes we have that use for the word in the UK although it is a bit dated now. Brings back memories of schoolboy jokes. I have to say, being more mature these days, I had forgotten the double meaning when I posted the thread. :angel: If you want to see whay Wikipedia has to say about the food...

I can still remember, when I was six or seven years old, travelling down to Ponterdawe in South Wales for the weekend to see my Grandmother. We would arrive just in time for lunch on a Saturday. She had a Bullmastiff dog called Gellert. The problem was she had always fed him titbits from the...

Having spent the last eighteen months helping people who organise cooking vacations or culinary tours to promote what they do I thought it was about time to check to see if I am heading in the right direction. (Even if you have never been on a cooking vacation or culinary tour I would be...

Can anyone answer this question I jave recieved: Are you supposed to do anything to the seaweed wrap before adding the ingredients on it? Reason I ask is because when I made it for the first time, the wraps were VERY stretchy & hard to eat.

What and where is "Sushi's Cafe and Brewery"?

From time to time I write reviews of cooking books published both in the UK and the States. Would it be an idea to have a section where these and those written by others can be published and commented upon?

Hopefully a moderator will move this question if it is in the wrong place. I am trying to find out about someone I have lost contact with. One of the biggest contributors to my site over the last five years has been a lady from San Fransisco called Shirley Cline - she even taught me to do...
