I am not sure if you get Australian Rose there or if you prefer the sweeter to the dryer style but if you get a chance try a Noon Rose or a David Franz Rose. Both are in a dry style and ideally suited to food. You can have the...

I wondered about this myself, but don’t have an ice cream machine. Thanks for testing this out, Mr. T Here’s a photo of Brogueire’s eggnog, taken at my local Gelson’s market. Yes, I’m that guy taking...

feel the energy, I’ve sat guests close to the kitchen be delighted that they could smell the food and so on: “I must be tucked in the back where it's quiet”, “I must be up front to be seen”, “I...

which is exemplary in most every way. The sides at BR, again, are GOOD. A nice taste of Southern cooking but not the best in town. In my defense, I understand and appreciate real American BBQ and Southern food. My gold standard is...

I can actually recall cylinder shapes. This was the late 90s.

.M.A.Z.I.N.G. The chocolate really did taste like chocolate – nothing overly sweet or artificial about it. Very clean, pure REAL taste. I also tried the sour cherry and it actually tasted like cherry and not the red food...

-month period. My suggestion is only that you review both the six-month thread and this thread, along with the suggestion (as I recall) that December be a baking cookbook month, to select those books from which we will then vote...

anyone recall which house this which house this was? Has anyone had experience doing the same? Any advice or leads would be appreciated. Peter
