The Flavor Matrix is a fantastic book!

Thank you! I love the idea of chicken broth cubes. Perhaps I could play with the recipe to lower the amount of soap. Thanks for the video and info!

Hi! Do you have a recipe for making bacon-flavored bubble solution for dogs? I saw some dogs having great fun chasing and biting bacon-flavored bubbles on the show "It's Me or the Dog." Thanks for your help!

Microplane - getting zest from citrus fruits and removing any burnt areas from baked cookie bottoms or toast. Mini food processor - deviled egg filling, guacamole, mayonnaise, vinaigrette, herb butters, pesto, dip, olive tapenade, mincing shallots, chopping chocolate, more.

OP - cakes look fantastic in your pics! Congratulations! Although late to this party, I would like suggest a cake board (like a charcuteries board). I would offer carrot cake, chocolate, and flourless almond cupcakes. Plus I would offer toppings of nuts, berries, icings of flavoured...

Great idea! My friend in a city north of participates in a group named "Soup and Salon." This is a discussion group (like a book group) which meets in different gals' homes. Each salon has 3 soup makers and one bread provider. The discussion topic is issued inside the invitation. For a...

I love soups and stews in cold weather. But the best recipes involve roasting the vegetables / meat. This Soup Maker seems to just boil them. In summer I like to make compound herb butters from fresh herbs. I freeze the butters in ice cube trays. In winter, I'll add a cube to a pot of soup...

It sounds like knife sharpening at a Farmer's Market could be a great side hustle for someone. I'd go if our Farmer's Market had one.

If you want fabulous apple ice cream, I would use an electric ice cream maker and forget the no-churn method. Borrow a machine if you don't have one. I would add applesauce and spices to a vanilla ice cream recipe. A few minutes before the ice cream is just right, I would add 1 or 2...

You might try two things: Lessen the amount of oil you use in the batter. The oil you used might be rancid. Oil goes bad. Keep oil in the frig and buy in small amounts if you don't usually go through oil quickly.

I just saw a recipe calling for pear vodka. New to me but sounds good. I haven't tried it yet but here's the recipe: Chicken with pears, pear vodka, lemon, cream 2 lg pears, peeled, cored, sliced 2 Tbsp oil Salt & Pepper 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast (1.25 lbs total) 1/8 c flour 2 Tbsp...

Great idea and execution, OP!

This is a great thread. Thank you, OP! I have been storing my vitamins and medications in drawer in an end table near where I drink morning tea. Lids are labeled with a sharpie. Thanks to this thread, I know I can organize a spice drawer well away from heat the same way. I'll be moving soon...
