    Clear up my sauces

    Thanks everyone for your replies, I've never tried Arrowroot. Is it tasteless? How would one use said ingredient?

    Clear up my sauces

    I have had great success with making a stock based sauce, then adding a tablespoon of cornflour in a little water at the end to thicken it up. I have no real complaints with this method, but... Cornflour is white, and when mixed in it makes my clear sauces, slightly murky, and creamy looking...

    Your fantasy pizza?

    Mix a little curry paste with water and use that as the base, add chicken and shaved onion. Simple and quite delicate.

    Curry

    Man you've come to the right place, My suggestion is to just buy curry pastes and powder. It's one of those things (like canned tomatoes) which just work ready made. Here are two simple curries I make with Curry Powder. I'm into Ayam powder atm, but Keens make a mean powder too. Chicken Curry...

    Diabetes

    Congratulations Corey :smile: You must get hungry during the day though? I've read Apples have chemicals in them that promote weight loss. Maybe we can munch on them between meals. Not before bed though, as those same chemicals make us stay awake. :wacko...

    Cheesecake problem (w/ pics)

    Yeah I agree, it looks fine. It looks to me like it should fall, and you should add goodies to the top of it. Try this, lay strawberry jam, then lay Whipped Cream with a dash of Vanila Extract, then spinkle with halved strawberries. Then go outrageous and melt some milk chocolate, and pour...

    Did I warp the pan?

    Thank God, someone has pointed out the debacle regarding non stick pans... Look if I where you I would buy her a $20 non stick pan and tell her, here, this is just as good anyway. I call Non Stick, Non Cook. It is ridiculous to expect someone to sear a nice steak on a pan that cant go above...

    Your fantasy pizza?

    My parents visited Italy once, she was amazed. A traditional pizza seems to be tomatoe base and cheese. :ohmy:

    Diabetes

    I don't confess to be an expert, but here's a little something I know. If your daughter looses her weight, her Diabetese may subside. There is a straign of Diabetes that is brought on by obese people. She is still young, if she acts now she may reverse the damage. I recommend a Low GI diet, you...

    Thai Style Sauce

    I had to look that term up :lol: What about if I add dried shitake mushrooms, but took them out before thickening? Or is that a no no :smile: I was avoiding soy and fish, not for any reason though, just thought it wouldn't add to the taste at the time. I thought of oyster sauce too. Would it...

    Thai Style Sauce

    Yeah I thought of that, Lime zezt is amazing and would give richness. But I would loose fluid, which I need as the cornflour thickens what fluid is there. Maybe I could add some as well as the juice, it wont get rid of the tartness, but would add a nice flavour. Thanks
