I've been making cakes and used only all-purpose flour. My question is, for many recipes, why do they call for whole-wheat and all-purpose, same quantities for both? I've made it with only all-purpose and they've been fine but is there something I'm missing? Does the combination of flours make...

Has anyone ever had dragon fruit? It's absolutely delicious as a juice store-bought. What would be a fruit or vegetable to compliment it? I'm thinking of something along the lines of appitizers with some other fruit maybe on a little stick or as a dessert as an exotic dessert. Any ideas? I don't...

My parents aren't thrilled about the taste of eggplant. I love it. They've eaten it as little eggplant pizzas. Eaten it by itself, they hate, so I want to combine it with something to lessen its taste. I'm making a nice dinner for them with a Chinese theme, so, ideally, a Chinese appitizer with...

While watching Iron Chef America, Iron Chef Flay cooked a very nice-looking plate. I thought I'd give it a try. The secret ingrediant was bacon. He made some sort of bacon with vegetables and put it on a clam and oyster. He then used a sea urchin, scooped out its flesh, believe it was called uni...

A member on here (unsure of name) gave me an idea to BBQ shrimp then make salsa from okra and papaya. My apologies for forgetting your name, however, my acknowledgements to you. I was a little unsure how to make the salsa, so I consulted an Asian cooking book, more specifically, meals from...

I've been making this dressing for lettuce for quite some time. My parents called it caesar dressing, although I'm pretty sure it's not. I've asked other cooks and none know of it. It tastes very good. Some of the quantities are estimated, so use whatever quantities you wish. In a bowl, mix...

Greetings, Today I saw a set of pots and pans made of titanium ceramic mix. They have metal handles but come with rubber attachments to grab. The package was about $480 and came with several pans and pots, with a bonus feature of several other pans. The demonstrater put one of the pans...

Greetings, As this seems to be the right place, I have a bag of 5 or so of fresh store-bought okras, frozen black tiger shrimp and 1 large papaya. Any ideas on them? I want to use them in the same day and thought about making some faux gumbo but am left with the papaya. I bought it 3 or so...

Greetings, While you cook at home or in a restaurant, what do you listen to, aside from the other cooks and waiters/waitresses? And what do you listen to at home while cooking? Also, what do you like to drink? Just to kick this thread off, I'll say what I like: For music, any song by...

Greetings, I made a side-meal a week or so ago (no it's not in the fridge still) and wondered if I made it again, could it be stored? It has fried egg in it which concerns me. I've always heard that storing pre-cooked egg is never a great idea. However, it is "Spanish tortilla" from a...

Hello everyone, As some may be wondering, why is my id as llvllagical_llkook. Simple, I do perform various magic tricks and illusions, and cook. cook is spelled as "kook" since one of my favourite bands is Korn (not spelt as corn). Now that all that is out of the way, I want to introduce...
