#saltfatacidheat — Public Fediverse posts

@wauz Open to suggestions! One of my cooking show documentaries was the companion series to #SaminNosrat's #SaltFatAcidHeat!

So, not too long ago, someone here on Mastodon (I've forgotten who) suggested I pick up a copy of #SaminNosrat's #SaltFatAcidHeat. It is NOT a vegetarian cookbook, but it does have some veggie recipes that I'm planning on trying out (and sharing with folks here). I watched the TV series on Netflix (CW - lots of images of meat on the episodes), but I learned how to make salt from salt-water, learned about cold spots in the oven, saw how traditional tamari is made in Japan, and how microflora in the soil affects the taste of olive oil! And lots about the chemistry and science behind cooking! Some good stuff!

For what it's worth the process is rather simple if you have a frothing wand.

One egg yolk
¾ cup oil
Start whisking the egg yolk and add oil a drop at a time until the emulsion comes together, then add oil faster.

Thanks to #SaminNosrat and #SaltFatAcidHeat for the recipe, heh.
