Pasta Perfect
Saturday, April 26th, 2008When you go shopping it can be easy to be overwhelmed by the number of different pastas available. There is the all time favorite spaghetti but there is also rotelle, bavette, penne, linguine, fettuccine… Well the list goes on.
Let’s take a look.
The long, thin pasta shapes like spaghetti, bavette and linguine are best used with light sauces, like thin bolognese and carbonara sauce. Use sauces that are based on cream, tomato or oil and without large chunky pieces. This allows the sauce stick to the pasta, and you don’t end with a big bowl of sauce at the end.
Tricks To Maintaining A Healthy Grill
Thursday, April 24th, 2008Grilling or BBQing seems to be a warm weather passion for many people all over the world. This usually means that sometime in autumn, the grill or BBQ is placed into hibernation. It is interesting that this phenomena happens, even in the tropical parts of the world with many people, even though the outdoor temperatures do not get very low. We pull out the grill or BBQ in spring sometime and the great afternoons and evenings of outdoor cooking commence again. There is almost nothing worse than cooking up a treat of fish and then finding that the last beef marinade taste is through the fish. The type of grill will determine the amount of maintenance that is required.
Dining Out At Home
Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008I really enjoy eating at nice restaurants. Not because I don’t enjoy cooking, but more to the point, I enjoy good food. I was working in a small Oregon town for a while and found myself hard pressed for someplace really good to eat. There were plenty of restaurants in town, just very few with food I would consider really delicious. This same situation can be found in many small towns all over America.
Cool Ice Tea
Saturday, April 19th, 2008Hot summer weather makes us thirsty. However, one must be selective in what he or she drinks to quench that thirst. Water is definitely the best body coolant that quenches thirst. But, what next to water? People often prefer having cola drinks. However, although it may appear that cola drinks or cold drinks as they are popularly known might appear to cool your body, they harm your body in more ways than benefiting you.

Procedure
To prepare buttermilk curd is the prime raw material required. Beat the curd in a mixie or beater for 15 - 20 seconds. I hope you know how to prepare curd. It is simple. Boil the whole milk, cool it to room temperature and then add starter culture at 1% level. For e.g. for every one litre of milk, 10 ml of starter culture is required. It is easy and ideal to use the already available curd as a source of starter culture. After adding the starter culture to the milk, thoroughly mix it and leave it undisturbed at room temperature overnight if the prevailing atmospheric temperature is around 30°C. In temperate climate, it is better to keep the milk in an incubator at 32 - 37°C for 8-10 hours. Now the curd is ready.

It’s also the most abused and taken for granted!
There are chickens and chickens, and not all chickens are created equal.
In the UK and USA we seem to have become obsessed with the idea of cheap food. And the cheaper the better! If we can go along to our local supermarket and buy a chicken for a couple of pounds or a few dollars, we become wildly overjoyed and start acting like we have discovered some sort of culinary Holy Grail.
