  2. "On the eve of #Shavuot, a fascinating document recently acquired by the National Library offers a glimpse at some of the earliest #cheesecakes documented in #culinary #literature. It is a rare copy of what is believed to be the first #kosher #cookbook ever published.

    The #book, published in 1846, is titled The #Jewish Manual of Modern #Cookery, With a Collection of Valuable #Recipes & Hints Relating to the Toilette. It was written in English and published anonymously under the credit “A Lady.”

    Although there is no conclusive proof, researchers attribute the book to Lady #JudithMontefiore for several reasons..."

  7. Made a macaroni tuna meal yesterday and I had a stale corner of bread I made earlier in the week which I grated and put on top of the dish then added sliced tomato and sliced pickled jalapeno then a layer of cheese before putting it in the over and can confirm that it was superb and I will make it that way again, maybe for all casserole type dishes, also got my cheese sauce on point with bay leaves and mustard, three cheeses, butter and milk and herbes de provence. #cookery

  8. I’m addicted to foodie TikTok. Can Julia Child teach me ‘real’ cooking?

    On Christmas Eve, I spent 15 hours cooking a potato. It wasn’t the only thing I did: I went to a carol service, watched Wallace and Gromit, and risked life and limb to retrieve late present…

  12. My wife is making a stew from a #NigellaLawson recipe book. I chose the recipe, but I didn’t read it that closely.
    The recipe makes 8 servings, but calls for an entire bottle of white wine, and 2.5 kg of lamb. At today’s prices that’s about £75 just for the two ingredients.
    Also the way the book is laid out is terrible, and the recipe takes 3 days to cook.

  17. Whats the Italian 🇮🇹 term for #pasta cooked in sauce, rather than water?

    The Yanks call it "one-pot pasta", which feels crude. I want poetry.

    Today, I was ahead of schedule, so I decided to take the extra time needed to cook the pasta in sauce. Instead of reducing the sauce, add liquid. Mix in the pasta, and cook slowly. After 30 mins, fhe result is pasta full of flavour.

    Is the technique banned in Italy, like onion & garlic together?

    Or is there a vowel-lsden word, full of A I O?

  22. Most-often when a toaster has a 'cancel' button it's simply labelled 'cancel', 'stop', or with a cross. But this week, I discovered a toaster that uses the 'eject' icon - like you'd find on a VHS tape recorder - on its button.

    At first I thought this was an unusual user interface choice, but I'm coming around to it. It feels like a more-accurate and skeuomorphic representation of what actually happens than a cross suggests.

    But the existence of toasters like this one does necessarily mean that, some day, some Gen Alpha will see a tape deck in, like, a museum or something, and will say 'hey, that's cute: the button you press to pop the tape out is the same as the one you use to pop your toast out'.

  27. CW: Food

    Wanted a quesadilla. Didn't have any tortillas, so substituted chapattis.

    It went... only okay. The earthiness of the chapatti pairs with mature cheese less-well than the cornflour-sweetness of a tortilla does.

    I tried it, so you don't have to!
