Cooking

Tag details

Cooking is the process by which raw ingredients are combined to produce a finished dish for human consumption. This is typically achieved by the application of heat (such as baking, frying, or roasting), but can include the specialised preparation of raw ingredients, such as raw fish (to produce sashimi).

Cooking
can rely on the use of printed recipes but written instructions are not essential: experience and a good knowledge of cooking processes and preparation techniques as well as flavour combinations can render strict adherence to a printed recipe unnecessary.

Many blogs that are about cooking will include recipes and ideas for flavour combinations as well as 'how-to' resources that may include videos and podcasts, and book reviews. Blogs often include stunning photographs of finished dishes, which has led to the use of the term 'food porn'. Many cooking blogs participate in 'blog events' where a group of bloggers will all cook the same dish (or similarly themed dishes) in order to share ideas or extend technical skills. Blogs about cooking may focus on one type of food (such as cupcakes), or recipes from one chef, but it is more common for cooking blogs to cover a wider range of food related topics.

    BlogHer - Health & WellnessAuthority Authority: 145
    So you are probably wondering…..do the beverages I drink really make that much of a difference? They are only liquids, right? Liquids “go right through me” so how much of an ill effect can they have? You have probably heard the old saying “You are what you eat?”  Well, it is true, but “You are what you ...

  • The kitchen gods were not with me


    Cooking Junkies ForumsAuthority Authority: 164
    Probably the worst meal Ive ever prepared. The first clue - Ive never made a bad pie. This morning I managed to charcoal the top crust. At least the turkey was pretty good - moist flesh, crispy skin. Intentionally slightly undercooked, since most of it is planned for re- use anyway. Still managed to make a ...
