a good idea: cooking lessons. The challenge is that they live in Boston, and I don’t, so I have no idea where to get them lessons. I’m looking to spend something in the $300 range. Yahoo! failed miserably, suggesting...

to a one-minute commercial, and end up with a violently boiling pot of water. Unless her stove is something like a jet engine, I’m not convinced. This gives the actual cook a complex, like they aren’t as good of a...

For the cooks on here: "in the weeds" "86"

I am in a rut. I cook a variety of things, of different origin and ethnicity, but I am just bored and uninspired. Has anyone ever felt this and if so how did they break the spell? I usually love to cook, but even with the change...

My yellow lab is not a cook or back seat driver. She does want to be a taster. Her thing is engineering. She helps me whenever I make stuff. She again does more QC than anything. I can never get her to help no matter how much she...

. But this program was typical Alton schlock – the guy is not an engineer, he’s not a scientist, he’s just the cook. I fried my first turkey using one of those kits about 10 years ago. Amazingly, the only thing...

some ppl go one step further, cooking while driving (with food broiling on the car engine).

recipes on this board and it looks to me like they need a long cooking time to make the leaves tender. This recipe on the package is called Curried Collards with Potatoes and the cooking time after you add the collards is very...

I hate Cook's Illustrated. The obsessive-compulsive engineer's approach to perfecting recipes creeps me out. The product comparisons usually include few if any of the brands availble in my area. Plus they’re horrible...
