Hey good cooks, I am looking to purchase a good balkan cook book as a christmas present for my sister as she is really into food and has lived and travlled across most of the balkan countries....
Not Balkan specific but ‘The Cooking of the Eastern Mediterranean’ by Paula Wolfert is great. It’s older though so it isn’t Instagram worthy photos, just great recipes, and commentary about how things are done. Like baking/ cooking in large Tandoor in Georgia.
There is also ‘Croatia at Table’ by Ivanka Bilus. This does have the photos and explains about different regions, things like butter/ cream in the north, olive oil in the south etc. The recipes are fine, but no standouts to me at least.
Hopefully someone with more cheesemaking experience will reply. I don’t know enough about it to say. I would not eat anymore of it without knowing more about the cause.
There are cheeses that are very strong and ‘bad tasting’ to many people, Casu Marzu and Époisses for example, but the smell and flavor is more of Ammonia, not at all what you are describing.
This is a guess, but maybe butyric acid produced by anerobic bacteria? Butyric acid is ‘buttery and unpleasant’ vs Diacetyl which is a lot of the smell in good butter, and should be in Cheddar (and many other cheeses).
In the last couple of months I have noticed an increasing trend of supplying me search results that are completely unrelated to the current query and tie back to my location or previous searches. I can say this with a high degree of certainty this is without a doubt beyond the 100th instance this has happened....
I’m planning to make my first ever bakery dish for Christmas as a surprise to my family. Do you have decorations that might look funny, cute or maybe something other for a food decoration. I couldn’t find any good tiny anime figures, so my best bet are these cats.
I have actually never broken one. Peel the leaf from the chocolate, not the other way round. The darker the chocolate the more brittle it will be I think. As long as the leaves aren’t huge I don’t think you will have a problem.
For cakes I like using leaves brushed with chocolate.
Wash some green leaves (preferably something non toxic), dry, chill in fridge, brush with melted chocolate, chill again, peel the leaf from the chocolate.
I once heard that in the middle of 20th century, public transportation in the USA was widely privatized and bought by automotive manufacturers, and then wilfully left to rot, so that people would buy more cars....
It said that Google put it in their aggregated report. Not that they disclosed it. There is a big difference between ‘we got 100 requests’ and ‘we got 10 requests for X info, 30 for Y info’.
ETA: I just looked at the data again, it’s broken in to categories like FISA NSL etc, then it just gives a range of requests 0-1000 etc.

Really, how can I stop them from eating my plants? Some don’t have leaves anymore. They are not even edible. They are even biting the cacti for some reason....

Garlic will repel aphids on some plants, but other aphids will feast on garlic, it depends on the climate. A spray of water with a little soap and a pinch of salt is lethal to most aphids. The soap helps make it stick.
Garlic spray is my goto for dealing with pests from bugs to cats. Most things hate it, it smells like hell.
Put a few cloves in a spray bottle, leave it in the sun for a few days, add a pinch of salt and a little soap.
It really will grow almost anywhere, and it costs you nothing if you use the redheaded stepchildren, smallest cloves for greens. (You probably can’t say that anymore, but since I am one, evs yo).
I cut 2 slices off, and they were terrible, as the title says. Gummy, flavor not fully developed. Exactly what I want. This is what I want from a sandwich bread. I will slice and toast this for the next few days. Toasting will firm it up, develop Maillard reactions, and allow any liquid to be sponged up. Marinated Pork Belly,...
I’m saying that I do all those things on purpose when I am baking a sandwich loaf. I always will toast the bread first unless I’m making grilled cheese.
Any other type of bread is baked the way it should be, proper rise times, etc. The exception to that is when I am playing around with very long cold ferments (5+ days), or alternative leaveners like rice, chillies, beans, whatever. They’re much more unpredictable in behavior.
