    Here we go. The flood of tomatos

    I've made over 6 lbs of frozen sauce base so far (just simmered reduced tomatoes ready for use or further reduction in the future). No spices etc added and not even processed; seeds and skin still in. A note on cooking tomatoes for sauce: the seeds contain far more flavors than the tomato meat...

    Easiest shrim grilling tip

    Hi, I love grilled shrimp and they have to be perfectly cooked, no 30 seconds too long. Remember, if the shrimp look cooked on the first down side in 3 minutes, the other side will take maybe only 1+ minute. I use an old cheap hamburger cage. I can put many shrimp in it and flip them all at...

    Nice forum, thanks for letting me join

    I study cooking more than I cook. However, I've found that understanding the science of cooking has helped me greatly. I also remember different sources and recipes so I can study and figure out how i want to make something. I have over 500 recipes saved and searchable on my computer, complete...
