Food preferences

Recently, a friend forwarded a recipe for morning glory muffins. I was going through Seasonal recipes from the garden and came across another recipe of the muffins. What I learnt from the recipe comparision is that the person who sent the recipe to my friend does not like nutmeg, likes vanilla flavor, like salt less, oil more and likes sugar in pure form, seperate from shredded coconut.

It happened to be a colleague's bday today. I made the morning glory muffins and a cake from the same batter using the revipe in the book with 2/3 cup oil and only 1 cup sugar. One thing I appreciated about the making of this is the little mixing that I had to do. No need of electric blender. My husband appreciated the less sweet. Friends liked the nuts,raisins and apple in it.

Chemical study of food

Can you guess the physics experiments that potato chips are put to? Cake recovery. siphon cake The picture of algination looks like people in a line dancing alternately with the next one's hands and legs.

Banana pudding

I went over the roasted banana pudding recipe from yesterday and found it too consuming (shopping time, dishes, baking time), I finally decided on caramelized banana pudding . And meringue making is merry. Flour is used in making the custard. all purpose flour plays the corn starch role of thickening the custard. I used Parle G instead of vanilla wafers.

Slices and Stallions

While there are books that are all about just one ingredient like Flavored oils and vinegars there are others that are about a gamut of things. Everything Pizza cookbook has recipes for all the kinds of pizza that there can be with different crusts, sauces, cheeses, toppings. Smoked Salmon Pizza, Polenta Pizza. Cooking for engineers Tasso Ham . When I read that Tasso is also the name of an Italian poet, I wanted to point to his work too. I looked for it but found it in prehistoric language. It so happens that I am reading poems about horses and recognised Tasso's name beneath his poem translated. Second paragraph has life infused in it with equine motions. Another poem that I like in this collection is 'New Foal' by Ted Hughes.
