I need another kitchen appliance like i need a hole in my head but that sumeet multi grinder looks pretty 😻

Amora is pretty great & I love Savora in place of yellow mustard! discovered it at FTG (Franchise to Go) in Paris years ago and have kept it in my pantry ever since

I don't know that it will help with crunch but it should help with browning, it works great on fish to be grilled keeping more non stick than just oil -Grilling? Don’t hold the mayo! https://enewspaper.latimes.com/infinity/article_popover_share.aspx?guid=c6c92b0d-12ac-49b9-9c01-d3aeb5ec2c0f

aaah, funny it comes up but one of the farmers at the Santa Monica Farmer's Market (Wednesday) has Christmas Lima beans!

It's used in every facet of cooking from Chocolate drinks to sauces like mole (often in braised dishes), to sweets

When it is used, in Mexican cuisine the flavor is pretty bold and upfront. It would taste very wrong with a different cinnamon!

Stupid question maybe but have you tried Restaurant Depot in Austin? At least locally they carry Guittard, couldn't hurt to check if they could get it for you.

Yes, you can set your language to English. I'll post the link to shipping info below but it get's delivered through Amazon shipping even from Japan. Not everything can be sent over but I've never had an issue, you'll know on the check out page https://www.amazon.co.jp/-/en/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=GR9MVEYZCCX4F53G

Yen 149 to 1 US dollar that's stronger than usual (good time to buy)

I've ordered from Amazon Japan before with out any issues. You'll have to filter through lot's of results though! Good luck https://www.amazon.co.jp/s?k=hasegawa+cutting+board&crid=2T92BNN6RIRDC&sprefix=hasegawa%2Caps%2C127&ref=nb_sb_ss_ts-doa-p_1_8

Love your menu! That is VERY Spanish, you hardly ever see Russian Salad outside of spain

So how did Tapas Night come off?!

I've smoked sugar for a marshmallow fluff which went on a dessert that was a take on a s'more

Fair enough, I wouldn't plan a menu like that in the first place because I'm not a fan of steak cooked that way. But I do get it's convenient for dinner parties, certainly not denying that!

Except if I'm doing a bunch of steaks of varying size, then SV makes it easy and lets me have more time to be a host. I think that's pretty much what I said as the exception

I pretty much agree and I vacuum seal much more often than I cook sous vide. I'm never going to do a steak that way but I'm glad I have my set up it's great for braising as an example as well as for 'catering' small dinner parties or holidays it can free up the stove (and you)

With 300, the more expensive the less likely to spit I would think. Sounds like a great experience!

Personally I love this shape and find it very practical for most things. My only regret is not getting 1 or 2 more sizes. Ordering from Paris was easy btw for anyone tempted to do it.

Here are mine btw and my selfie. I call it -the artist as a middle aged man.

It is pretty quite for people that collect the Chefy books recently. Have you looked into the Ferran Adria books? It's sold out but I really am interested in this one. https://elbullifoundation.com/elbullistore/en/product/nikkei-japanese-and-peruvian-cuisine-in-dialogue/ There are also fantastic cookbooks coming out of Spain if you haven't explored yet. Check out the publisher Montagud https://www.libreriagastronomica.com/libros-cocina

I love them! and got mine from https://www.edehillerin.fr/en/flat-bottom-bowl/1263-bassine-fond-plat-inox.html

More than a little late on this thread but I recently picked this up at eataly and remembered this post

I love the Italia Squisita videos! https://www.youtube.com/user/italiasquisita

Great question! These two come to mind, Clifford A Wright's not a Chef but it is a well researched tome! In addition, the Keller Per Se book, Let's eat France is a fantastic coffee table book I refer to it often and it rarely lives on the bookshelf. Oh, if you are good with French anything that Chihiro Masui co-authors will be fantastic

How was it! (yours looks better than many of the pictures of it I've seen online)
