Does anyone know of a good book I can check out that can get me started with tofu? What brand and type do I buy? How do I cook it? I’m pretty good in the kitchen and love to eat just about everything. I've had bean curd...

the waitstaff, as they are just not qualified or professional however, the food was FANTASTIC, and we had a very pleasurable experience!! Great duck, and awesome pork chops. The snacks are fantastic as well. Fried hominy, and...

I've been trying to make turkey burgers, with dismal results. Dry and bland. The ground meat looks like it has promise, but there’s no “there” there. But I've persevered, and made KILLER ones today. Seasoning...

have taken the skins off? Did I take them out of the oven to soon? Was I silly to try this with those giant white beans from the Greek deli? Did I skimp on the oil? I’m pretty sure I've had such a thing (at least with...

Sorry if it’s bad form to start a thread for a single Trader Joe’s item, but this one rates it. Tomyam Rice Snacks, in there with the chips, etc (IIRC), are the tastiest thing I've found at TJ in a long time. For lack...

I've got a friend coming into town for the Sunday opera atelier matinee at the elgin. Looking to go somewhere afterward where we can feel comfortable noshing/boozing in our opera duds without breaking the bank. Doesn’t need...

Looking for new healthy snacks and lunch ideas for this new school year. Last year was a bit mundane- same thing rotated around. Would love some new ideas. So, what are you favorite healthy snacks and lunch ideas your kids...

I can recall having noodles in a peanut type sauce at Beijing style, Korean and even Thai restaurants, but I had never seen Hong Kong style egg noodles prepared in peanut sauce until encountering this dish at Ah Ping Snack Bar, 2...

Hi there My relatives just came back from the UK and brought our favourite Marks & Spencers Shrimp Prawn tail Snacks (I think it’s chips but not crisps....) they are puffy light airy snacks. Does anyone know where I can get...

Last week, while on business in the Eastern & Carlaw area, I stumbled upon Gale’s Snack Bar, an anachronism of a greasy spoon from another era in more ways than one. The small, rundown lunch counter with three cramped booths...

In this thread, I asked about ideas for a food road trip to the Peninsula/San Jose.... http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/596419 had lots of responses, and here’s what we ended up doing: Our road trip developed into a bit of a...

and a strip of sweet red pepper, and unlike other examples I’ve had, the chicken was skinless and off the bone and the olive, pitted. The orange-colored sauce napped on top looks like carrots but tastes like a mild tomato puree....

in NYC. Everything is made fresh ( you can watch her make the dough) and there are a variety of Taiwanese style snacks, most of which are $1. Take-out only. But the ephipnay is the baozi—giant and stuffed with quality...

I made both of these also, and loved both of them too. Just two notes: The cucumber salad is good to eat either just as soon as you've made it, or after it’s had a chance to sit a while, as the recipe directs. But the chili...

"Snack crawls" I love that! I've never just ordered one but when dining out, in lieu of an entree, I often order a couple of appetizers and/or sides. I don’t think I would just order, say, one appetizer to be shared. If I...
