Name this 90's food product that was taken off the market?

Monday, May 2nd, 2011

Can’t remember the name of the product (of course)

All I remember is the commercial advertising it had two old ladies (no more than early 60 between each other) in a kitchen setting. It was an easy cook package that contained chicken, seasoned rice, & sauce.. it also got banned within a small frame of time it was advertised?

Any know what I’m talking about?

Thank you in advance. (Sorry I can’t give you anymore info, that’s all I remember about it)

Vegan/Raw culinary programs?

Monday, April 25th, 2011

I’ve been searching for vegan/vegetarian culinary programs and the Natural Gourmet in NY is one of two (the other being the Natural Epicurean) that I’ve found that specialize in plant based foods. However, I did notice that both institutes do use dairy and poultry (and even organic red meat). While I’m sure both offer great techniques and well-rounded information, I am very much interested in vegan, organic, raw. Outside of a four week program at 105 Degrees in Oklahoma City, have not found any other culinary institute that specializes in what I’m seeking.

Anybody happen to have any suggestions or insight in my pursuit of art in vegan/raw culinary? Or are the Natural Gourmet & the Natural Epicurean as close as it gets? I really struggle with the thought of paying good money to learn how to perfect baking (or cooking) with sugar and eggs, etc in a commercial kitchen. But maybe that’s the compromise to get the training and exposure I’m seeking.

Any thoughts you may have is greatly appreciated.

making pie crust?

Thursday, April 21st, 2011

my recipe calls for a food processor to combine flour & butter/shortning together. I don’t own one. Can I use a mixer or should I hand mix? If hand mix, how?

Can i use a blender instead?

Saturday, April 16th, 2011

I’m cooking a cake for a get together. And I’m making a No-Bake blueberry cheesecake.
the recipe says, "For Crust, Place zwieback Toasts & butter in food processor.Cover; pulse until coarse crumbs form. pat thin layer of crumbs onto bottom of 9-inch spring form pan."
Is itt alright if i use blender or something else instead?!?!?!

What's better – a food processor, a chopper, or a blender?

Friday, April 15th, 2011

I’m doing a wedding registry, and I’m not sure what would be better for me – a food processor, a chopper, or a blender? i thought a food processor since it can do what a blender can do except a blender does liquids. If there’s one that can do everything then that’ll be better…costs less and less appliances.
if i do a food processor – do i need a 7 cup or a 12 cup?
if i do a blender – how many speeds do i need?
my mom used a chopper – wonderful little thing, but we also had a blender

if a blender does the same thing as a food processor then why not a chopper & blender? i could do all 3, but i already have a kitchenaid mixer on the registry haha

My husband has had dental work. Soft food recipes?

Thursday, March 10th, 2011

He had teeth pulled & got dentures. He is having trouble eating. I have made him mashed potatoes, spaghetti,(using finely ground meat from processor) Gravy & biscuits, which I THOUGHT would be soft enough, but, he had a hard time chewing the biscuits. I have given him soup, but, it has to be broth, just about. Is there anybody that has some recipes for some soft food that don’t require a lot of chewing?
