Does anyone know if there is a US law (individual state law?) that requires a restaurant to tell me what ingredients are in the food that they are serving me? My daughter had a tuna sald sub today from a popular (newer) sub chain. They claim it's made with a "zesty tuna sauce"....She got sick...

I know the recipe came from the old days from PALERMO (BAGHERIA) SICILY Does anyone know of any old school pizza recipes from that 1940-1950's era?

The recipe was ceated in 1949, and has been unchanged since then, so with that said would the 4 cheese blend have been around in 1949? Thats my theory in it. All the ingredients have to be old world. You mentioned oregano and basil, I assume take the THYME out of it?

nope, no fennel, I figured the basil replaced the fennel. My first guess was fennel as well. any other herbs good on pizza? I didn't see any rosemary, but what about sage?

forgot to add about the pies. when they cook the pies in a standard gas pizza oven at 640 degrees, the sauce and the grated cheese absorbs into the shredded cheese and when the pie is done it's greasy and the cheese is not very stringy. any ideas?

Looking for an old world authentic Sicili, Italy pizza recipe. Theres this place I visited that has been making this pie since the 1940's. They use thin crust, plain sauce, a grated cheese, a white cheese, then toppings and cook it at 640 degrees. The pie is very greasy. I asked what the...

I have 2 ingredients: 1-Pork Loin (boneless) 2-Cream of Mushroom soup I am trying to find the best herbs and/or spices combination to compliment these 2 ingredients to give maximum flavor to the dish. Any suggestions?

First Part: I have some recipes that say "cook on medium", or "cook on medium high", etc. etc. Second Part: Some of my cooking appliances only go by degrees on the tempature control. My question: What is the actual number degree for low, med low, med, med high, and high? example: What is the...

Does anyone know where I can get some cream meal? I've done a search on the web, but can't find it. I received a recipe for a fried fish breading and it uses cream meal instead of corn meal or corn flour. I guess it's supposed to be better quality than the corn stuff. I know it's used in...

I was at this greasy spoon diner thats been around since 1924. A real nice place actually. They boast they have the "best burgers around." So, I watched them make a burger. The patties are fresh and made by hand. They squirt this yellow tinted luquid on the griddle and fry the burger They...

Where can I find out on the internet what foods can be deep fat fried in the same commercial fryer but not at the same time and what cannot? I heard when using a commercial deep fat fryer that some types of fish CANNOT be fried in the same oil (at different times), as using the same oil will...
