cooking

My issue with cooking has often been finding the time to do it. That's why I'm The Late Night Gourmet: my days are so full that I don't have much time until it's late at night. Between a long drive to and from work (40 miles each way), and long hours spent in the office, there are only so many...

Does anyone cook in a wok? I have found that you can't achieve temperatures on the stove top/hob to properly cook with a wok. Maybe if you have a commercial gas stove you can get to "Wok Hei" temperatures. I have started using one of my single burner propane cookers to get to the correct...

Hello Everyone I'm Michael John De Guzman from the Philippines and I wanted to showcase our countries' delicacy to all of you. To be honest with you guys, I've temporarily lost my job because our establishment isn't allowed to operate on this pandemic. To supplement my families' daily needs, I...

In these challenging times, keeping communication going is important for us all, especially for those in self-isolation. The one thing we all share on this forum is a love of cooking and good food and whatever happens, we all need good food every day. So please keep posting new threads about...

Ciao a tutti, This might be controversial. I saw a disturbing programme last night on TV, it was made last year. It says that the numbers of young Italian women and girls are not being taught to cook by mama any longer because many are just disinterested or prefer a career. An interview with a...

I thought we already had a thread with this (or a similar) title but I cannot find it. Anyway............

Do you have any cooking related New Year resolutions? Maybe a resolve to cook 'healthier' meals or perhaps to eat vegan or vegetarian food more often. Maybe you intend to be more experimental and cook some types of cuisine that you have never tried before?

Wifie still uses an old Krupp Austrung Werks hand mixer. 20 to 1 open gear ratio, burled red oak and nickel handle and crank. You can still jump start a Buick with it. I love it. Do you still use any old kitchen tools?

I’ve been dealing with a power outage – downed power lines because of extremely high winds - for most of the day here. There were rumors that we would be without power for as long as three days. I was sure they were being overly pessimistic. But, just in case, I decided to go out and buy a...

Hey gang! Sorry if this is in the wrong place. My name is Steve and I am a student working on a phone app for families to store and share their recipes all in one place. We're still in the beginning phase of this but if you have some time and are fond of cooking feel free to take a moment and...

Mind you, this isn't my observation. I am someone who sometimes accidentally makes a vegetarian dish (and even more accidentally, a vegan dish). But, this chef's observations really seem dead-on. I know that morning glory's son became a vegetarian (or was it a vegan?) and she's gotten quite...

I thought i could melt them to spread on top of my granola bars. But, they won't melt. Does anyone know how so I don't waste them? Right now all I have is a big blog of hard chocolate in the measuring cup. I meant to say baking bits, not cooking bits.

Hello All, I am Lil, just joined, cooking is passion and Icant wait to see some of your recipes and cooking tips

Do you ever use edible flowers or flower petals in your dishes? A surprising number of flowers are edible - and as far as I'm aware, if you can eat the leaves you can also eat the flowers (safety warning: I've not checked this!). Some common examples are rosemary, lavender, sage, chives, rose...

Detroit Coney Dogs in honor of CookingBites. In Detroit, you seemingly cannot travel more than 2 miles without seeing a Coney Island restaurant. So I had to pay tribute to these establishments with a classic Detroit Coney Island hot dog. Before we get into the debate of what a TRUE Coney Island...

I had 'home economics' classes from age 11-15 where we were taught cooking, nutrition and household budgeting. I didnt learn much that my mum had not taught me esp. as most of the recipes taught were traditional British - Cornish pasties, shepherds pie, Victoria sponge, etc. I branched out...

How long will it take to cook Curd Rice and Fish Fry.

I have only been a member on CookingBites for a relatively short time, but I have learned so much about cooking, ingredients, food photography, and international cuisines. Not to mention the amazing food discussions. What have you learned?

I’m currently surrounded by lavender bushes, and keen to find a culinary use for them. I have come across a few recipes for sweet dishes that use lavender, but sweet dishes are really not my thing. I am struggling to find any savoury dishes (veg, meat or fish) that use lavender. I have a couple...

I burn incense sticks quite often, I find it relaxes me. I love the lavender and the musk ones the best. I got into burning these when I started going out with a chick about 45 years ago, who was a bit different. You'de call her bohemian nowadays. I guess she was ahead of her time. My kids...
