Recipes that that include ginger require peeling the ginger first. However, it seems that when it calls for grated ginger there is no mention of peeling first. I always do, but now I am wondering if that is necessary? If not, how... (4 replies, last updated by sally in LA January 28, 2005)

folks leave with, could be challenging to represent local ingredients well thru desert. Perhaps a simple fruit tart would fare better. The event was truly amazing and a huge success. I am grateful for Grateful Growers Farm and... (0 replies, last updated by GodfatherofLunch June 12, 2008)

I am planning on giving mixes of Mexican Hot Chocolate as gifts. The most promising recipe that I found uses unsweetened chocolate. To give the mix a better look I was thinking of grating the chocolate rather then just dropping... (1 reply, last updated by todao December 15, 2008)

It is not unique to the city. At least one place I know elsewhere does them this way: Johnny’s in Oklahoma City, a legendary burger joint up there. They grate the cheese on and it’s almost never melted when you bite... (9 replies, last updated by kibbles October 16, 2009)

“Fresh” grated coconut, by definition, is hard to find. The stuff looses its freshness rather fast. I am not aware of any place that sells it. Your other option would be to buy coconut and grate the flesh yourself.... (2 replies, last updated by Ezra August 27, 2003)

I have never been to Grateful Bread, but I work near Amandine and I don’t think the food there is any good. The only reason to go to Amandine is for the pastries and since I am trying to cut sweets out of my life, I see no... (18 replies, last updated by Servorg November 6, 2007)

This is so helpful. I have some crusty cast iron grates on now, and am trying to decide whether to clean and re-season them, or replace them with something better. SS sounds like it’s the way to go, if I can find the right... (7 replies, last updated by dude August 17, 2007)

If we are using my “imported” Parmesan, I grate (medium-fine) the amount required, and then hit the grater maybe three more times. Yes, there is air in the mixture, but the extra runs on the grater compensate for... (9 replies, last updated by paulj October 19, 2008)

anything else. One tip I learned (maybe even here on chow.com) was to turn the grater curved side up and draw it against the block of parm (or citrus fruit), which catches the gratings in the curve and is a much easier motion for... (30 replies, last updated by danhole December 20, 2007)
