Where is the best place online or in person in the US to buy random Torani syrup flavors? The Torani website doesn't seem like a piece of poo poo but I am just wondering since I want like 6 bottles of weird ones.

I love sashimi and smoked salmon (the thinly sliced kind you get from the supermarket or Sam's Club), but everything changes when it gets cooked. I don't know if all of the cooked salmon I've gotten has been done badly or I just don't prefer it. Is there anything I can try that more or less aligns in the way that I like salmon (mostly raw)? I'm still a babby at cooking and usually have it delegated to my SO but I'd like to get better at it.

I've got a sous vide coming in tomorrow if that'll help expand options.

You could do a tartare, carpaccio, or only lightly cook it. You could try tuna steak, which is usually seared on the outside and raw or rare in the middle.

You're allowed to cook salmon rare in any recipe, if that's how you like it.

Hannibal is being cancelled, so I want to make this for a series finale dinner party.

What meat/cut would lend itself well to being smoked, seasoned with thyme and served with a sweet glaze?

(The dish was inspired by a soy glazed braised pork belly recipe, I think the one in the show was built with meatglued pork loins)

Make gravlax. That is goddamned delicious.

And whenever you cook salmon it should never be cooked through more than the rarest of steaks. A small hyperbole, but still, don't cook it all the way.

I like the Gordon Ramsay way of cutting bell peppers. The seed pod stays mostly intact so it doesn't spray everywhere when it's on the cutting board.

"Gently - still maintaining a proper knife grip - press your knife handle into your crotch, and slowly begin to rock your hips back and forth. Start to feed the item you wish to cut into the path of the blade. You are an engine and the knife is your mighty piston. More furious rocking motions will lead to a more finely chopped vegetable."

If you have a thermometer, try to cook your salmon just to 130 degrees. It's loving amazing like that. Overcooked salmon is so disappointing, I am going to guess you've always had it like that. It shouldn't have the texture of canned tuna.

You make the lower cut because the outer layer of the onion makes a really big chunk otherwise.

Hello. I have a cooking date on Monday with someone on a very strict diet. She basically said don't worry about the diet and just make whatever and she'll count it as a cheat day but I view it as an interesting and fun challenge for my culinary skills.

Problem is that I used all my usual recipes that fit last time so I'm fresh out of ideas. Ie, my culinary skills loving suck apparently. She loved my roasted red pepper, sweet potato and coconut soup but the rest of my stalwarts don't fit. I loving LOVE BEANS MAN :negative:

What delicious and impressive foods can I make with the following ingredients:

All non-citrus fruits, all veg (sans tomatoes and regular potatoes), rice or rice noodles, fish (no shellfish), turkey, lamb, venison, herbs and spices, coconut milk, olive oil

No pasta, no bread, no dairy, no beans or lentils, no vinegar, relish, chutneys or soy sauce, other oils.

I can sub in gluten free bread if I have to but I don't wanna because its gross.

That's not really hard at all, make a really good salad or soup, then make awesome fish with really well cooked green vegetables and maybe the lemon rice recipe that everyone keeps gushing about or something. It wouldn't be that much of a pain to cook for this person every day (especially in the summer).

He said the only oil he could use is olive oil and there was a no dairy clause so no ghee, you need something to bloom the spices and brown the meat in and the only option I saw was the olive oil.

Gotcha. Missed where he said the only oil useable was olive oil (weird diet that excludes so many oils) . Spices need to be bloomed and meat browned (not greyed) so it makes sense now. Thanks for the clarification.

Looking for ideas on easy recipes using a whole chicken (broken down or whole). Something I can make and reheat. Lower carb preferred.

I don't have a grill or sous vide setup. Would like to use my cast iron dutch oven, however I did just pickup a roasting pan.

I've been doing coq au vin and a 40 garlic clove recipe which is decent.
