Our small Madeira cakes often shrink excessively during cooling How can we avoid this

All cakes shrink a little on cooling. However, excessive shrinking on cooling occurs because the intact gas cells in the texture contract. During baking the gas cells forming the foam in the batter expand as they are filled with the steam and gas produced by the raising agents. Because of the high quantity of sugars in the batter the gelatinisation temperature of the cell wall material is delayed and the structure does not 'set' until the temperature reaches the high 80s C.

Fermented Oatmeal

As the story goes, I spit oatmeal at my grandmother when she was feeding me. Of course, I was too young to remember. But I can say I've never eaten oatmeal and enjoyed it, since. Perhaps I need to try fermented oatmeal. I would try it with craisins or apples and cinnamon. It's not hard to believe that our ancestors, without access to the mechanization of the modern age, processed their grains differently than we do today.

What is the sugarbatter method of cakemaking

With this cakemaking method a batter is formed based on an emulsion of oil in water with air bubbles trapped in the fat phase. The other ingredients are dissolved or dispersed in the water phase.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if the weekday meal was pipping-hot-ready when you got home? So all you needed to do was fix a side salad and a refreshing drink for dinner to be ready. I would LOVE that!

I’m usually rushing home to fix a less than satisfying meal or running out to grab something to eat so that I’m not eating dinner at 8pm.

Traditional hilltop villages, ancient Byzantine history, delicious regional delicacies and a breeze scented with fresh basil. Naxos is one Greek island that many simply don't know about, but they really ought to.

South Beach, Key West and Florida Keys

With Central America and Cuba behind us, the next step on our northward travels was Miami, Florida. A few nights settled into an apartment to recharge and reacquaint ourselves with the luxuries of being in a western country. Home was South Beach which, I must be honest, kinda did nothing for me. The beach and Lincoln Road draw sun worshippers and shoppers, and that area known as Ocean Drive the one with all those lovely art deco buildings along it either appeals or repels.

Hobotnica na žaru {grilled octopus}

Octopus is one of those creatures you either love or are freaked-out by. Or perhaps you like eating it, but prefer to close your eyes and not think about it too much. As was the case when I gave some of this to my visiting mother-in-law when she was in town. She loves the taste but struggles with the sight of the nobbly tentacles. On the other hand, they were lapped up with gusto when presented at a lunch with friends at my place not all that long ago.

Exploring San Blas & Centro Histórico in Cusco, Peru

It's a little difficult to comprehend that almost 20 years have passed since we were last in Cusco, and to be honest, I remember very little. I do remember struggling with the high altitude, thanks to flying direct from Lima, and I remember visiting the sacred site of Saqsaywaman. The main reason we were in Cusco, back in 1999, was to trek to Machu Picchu along the Inca Trail.

Shanghai Spring Roll Wrappers

Strawberry Ice Cream Cups

I can finally feel spring arriving Just this morning I planted my very first vegetable garden. It's small but I'm ruthlessly optimistic Anxiously waiting for the farmer's markets to start popping up, young grass to sprout, and trees to start unleashing their leaves is maddening. Finding strawberries that aren't astronomically priced really helps move that feeling along. Not that chocolate isn't fantastic year-round, but berries must take priority when they're fresh and cheap.

Baked Custard Recipe

This is a great, easy and tasty Nourishing Traditions dessert recipe. My family was scraping their bowls to get every last bit of custard I have to admit though, I totally messed it up the first night by adding TWICE as much sweetener as the recipe calls for, by accident. I figured it out after the custards were baked and decided to serve them anyway to see if the family would eat them.

Unleavened Breads

The Jewish Passover bread (matzoh) that looks like a cracker is one kind of unleavened bread. But any flat cracker could be an unleavened bread, if it's made without soda or baking powder.

Bean & Cheese Tostadas

In almost five years of sharing my stories and recipes here, I recently realized that I've yet to talk about one of my favorite standby Tex-Mex dishes. Bean and Cheese Tostadas.

Iquitos, Peru's gateway to the Amazon

Set on the confluence of the Nanay and Itaya Rivers, and of course the Amazon River, the city of Iquitos is only accessible by air. Or if you're adventurous a boat trip that can take up to a week. For those that don't know, this city in the far flung northeast of Peru is the most isolated port city in the world. Something to do with the Amazon Jungle, I think, and it couldn't be more different to any other city or town we've visited in Peru. Even the Spanish has a different twang.

Combination Cooking

Combination Cooking

Sometimes, great things happen when you combine the best of two techniques. This is the case with combination cooking. As the term suggests, combination cooking combines two techniques you have already learned moist and dry. Two major combination techniques are braising and stewing.

Baking the Bread What Heat does

Baking seems simple to us put the well-risen, proofed dough in the hot oven and take it out when it is fully baked. If all went well (and there is no reason why it shouldn't), we place a still-steaming, irresistibly-perfumed, brown-crusted, mouth-wateringly beautiful loaf of bread on a wire rack, and we are ready to cut into it after a short cooling period. But the baking process is anything but simple. There is a series of very complex chemical reactions and physical processes that happen...

