Welcome

I’m thinking that there are customers, @pictonguy , who are like me. We remember how nice fries tasted when they used tallow. We prefer a really nice cut of beef, cooked to perfection with some roasted vegetables in butter and some veggies. I actually have a preference to ignore the garbage...

Yay, hurrah for the melamine plates. I bought a set, just to be “authentic” 🤣 Chow Mein is one of those quaint things that western restaurants offer. Try asking for chow mein in Bangkok and expect at least a confused look at best, or a rolling eyed sigh. That looks like it would be a nice meal 🫠

^ that looks really nice. I love using chickpeas and cauliflower in subcontinental cooking.

I am thinking that not using EVOO in a deep fryer is more to do with the fact that it will cost you more than the value of your house.

I had a friend who made exquisite crocheted tree ornaments. She would make them very personalised and the intricate patterns and embellishments she used made them instant heirlooms. It was a childhood tradition for everyone in the neighbourhood to share little gifts at festive season. A very...

That is certainly a “jelly roll” but it is quite different to a western version. The ube is more like a hard custard than a soft cream or jelly. The texture is quite dry, they aren’t very sweet and for a western palate, they don’t really meet that confection profile. This is true of many...

When I first met MrJade, his cooking could be most kindly described as “pedestrian”. He was astonished at how I could season dishes so well and cook complex meals with ease. He had never known anyone who had worked in the industry before, and his family members all cooked for convenience and...

Hello. Does anyone else have a tradition of making gifts either in their kitchen, or hobby nook etc? Being that I returned to my childhood home a few years ago, I fondly remembered that the giving of Italian treats shaped the festive atmosphere of my younger years. So last year I made savoiardi...

The red snapper meal sounds nice 🫠

Katsu 🫠

Oh no, does that mean I have to throw away all my lard and beef tallow?

Welcome! You will have a great time getting to know us all and sharing our common interest - food! 🫠

Down here, soup bones weren’t even named that. The butcher would hand out a bag if you asked, but they were “dog bones”. The immigrant community couldn’t believe this! They would gladly take a free bag of dog bones but usually didn’t have a dog? Of course, they were putting them into their...

My favourite restaurants have a good handle on satisfying portions at acceptable prices. @pictonguy you are right, the price increases over the past few years has been concerning, making dining out more of a luxury. Even putting a nice meal using quality ingredients on the table is expensive...

These are appetisers ??? WOW! I really dislike restaurants where the business model is to serve stupidly large portions of generally low quality food at “reasonable” prices. The amount of food wasted is staggering, at a time when food poverty is at an all time high. In my city, we have venues...

Crispy Skin Salmon with Asian Greens and Black Rice, Lemon Cream Sauce 🫠

Beef and Mushroom Fettuccine 🫠

The catfish meal looks nice, but it needs some green and sauce?

Patd Thai I’m making a very big effort to teach MrJade how to cook. He’s enjoyed my meals for so many years, but now as I am facing my mortality, I’m hoping that one of my legacies will be his ability to make food. This is his effort, with me being all behind him, all the way. It was an...

Oh, that’s making sense. I normally edit the recipe because I just know it’s wrong. 3 cups of fish sauce, umm, no

Can I ask: For me, when I see a dish that I am interested to try, I normally just keep the page open while I make it, and if I am reasonably satisfied with it, I will then save it to my Recipe Keeper app. My question is - if you make a dish from your recipe app and then come up with something...

I tried it au naturel when it was the “thing”. BETTER THAN WATER!!! NECTAR OF THE GODS!!! BUY IT NOW!!!! Ummm…actually no. Tasted rank. I can deal with aquafaba when it’s used in a dish, but I won’t be selling my first born for a bottle so that I look en pointe at the exclusive health club.
