Hes like the Bill Nye of food. Generally unless there's a specific recipe I want to copy, I get 2-3 versions and cobble something together. His is usually the baseline. google 'dish name alton brown'. Though ever since I saw a recipe of his with sugar in a mother fucking marinara, I haven't been as big of a fan. Seriouseats is always worth googling as well. | ||

As for truffels a general recipe is: 150g Cream 200g milk couverture 250g dark couverture 250g soft butter 90ml alcohol Heat the cream, melt the chocolate within, once it's melted, add the alcohol, and let it sit for at least 6 hours. After that, mix the soft butter with the chocolate and fill it in a piping bag. Pipe the truffles on a baking sheet and let them sit again for a while. Now coat them with a thin layer of melted chocolate and roll them in cocoa powder afterwards. The difference beween the recipes is basically you vary the ingedients for differnt taste, texture and usage. You could make it harder so you don't pipe it, instead cut the ganache. Or you use chocolate shells and pipe will them. The cocolate shells could be either bought or created from a mould. And once you start creating chocolates where plain chocolate is the coating you need to learn how to properly temper the couverture to get a glossy look and that chocolate cracking feel when eating. To give you an idea of e.g. the pistacio ones in notes: - buy ingredients (yes that's actually a pretty tricky part sometimes) 1/2 cup heavy cream, 3/4 cup unsalted green pistacios, 8 oz white chouverture, 10 oz bittersweet couverture - chop pistacios very fine - heat 1/2 cup cream with pistacios in a pan till simmer - remove from heat, let it sit for 10 minutes - strain mixture - add cream to infused cream to get back to 1/2 cup - stir 2 spoon soaked pistacios back in - reheat it, add white chocolate - let it cool down - fill it in chocolate shells - let it sit for 12 hours - close the shells with melted chocolate - temper dark chocolate (heat it to 43°c, cool it to 28°c while infusing it with new chocolate, reheat it to 32°c) - coat shells with dark chocolate - add pistacio on top | ||

It originally started out as a thrown in experiment for a veggie chicken marsala (subbing fired eggplant for chicken). I just ended up doing a bunch traditional style fried in evo. so good. Regular chicken marsala is such a great dish when done right. gtfo with your roux yo | ||

Any earthy spice would be nice IMHO, cumin or coriander even cinnamon etc. if we are counting salt as a spice i guess that is a gimme as well. Also don't rule out plain black pepper, just don't go overboard. Some spice mixes could be good either a Moroccan blend or a curry blend as well. On the flip side if we were to include herbs into the discussion, cilantro is a natural pair with black beans. | ||

I'm planning on making stock soon. Is there any problem with using bones from different kinds of animals at the same time (ex. chicken and pork) | ||

2 cups of thickly sliced (13mm - 1/2') field mushrooms. Gotta be this thick because they shrink. 1/2 cup of dry white wine. 1 tblsp butter. 1 cup of hot beef gravy. 3/4 cup of cream. Put the mushrooms and butter in a frying pan on a medium heat and cook until mushrooms go slightly soft. Keep an eye on them and stir occasionally. Add the wine and cook until reduced to about 10%. Add gravy and cook for 5 mins. Add cream and heat through. Lavish over your medium rare steak. Enjoy. | ||

I've been trying to improve my tomatoes n eggs /shrimp n eggs, but they keep turning out not the way I want them... How do they turn out not the way you want them? Generally when I do this recipe, I beat two eggs and cook them before hand. Mix it around while it's still liquid on the pan with chopsticks or spatula, and set it aside while it's still slightly runny. Cook the tomatoes with a couple slices of ginger and salt/sugar to taste, a splash of ketchup, and add the eggs for like half a minute to finish. I've never tried just shrimp and eggs, but I might cook shrimp first and then add beaten eggs in shortly after and mix? without having to set eggs aside. | ||
