As the intro to this quiz says: Can your cooking stand up to Bobby Flay’s, or does your cooking knowledge end with instant ramen and boiled eggs? Take this quiz now to find out! I got 11 out of 12 - since I had no idea what a Denver Omelette was. Not that surprising as I think that omelette...

Flour and Baking Soda certainly qualify as Cooking Powders, but this discussion goes after much more. Recently, I posted a recipe for Sea Pie, where I created a Cashew powder with Mortar an Pestle. That's a good example. More recently, I made the dumb mistake of buying a package of Coffee...

Now, I'm probably not normal as I'm an obsessive cook and I spend a lot of the day cooking. Or so it seems. But here is the question - when you are at home, how many hours per day do you spend making meals? This includes preparation and any checking, turning, stirring of food - but not the time...

Hi, we are a group of graduate students at Cornell. We are doing a market research on meal kit industry, and would like to perform a survey for feedback. Please help us finish our project. Thanks in advance! Here is the link to the survey...

This is not the recipe I was planning to use for this but I thought this might be a good one for a guessing game. I'll still post the other when I cook it, First clues

I don't remember seeing one at all. :wink:

In my case, I hate chopping onions. Its nothing to do with the fact they can make you cry. A good cry can be quite therapeutic. I just hate the fact I have to chop onions so often. So many recipes call for chopped onions! Boring... Anyway - as someone who loves to cook, what do you hate about...

Three ingredients to start.

For me, temperature isn't everything, but its a big part of doing things so as to achieve great results. I was rather amused to find that on the internet, temperature is more a concern for safety, than achieving good results. They seek to ensure that things are fully cooked to the extent that...

Following on from @morning glory 's thread on chips, I wondered how many different methods there are of cooking potatoes? Chips (fries), roast, boiled, baked (jacket), mashed, creamed, duchess, fondant (one that I discovered recently), fried mashed (as in bubble and squeak or rumbledethumps)...

I'm just wondering if anyone else received any presents either directly or indirectly related to the kitchen. For me I had a few items that could qualify, from some new measuring spoons (curiously Australian ones don't have a desertspoon but do have a half tablespoon size), some cookie cutters...

Do you have a list of recipes or techniques that you have never cooked before but plan to try? My list gets longer by the day! Here are a few of them: Waffles Strudel/filo pastry Kimchi Sous vide (anything sous vide!) Lobster Thermidore Rice paper wraps Food made using a smoking gun Various...

A couple of months ago, I sought your knowledge to hear about what you like / dislike from a cooking website. This has led me to the creation of a questionnaire so that I can quantify this information with the objective of understanding what the most important features are for a cooking website...

I want to thank the person who told us about a really easy way of cooking corn on the cob by actually putting the cob into the microwave exactly as you buy it, without peeling it or pulling off all those stringy bits. It has completely changed the way I cook corn on the cob and made it so much...

I hate both food waste and waste of precious environmental resources when cooking and get annoyed with both cooks and cookbooks/recipes when they state things such as 'leave under running water', 'rinse until the water runs clear', or when cooking with certain food groups it tells you to...

@morning glory suggested a thread on Cajun Cooking. I decided to make it south Louisiana. Lafayette and the surrounding Parishes (counties) are referred to as Acadiana. Lafayette is called the Hub City. Acadiana has the largest concentration of Acadians (Cajuns) in the state. NOLA (New...

Sorry if the title is misleading but couldnt come up with anything better. I'm a slightly repressed imaginitive chef. I dont get time to test out ideas as much as i love coming up with new ideas but maybe other people can test the thoughts i have or find them interesting. I work at a sorta ma...

Today I was peeling and chopping onions for a casserole dish and I realised that however much I like cooking I find peeling and chopping onions very boring. Maybe it is because I've done it so many times? I wondered if other people had particular cooking tasks they found boring. This could be a...

I am currently conducting a research about Teaching Kitchen or Food Learning Spaces as part of my thesis in my master program in Food Innovation in Italy. This research is also supported by the Italian food company Barilla that aims to help people make informed food choices, eat well, happily...

If you want to enjoy a gourmet meal using inexpensive cuts of meat then you’ll want to learn how to “braise”. Braising means browning the meat oil and/or butter then slowly cooking in a covered roasting pan. The meat is covered in a liquid which usually includes some combination of water, broth...
