The whole cooking bit

Thursday March 30, 2006

The kitchen bit of this site has kinda died; well not kinda, it’s dead and buried.

The main reason is I don’t have the time to convert my pro strength recipes into those that can be used at home; takes too long.

What I do have, though, is a head full of tips and tricks that are independent of any recipe. As a simple example:

Making a good bread and butter pudding better.

If you want to make a good bread and butter pudding a fantastic one, put the recipe together as advised and let the whole thing soak for about 4 hours before baking. It comes out all the more like a souffle.

I have two questions (comments are open on this one).

  1. Is anyone actually interested in me doing this?
  2. If yes, should it have its own feed or should I bundle it with all the other crapmeaningful insight?

    1. Yes you fool, this is great

    2. bundle! Not another feed!

    I like to find out a few tricks of the trade John… Just a bit worried that some folk might choose to offer their own ‘better’ methods…

    How? Comments are generally off! ;)

  4. paul haine

    1. Yes
    2. Bundle

    Did I win?

  5. Jeff Smith

    1. Yes

    After seeing the pics of you and Mr. Hicks on Flickr I was half expecting to see a ‘cooking with john’ site.

    1. Yes
    2. Bundle

    Well, my opinion may be a tad biased because Bread & Butter pudding is my single favourite dish of any variety ever ever ever. Ever.

    So:

    1. Yes!!! God Yes. Mmmmmmm...
    2. I actually don’t mind. Bundling would seem wise, seems a much better reflection of ‘you’ to have cooking stuff mixed in with the other things you blog about. But by the same note, I wouldn’t hesitate to subscribe to another food-specific feed either.

    1. Yes, even if it’s only once in a blue moon
    2. Bundle, does it even matter?

    Trust me: The world can only be a better place with your cooking insights in it – so yes, please keep offering these useful insights.
    Bundled…not bundled…I don’t think anyone’s really going to mind mate!

    2. Bundle.
    3. The occasional “pro-strength” recipe may even be interesting.

  13. Bastiaan Terhorst

    Bring it on!

  14. Kate Bolin

    1621 days ago

    Yes, yes, yes. I want recipes!

    And if you start putting up recipes, then it gives me an incentive to start copying in the recipes I have from this 1940s “Introduction to Mexican food” cookbook that my grandmother gave me.

    (And to finally put up those photos of my king cake baking that I took back in February…)

    Just in case you haven’t already been persuaded I say ditto Hicks et al – Yes + Bundle.

    I had bread and butter pudding made with brioche last night hmm delicious… (best leave comments off to avoid ones like this)
