cooking NYT vs EatYourBooks http://cookbooker.com/test-dir/forum/discussion/307/cooking-nyt-vs-eatyourbooks Thu, 29 Jun 2017 22:37:05 -0400 Queezle Sister 307@/test-dir/forum/discussions
Have you heard that the lovely cooking NYT website will now charge admission. It was inevitable, and certainly it's high quality. But the annual cost is around $60, more than I want to spend.

So I am thinking about re-subscribing to Eat Your Books. At $30, it will help me get into all those lovely cookbooks languishing on my shelf.

Are any of you EAT Your Books members? Do you use your cookbooks to plan your weekly shopping? Shop daily? Just wondering how others organize, as cooking from recipes, we all know, requires ingredients!]]>

We rank the Chili braised pork shoulder tacos #1, the pulled pork a close second, and the roast third. We were surprised, thinking that there were few things better than pulled pork!

Is it just me or do you also think it's gross to serve a marinade as sauce? And this isn't even the first time I've come across such a thing!

I always heard you're supposed change cutting boards and knife after you've used them for raw meat or fish, so I'm pretty surprised to encounter instructions like these...]]>
Avocado oil - suggested uses? http://cookbooker.com/test-dir/forum/discussion/194/avocado-oil-suggested-uses Wed, 02 Oct 2013 10:46:57 -0400 Queezle Sister 194@/test-dir/forum/discussions Comfort Food http://cookbooker.com/test-dir/forum/discussion/192/comfort-food Sat, 28 Sep 2013 23:47:58 -0400 bunyip 192@/test-dir/forum/discussions
We had a boned shoulder stuffed with a Jill Dupleix recipe - breadcrumbs, parsley, anchovies, capers and lemon-infused olive oil. Roast potatoes, tomato and onion gratin and parsnip puree. Forgot about the pumpkin, but it wouldn't have fitted on the plates. Accompanied by a nice bottle of shiraz.

We decided that life wasn't so bad after all. You can't beat roast lamb as comfort food! And we had excellent sandwiches for lunch today so the sense of well-being continues.

But of course that's just me. What do you cook when you need cheering up?
