    Clear up my sauces

    Thanks everyone for your replies, I've never tried Arrowroot. Is it tasteless? How would one use said ingredient?

    Clear up my sauces

    I have had great success with making a stock based sauce, then adding a tablespoon of cornflour in a little water at the end to thicken it up. I have no real complaints with this method, but... Cornflour is white, and when mixed in it makes my clear sauces, slightly murky, and creamy looking...

    Your fantasy pizza?

    Mix a little curry paste with water and use that as the base, add chicken and shaved onion. Simple and quite delicate.

    Curry

    Man you've come to the right place, My suggestion is to just buy curry pastes and powder. It's one of those things (like canned tomatoes) which just work ready made. Here are two simple curries I make with Curry Powder. I'm into Ayam powder atm, but Keens make a mean powder too. Chicken Curry...

    Diabetes

    Congratulations Corey :smile: You must get hungry during the day though? I've read Apples have chemicals in them that promote weight loss. Maybe we can munch on them between meals. Not before bed though, as those same chemicals make us stay awake. :wacko...

    Cheesecake problem (w/ pics)

    Yeah I agree, it looks fine. It looks to me like it should fall, and you should add goodies to the top of it. Try this, lay strawberry jam, then lay Whipped Cream with a dash of Vanila Extract, then spinkle with halved strawberries. Then go outrageous and melt some milk chocolate, and pour...

    Did I warp the pan?

    Thank God, someone has pointed out the debacle regarding non stick pans... Look if I where you I would buy her a $20 non stick pan and tell her, here, this is just as good anyway. I call Non Stick, Non Cook. It is ridiculous to expect someone to sear a nice steak on a pan that cant go above...

    Your fantasy pizza?

    My parents visited Italy once, she was amazed. A traditional pizza seems to be tomatoe base and cheese. :ohmy:

    Diabetes

    I don't confess to be an expert, but here's a little something I know. If your daughter looses her weight, her Diabetese may subside. There is a straign of Diabetes that is brought on by obese people. She is still young, if she acts now she may reverse the damage. I recommend a Low GI diet, you...

    Thai Style Sauce

    I had to look that term up :lol: What about if I add dried shitake mushrooms, but took them out before thickening? Or is that a no no :smile: I was avoiding soy and fish, not for any reason though, just thought it wouldn't add to the taste at the time. I thought of oyster sauce too. Would it...

    Thai Style Sauce

    Yeah I thought of that, Lime zezt is amazing and would give richness. But I would loose fluid, which I need as the cornflour thickens what fluid is there. Maybe I could add some as well as the juice, it wont get rid of the tartness, but would add a nice flavour. Thanks

    Thai Style Sauce

    Mince carrots? hmm that sounds interesting, what is your suggestion to mince them? Basil is my favorite herb, I just love it's aroma. What are the differences between Basil and Thai Basil? I just worry that I would need loads of it to remove the tartness. But in saying that, I don't mind the...

    Great idea, I just wonder if it would turn my clear sauce into a creamy sauce though?

    Thai Style Sauce

    Here's something I've been working on, pour it over a fried piece of fish, I like it with salmon. It's not exactly where I want it yet, seems a little to sour, but I don't want to add sugar. Would palm sugar help this dish? Any recomendations would be welcome. Please try it, it's quite a nice...

    Pigs Head Pudding

    I suppose it's no different to pea and ham soup where you bouil knuckles and bacon bones.

    Your fantasy pizza?

    You must have thinly sliced onions, and chili flakes on a pizza. Never put pineapple on a pizza though. :mad:

    Yorkshire Pudding

    For a twist, use self raising flour, and half fill the tray instead. It's a bit like the pan sized Pizza's or the thin crust pizzas. You will find that kids love the self raising flour variant, whereas I and many others prefer the flat style. We make big ones, we have a round casserol dish...

    Traditional Satay

    Is it safe to try this? Make the marinade. Either of the two above. Marinade the meats. Take out meat and add crushed peanuts to the remaining marinade. (Maybe some brown sugar) Grill Meat Cook Remaining marinade and use as a sauce? Cooking the marinade would just turn it into a sauce wouldn't...

    The perfect steak

    Speaking for the buttermilk, I have seen steak cooked plain with S&P but then cut into slices and soaked in a creamy white sauce, which worked quite well. It wasn't a rue though. If I was to guess what was in the cream sauce, Cream, Milk (Possibly ButterMilk), S&P, Parsley, and possibly some...
