Interesting. The chocolate pictured on its cover is a new one of my memory serves me right. So at least one new recipe?

Dan Dan Mian - chili paste made by slowly roasting ground sichuan peppercorns, sichuan chili powder and cinnamon in oil and then mixing with soy sauce, tahini, hoisin sauce and zhengjiang vinegar. Baby bok choy quickly blanched and ground pork stir fried either ginger, garlic and ya cai. Served with Chinese wheat noodles and topped with scallions

I just randomly searched for the 3rd edition of Chocolates and Confections, and saw more info on Wiley's website. See here Also, you can download a PDF with more info on the book, I'll see if I can attach it here. Part of it says "The new edition of Chocolates and Confections delivers a unique combination of clear explanations of confectionery science, beautiful artisan techniques, and dependable formulas for confectioners, students in confectionery courses, or anyone who makes chocolates in their restaurant, hotel, or candy shop." I'll be interested in differences and new content, but at the same time can't help but think it's more of a superficial refresh that CIA gives to their books every sometines.

Their definition of food terms is very wide. Today's food connection was at best tenuous.

Gonna call this palak jheenga (spinach with shrimp instead of paneer): Spinach and cilantro sauteed with serrano chiles, ginger, and salt. Separately saute fenugreek seeds, diced onion, garlic, and cumin seed, cook down with crushed tomato, and then combine with the spinach, moistened with a little chicken broth. Shrimp were seared and added in last. Basmati rice pilaf with onions and broccolini: Fry cardamom pods, cloves, and canela, then add sliced onion and fry slowly with a little sugar. Broccolini was sauteed separately with black mustard seed and cumin seed, then everything was mixed together. I was supposed to divide the onion, half with the rice and half as garnish, but I goofed up. Oh well, no complaints.

According to the link you posted, there are three producers. Anyway, I am downloading and give my impressions later.

Oh well.

My double-consonant guess was allowed 🤷‍♀️

It might be a bug, but perhaps it's the app's awkward way of saying that each letter can be used only once.

Many more words like that and I may say Phooey

Pork schnitzel

I tried this but the texture was off,. I'm going to try it again

Good point! There's a feedback button that might be useful in this case.

Bean salad would fit that category. (3-bean, 5-bean, it goes by lots of names...mine usually relies on a vinaigrette dressing, and it benefits from sitting.) I'd be pleased to open a refrigerator and find that.

Documentary that started on October 10 on Apple TV. Gordon Ramsey is one --or maybe the only--producer. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt36935784/ I've watched the first episode that is based in NYC. I found it interesting. It was focused on three restaurants Cocodaq --trying to make the best fried chicken ever, The Musket Room -already has a star so trying to keep it, and Noksu which is located in the subway I think?. Anyway, anyone watching? Anyone eaten at these places?

I see you served a pasta salad -- maybe you could provide other hearty salads, which would be easier for those without kitchens. Lettuce salads don't keep very well unless you keep the dressing separate, but other varieties of pasta salads or potato salad with ham and cheese might work. Quiche is another dish that doesn't have to be reheated (although of course it could be).

Do we have to look for Phoodle every day? Edited to add: never mind, I downloaded the app.

Could be fun but this looks like a bug:

Okaaay. I guess that's an English word.

Kind of a drop dumpling or spaetzel. Flour,egg, salt mixed until it comes together. Drop teaspoon-ish size globs into slow boil/heavy simmering broth/soup. My grams version is onion, celery, carrot sautéed in butter. Add bacon, potatoes and chicken stock, simmer until everything is tender. Then add the rivels and simmer until they are cooked. Her's were very soft and pillowy. I make mine with much more chew, she was always upset when hers turned out chewy . I guess rivel would be singular. In my family rivels referred to both the soup and the rivel pieces themselves.

"Rivels"? More information, please. And is that a plural word or singular, as in one could have "a rivel"?

Given the curiousity and playfulness of many eGullet members, I have no doubt that we have many puzzle lovers: word games, crosswords, jigsaws, and so on. However, discussion of such puzzles is outside our mission and so never discussed here. Until today. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Phoodle. The objective is to guess a 5-letter culinary term in no more than 6 guesses. If you solve it, you'll see a bit of extra information about the term in question. Here are the rules: This is the first culinary-specific word game I've seen. I have to admit, when I got today's answer I was glad to get an explanation; the word is brand-new to me. I'll have to try to work it into conversation around here, or in real life. Anyone else want to play? I got it in 4. It doesn't seem to have a share function and I don't want to show a screen shot, because it will give away the answer. Edited to add: discussion about the answer, on the following day, could also be fun. I'm curious to see who here already knows today's word.

As expected, the wild rice was not a hit "its crunchy". 🙄 no, its chewy. For myself, I made my grandmother's rivels. First time in nearly 15 years. (I've been gluten free for 20 and was anxious about using gf flour.) Was certainly what I needed today, nourishment for the soul indeed. I'm hoping it reheats well with the gf flour, fingers crossed. Not a looker-
