I started to cook dinner for me and my single mother when I was twelve. I never saw a cooking show, rarely looked at a cookbook, and this was way before the internet. I just experimented until something I made tasted good. I started making my own spaghetti sauce when...

I'm having a small brunch party and two of my attendees are gluten free. One of them can't have cow's milk either. I think I've got the crust covered (using goat butter and gluten free flour) but I'm confused a bit about the filling. What would you use instead of...

Do folks wash/rinse oatmeal in the morning, say, the way rice is washed/rinsed? I never done it but since my SO has been occasionally making breakfast and I saw her rinse oatmeal/millet/amaranth/etc before cooking on stove top, maybe I've been doing it wrong all these years. Reading More...

I'm reviving this old thread because I just started making my own kefir. WOW! So different than the store-bought, which just tastes like liquid yogurt. This stuff is so yeasty and fizzy! I did the double fermentation (24 hours with grains, 18 hours without) and it was so tasty! Could definitely...

Hi all, I usually make a small amount of spicy honey for my personal use. I've been asked to make a bunch for a charity event. I'm trying to scale up and the peppers just don't scale evenly. I made 5 pounds of honey, just multiplying by what I...

Ganache fail--now what?">Ganache fail--now what?

By: chefenvy | 0 Comments | On: September 7, 2015 | Category : Recipes

I've certainly made ganache quite a few times, but it's probably been a year or two. Today I had my first fail--the ganache is kind of gloppy and a bit grainy, with a marked layer of fat on top. I was planning to freeze it for a couple of weeks,...
