butter

Butter is a dairy product made from the fat and protein components of churned cream
Butter is a dairy product made from the fat and protein components of churned cream. It is a semi-solid emulsion at room temperature, consisting of approximately 80% butterfat. It is used at room temperature as a spread, melted as a condiment, and used as an ingredient in baking, sauce making, pan frying, and other cooking procedures. It is made by churning milk or cream to separate the fat globules from the buttermilk. Most frequently made from cow's milk, butter can also be manufactured from the milk of other mammals, including sheep, goats, buffalo, and yaks.

    Recipe The Lady’s Relish

    If you want to call this recipe 'spiced anchovy and mushroom butter’ feel free. But as its a riff on a traditional English savoury paste, The Gentleman’s Relish, I thought that The Lady’s Relish would be a convenient shorthand. The recipe for Gentleman's Relish is still top secret but its known...

    Peanut Butter - how do you like it?

    I haven't ever been a great fan of peanut butter. Apart from the fact its calorie laden (which always rings a few alarm bells with me) I never quite got on with that 'dryish' sense on the palate. Well, that is what it does with me. I have tried peanut butter with jam (jelly in US?) and I quite...