I've seriously lost track how many times I've tried to figure out how many chocolate chips are in 1 ounce.

Recipe: Blarney Balls

I've been on a bit of a Bailey's kick lately. It's safe to say Bailey's is my absolute favorite form of alcohol. It has a definite booze kick (40 alcohol ), yet it's sweet and smooth. While I'm not much of a drinker, I do love alcohol when it's disguised with an obnoxious amount of sugar. Imagine that. Sugar. Chocolate blog. Uh huh. That was a no-brainer. Feeling the urge to create a Boubon Ball-like recipe, I searched the internet for ideas and found a great one at Food.com.

From time to time we have noticed a white discoloration on the surface of our allbutter shortbread Why does this occur

The discoloration that you have observed is the phenomenon commonly referred to as 'fat bloom'. It is the formation of small crystals of fat on the surface of the biscuit and occurs mainly as the result of temperature cycling during storage, that is periods of warmth and cold such as may occur in unheated locations subject to the effects of ambient temperature fluctuation. Fat crystals may exist in a number of different forms (see 3.1). Since their size may be as small as 5 m only agglomerates...

Yeung Chow Fried Rice

Does every Chinese person like fried rice I don't know. Probably Fried rice to me is like comfort food (besides a good cup of milk tea or a good bowl of wonton noodle soup). I mean, it's quick to cook with zero tricky business. If I were to feed four kids on a weeknight after a long day at work, fried rice would be what I'd put on the dinner table.

Strawberry Jam Whipped Cream

Strawberry jam whipped cream is simple to make, and tastes just like strawberry ice cream Ever since February, I have not been able to stop thinking about new and creative ways to use my preserves. I've made oat bars filled with raspberry preserves and glazed a ham steak with pepper jelly. In Jamaica, we had a brick oven pizza that used a mango jam in place of tomato sauce for a Hawaiian pizza, and now I can't stop thinking about using marmalade or chutney on a grilled pizza.

Patriotic Cathedral Window Jell-O

Patriotic red, white and blue colors in this delicious cathedral window Jell-O dessert make for a cool treat on warm summer days. Set it on the table and don't worry about anything melting.

Portions In Food Service

The size of the portion served to the guest varies based on a number of factors. The first factor is the meal period. Lunch portions are smaller than dinner portions.

Information on juicing Parsnip

How To Store Scones

When I made my savory scones earlier this month, I knew we wouldn't be able to eat the entire batch before the last few scones went stale. I had so many other recipes to test, and we had several dinners out planned. Plus, scones become so much less appetizing to me once they are more than a day or two old. They tend to turn soft, losing their characteristic buttery flakiness. Which means I basically refuse to eat them after 48 hours. So I needed to find some storage solutions.

Harvesting Dent Flint Popcorn and Indian Corn

Relating a glutenfree diet to the glycemic index

Gluten-containing foods like bread, bagels, pizza, pasta, cookies, cakes, and pretzels are super-high on the glycemic index. When you cut those things out of your diet, you're eliminating high GI foods that offer little in the way of nutritional value.

Fermented Cranberries

Cranberry sauce is a staple on many holiday dinner tables. Everyone has their own favorite recipe and some folks even prefer the canned variety I came up with this recipe to try and get some natural probiotics into my kids. I thought fruit ferments were the way to go for introducing kids who are not keen on the sour taste of sauerkraut. I always prefer to go with in-season fruits and veggies when possible so cranberries were an obvious choice.

Names and Kinds of Corn

Names Corn

The word Zea is ancient Greek for cereal and comes from the verb to live. Similarly, the native American word for corn was maize, which meant that which sustains. To Europeans, the word corn meant and still means the hard kernels of any common grain wheat, oats, barley or maize. That's why the pioneers called maize corn and why Europeans are still confused when we say corn. If you are speaking to a European, call the plant maize, and then there will be no...

REVIEW: Lindt's ‘A Touch of Sea Salt' Dark Chocolate

Especially their Dark Chocolate Bars. I have to admit I didn't like Dark Chocolate until a year or so ago. It was always too bitter and chalky. Blech Then one day a co-worker shared a small piece of her Lindt 70 Dark Chocolate Bar and I was instantly sold. I couldn't believe I was eating 70 Dark Chocolate It was smooth and very Chocolaty without any chalky flavor. D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S Since then I've had other brands of 70 Chocolate and they don't compare to Lindt.

Brined Barbecue Chicken Giveaway

Brined Barbecue Chicken is the juiciest and most flavorful way to grill up a chicken dinner. Have I ever mentioned that chicken is our dog's favorite food Have I ever mentioned that our dog's name is Waffles Chicken. And Waffles. A million heart-eyed emojis. We try not to feed Waffles human-food most of the time. This rule stems from the fact that I did NOT have this rule with our cat, Delilah.

Food for Pigs

Pigs Recycle Kitchen Scraps Pigs are important because they eat kitchen scraps garbage. We keep a slop bucket in the kitchen for the pigs. Into the slop bucket go peelings, leftovers, extra milk, spoiled foods from the root cellar, the contents from jars of canned fruit that got moldy, bread crusts if I burned the bottom of the loaf or accidentally baked it 2 hours instead of 40 minutes and so on. People have asked me if you can feed chickens scraps of chicken meat or pigs scraps of pig meat....

