I ate dog food today, and I don’t mind admitting that I liked it. It was a bit bland, but otherwise it was tasty, and I can't blame my dogs for liking it, too.
Over the years, I've tried giving my dogs a variety of dog foods, from the crappy, low-end ones that I realized soon are not good for...
Not sure I'm in the right forum but move it if I'm not.
The Wife and I haven't really been into deep frying until recently.
We just purchased a Globe Commercial fryer after trying many cheap deep fryers over the years.
We've always used the cast iron pots to fry with but we got sick of the...
I’ve often thought that fresh bay leaves were a rather underused herb. The way I’ve used them in the past is to add one or two leaves to a stew, soup or marinade or maybe to decorate the top of a pâté. Here I thought I’d bring their savoury yet floral taste to the fore. Luckily I have an...
Back in the days when we were kids, we used to fry chicken with shortening or lard. This was in the '60's, "70's & maybe in the '80's. We thought nothing of it! The chicken was good & it tasted great!! There were no concerns about health or anything of that nature.
Now today, there is a strong...
Cooking an anniversary dinner and was thinking to do like chicken Milanese and serve it on top of spaghetti. Most recipes I have seen use a tomato sauce for the spaghetti but I was thinking to maybe make like a mushroom sauce with cream and wine. Do you think this sounds nice and any tips? Or...
Fresh raspberries give a lovely tang to these spicy chicken wings. Its an easy recipe: marinate the wings, tip onto a baking tray and bake. The recipe is for six large wings but can easily be scaled up for more. Serve with a dip of your choice. I also served some 'off the bone' in a salad...
Picked up 1kg of bone in skin on chicken thighs reduced. Not sure what to make for dinner with them. Any ideas? Thought maybe a curry as I have the spices and tomato's and coconut milk. How would I go about making it. Will the skin go soggy? Open to other recipe ideas

I make this dish often, it's a favorite in Hawaii, part of my comfort food repertoire.
This has roots from Japanese folks that migrated to Hawaii to work the Sugar and Pineapple plantations.
Like most other people, everyone brings with them recipes from back home and then tinkers with them to...

A kofta is a Persian meatloaf. There are similarities in the recipe to meatloaf recipes we've seen before: ground meat, egg, bread. What separates it from a western meatloaf is the seasoning. There's a small amount of ground coriander, but it's important to the overall flavor. And, rather than...
Making fried chicken and just wondering what the best flour to use is. Seen some recipes say to use some cornstarch with the flour and others say to add baking powder. I have potato starch should I add some of that? Would you add baking powder too? Only made fried chicken once before along time...

This is a lovely dish, a slight variation on the classic alfredo. Video posted here.
With the seasoning I decided not to go heavy on the Cayenne, it's definitely there, just not in a blow-your-socks-off quantity.
Chicken breasts x2
Olive oil
Cajun seasoning (approx 50 g)
2 tbsp pap
2 tbsp gar...
I did a lot of research before making this. Some of it was in Madrid earlier this month, in many restaurants. Not all of them were great, but all of them were good. The rest of it was spent wading through a wide range of paella recipes, trying to figure out what I liked about the ones I liked...
Preserved lemon, saffron and olives bring Middle Eastern flavours to this easy chicken tray bake and the potatoes soak up the delicious juices from the chicken. The lemon curd glaze is optional but it does provide an unusual sweet citrus taste to the chicken. I served this dish with a crisp...
