My friend and I were baking some cookies. I told him the recipe called for 2 sticks of butter, each being 113 grams, for a total of 226 grams. So he weighed out the butter while I was preparing the dry ingredients. It turns out he only put half of the needed butter in and I didn't even really...

I made this tonight, it turned out bomb. It's not strictly veg since it contains a small amount of worcestershire sauce, which could be omitted if desired. The star anise in the onions and the black vinegar in the jus really set it off. 4-5 yellow onions, 1/4" slices 2 tbsp. butter 2 whole...

I use fish sauce a lot. A big bottle will last me 3-5 months and I've always used 3 Crabs brand. I'd heard some good things about Red Boat 40°N being "first pressed virgin," only containing salt and anchovies, having a higher Nitrogen content, etc. but being over 3x the price of my usual for a...

Uuni Pizza Oven Uuni - The revolutionary wood-fired pizza oven Small, inexpensive, wood fired, and gets to 800 degrees F. I think I might end up pre-ordering one. I've been planning on building a wood fired pizza oven in the back yard for a while now but haven't gotten around to it because...

I've always had doubt about knowing how much of my instant-read thermometer actually reads the temperature of what I'm cooking. For example, if the probe is 5" long, how much of that length is actually affecting the reading? For instance, if I'm cooking a filet and want an absolutely perfect...

Here's this sauce I've been making forever. I'll post the basic one, and then the variations you can do with it. It's only got a few ingredients, all of which most people have sitting around so it's a good go-to side dish. Toss in some steamed or grilled veggies too, trust me it's good...

This is what I consider to be a perfect marinara, short of growing perfect hydroponic tomatoes and using them fresh. I hope you try it, I've made this many times and settled on this recipe. The important part is the tomato brand you choose and not overcooking it. A marinara should be a looser...

There seems to be a distinct lack of good breakfast taco recipes out there. The ones I do find don't really resemble what I grew up eating in the breakfast taco capital of America, instead more resembling a Mexican omelet shoved into a tortilla. Figured I'd put out some info on how it's done...

Hello! I'm new here if you couldn't tell already. I feel like over the past 10 or so years of my life I've tried my best to do well in the kitchen. I started out watching Food Network to learn some stuff but I soon lost my training wheels and started doing my own thing. My particular style...