Gelatin Hair Mask

I love my naturally curly hair but keeping it healthy can be a struggle. I have very fine hair that damages easily, and so my tresses can end up feeling like straw sometimes no matter how gently I treat it. A few weeks ago, a friend mentioned that she had tried a DIY gelatin protein treatment. Her hair was looking extra-shiny and gorgeous, but I was still a little skeptical. Until I asked my hairdresser, who confirmed that gelatin can be wonderful for hair.

Frozen Artichoke Hearts

These usually come in io-ounce packages and are baby, halved hearts with the tender center leaves still attached.

Moving beyond rice corn and potatoes

When adopting a gluten-free lifestyle, people tend to turn to starchy, fill-me-up standbys like rice, corn, and potatoes. People seek these out partly because they are starchy foods, a replacement of sorts for the bread, pasta, and bagels we're accustomed to eating when we eat gluten. So what's the problem with substituting these standbys They're gluten-free, so they should be fine, right Well, they're fine from a gluten-free standpoint. But they're pretty much void of nutrients, at least...

How To Freeze Soft Pretzels

In case you haven't noticed, I've developed a bit of a love for homemade soft pretzels. Problem is, they're best fresh out of the oven. Which means we either need to eat four pretzels within hours of baking, or deal with the pretzels. And while I'd gladly eat four pretzels in a matter of hours, my waistline isn't going to thank me for that. So I set out to find the best way to freeze them.

The Biscuit Method

Coconut Butter Stuffed Dates

I'm quite pleased with this creation. I was wanting a dessert while doing an elimination diet, and searching through recipes was quite depressing. It seemed like I had eliminated everything . Even stuffed dates seemed off limits because those are typically filled with goat cheese or nuts. Honestly, if I ate pork, I'd just wrap them in some bacon and call it a day.

Broiled Grapefruit with Brown Sugar and Ginger

I have a short and sweet little post for you today. I am running a bit behind schedule with all my school work, but that's expected, since midterms are coming up next week (ugh). I just need to find the time to actually do all the reading I need to do, and catch up on the sleep that I totally did NOT get last night (hooray for staying in studio until almost 7 am this morning, and then having a presentation at 9 ). Sigh, but anyway.

Banana Chocolate Pudding Torte

Let's face it, this is just a dressed up pudding pie but it looks damn good on the table. Truth be told, I was reluctant to post it because I actually wound up overcooking the crust by mistake, but then my friend Dana ate it and said it was her kind of dessert crunchy crust and all so here I am posting it. This is incredibly easy to make, but it does take some planning to set up right. The springform pan makes all the difference in taking this from average to sophisticated.

Vietnamese Pork Summer Rolls

Vietnamese summer rolls are one of my all-time favorite dishes. I don't know if it's the fresh flavor of the mint and cilantro, the springy texture when you bite into the rice paper, or the decadent peanut dipping sauce, but I can't think of a much better appetizer on a hot summer day. The other weekend, my mom and I helped her friend MJ plan her son's graduation party. Being the hot weekend it was, summer rolls immediately popped in my mind. I just had to plan the logistics.

How do we convert a plain sponge recipe to a chocolate form

The use of the term ' chocolate' to describe a cake varies a little around the world and is often regulated in some way. For example, in the UK chocolate can be used as a cake descriptor only if the final product contains not less than 3 dry, non-fat cocoa solids (LAJAC, 1963). This is usually achieved through the addition of cocoa powder and when calculating the level to use in a recipe allowance must be made for variations in moisture (usually around 5 ) and fat (commonly between 10 and 20 )....

What effects will variations in flour protein content have on baked product quality How is the property measured

The protein content of flour is probably the single most important property of wheat flour. Perhaps more correctly we should refer to wheat proteins since there is more than one type of protein present. The scheme established by Osborne (1907) is most commonly used for the groups of proteins in wheat, which comprise albumins, soluble in distilled water globulins, soluble in dilute salt solutions prolamines, soluble in 70 aqueous ethanol glutelins, soluble in dilute acid. The two most important...

Why do we get a less regular lift in our puff pastry when we use the Scotch method compared with the English or French

Croissant Cutting Diagram

The so-called Scotch method of producing puff pastry differs fundamentally from the English or French in that the laminating fat is added at the dough-making stage rather than later in the process. To achieve this the laminating fat is usually cut into small cubes, with sides of about 20 mm, and added to the mixing bowl along with the other ingredients. After mixing, the paste will be sheeted and laminated in a similar manner to paste prepared by the other two methods. Telloke (1991) used light...

Classification of ingredients by their functional roles in extrusion cooking

The complex mixture of materials present in a recipe may appear very confusing to the extrusion cooking technologist and machine operator. One of the first steps taken at CCFRA in developing a better understanding of the extrusion cooking process was the introduction of the Guy Classification System for ingredients. This was published in 19943 and is based on the grouping of ingredients according to their functional role using a physicochemical approach. Originally six groups were selected to...
