    Ginger Dressing wanted - the real deal!

    Thanks, and a Ginger Dressing Recipe in Return Thank you! That's perfect, and exactly what I was looking for!! In return, let me post the one I have, it has some different ingredients and there seems to be more onion in this one too. I found some tweaking got me a perfect result, but it was...

    Shawarma - finding the perfect recipe

    I imagine there are a lot of recipes out there- I'd appreciate an ethnic one that the person has tried themselves and really feels embodies the recipe, not just one posted by some gourmet magazine :) The food you eat off the street vendors may be cheaper, but sometimes that's the REAL deal and...

    Any tips for making bread crumbs?

    A food processor is ideal for bread crumbs - I've tried bashing it, smashing it in a zip lock bag with my meat mallet, a blender, and then (when I finally had one) my moderately large food processor... the food processor is the ideal choice, especially if you want it fine and it is already...

    Nerd or Geek?

    I talk a lot about it because it's a subject I enjoy, and I'm a talker- anything I love, I like to discuss and share. However, I also 'walk it' and cook a lot. Since I started doing it for a living more, I do it less at home, but what I talk about is connected to what I learned by doing...

    Ginger Dressing wanted - the real deal!

    Most of us have probably been to a Japanese restaurant in America, or even a non-Japanese one, and had good "ginger dressing". Whether or not it is authentic to what you might have in Japan, it is darn good! I have had it since I was a kid - a few restaurants butchered it, but most Japanese...

    Shawarma - finding the perfect recipe

    When you go to Taiwan and you find a new favourite food, the last thing you'd expect it to be would be Middle Eastern. Ironically enough, while I lived in Taipei, Taiwan for two months there was a Middle Eastern (Egyptian, I think) gentleman who ran a food stall near where I lived and sold...
