CHIEFS

BITCH



Sorry to keep bringing this back to Waffle Chat, but how can I modify Flash Gordon Ramsay's waffle recipe to make apple cinnamon waffles? Or how can I make apple cinnamon pancakes?

I'm craving apple cinnamon stuff right now for some reason.

I want to try making a fermented pepper mash (hot sauce base), and the first step is to put the chiles outside (preferably in the sun) to ripen for a day. I don't get a ton of sunlight in my apartment and don't have a porch outside where I can put the chiles, or even any outdoor space where I could put them that isn't just out on the curb. Next best thing?

I don't know about waffles, I have a feeling the pieces of apple will mess up how they cook?

Panncakes are simple enough though.Take this recipe:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/fluffyamericanpancak_74828

But:

1) Peel, core and dice 1 apple into small bits
2) Follow the recipe to make the batter, but do not add the sugar
3) Take the 2 tbsp sugar from the recipe, mix it with 1 tsp cinnamon powder and toss the apple pieces in it so they're evenly coated.
4) Add the spiced apple to the finished batter, give it a good stir, then cook pancakes as normal

My dad loves baking bread, and I'm looking for a present for his birthday. He likes understanding the theory behind things as well as the practical side, so I thought maybe a book like this would be good:

http://www.amazon.com/Bread-Bible-Rose-Levy-Beranbaum/dp/0393057941

Is this a good choice? Any other suggestions for a sort of "Everything you ever wanted to know about bread!" type book?

My wife and I are having fish today, cod to be precise, but don't quite know what to do with it.

Aside from the fish itself, we have spuds, spinach and capers. Does anyone have any suggestions for a nice sauce we could rustle up to go with this? We don't eat fish very often, we mainly subsist on pasta, but are trying to vary our diet a bit.

Thanks.

Season the fish with some salt and pepper, fry it in some butter, towards the end add some of the capers to the butter and cook it for a couple minutes, spoon some of the butter/caper sauce over the fish, done. Steam the potatoes and serve with some salt and butter. For the spinach maybe a salad, just make a simple vinaigrette and eat it like that. I find that fish does not need a ton of extra flavors, keep it simple and it holds up very well, capers are strong stuff so use them sparingly.

BTW are these salt packed capers or vinegar packed ones? The Vinegar ones are OK, just don't add the vinegar itself to the sauce, the salt ones are salty as hell so you might want to avoid them for this.

Thank you for the tips!

The capers are jarred in vinegar, so we'll have to strain them first. As you say, I know they are very strong so we won't slap the whole jar in.

We have some olive oil we bought in Crete thinking about it, so that could be a winner for the spinach rather than just piling it all into the pan - didn't even think about a salad (which is why we are having to change our diet!).

You can even use the capers in the vinaigrette, though I don't know if you would want to repeat the flavor in two dishes, that might be too much. For the capers I would just use a large spoonful of them, that should be plenty of flavor for the fish since you don't want to overwhelm it. If the butter and caper sauce is too rich it can be cut with some lemon juice, as long as you have some on hand you can taste a little of the sauce and add some lemon at the end if it's too rich for you.

Probably not, I got it when it was in print. I see it as 30 bucks though, the author is Emily Buehler It goes over the biochem in the second chapter, but in a manner you don't need a great background with the subject, then it's more practical regarding the various stages of baking a loaf. I love it as a reference as it's higher level and mostly not recipe specific so it helps me determine how I hosed up to avoid it in the future, but if you're father is already a good baker he probably won't need the practical references.

The heat is more important than the light, if you have a vent or a radiator or something that's a good spot

Peter Reinhart's "The Bread Bakers Apprentice" is a great/classic bread book -- but "Flour Water Salt Yeast" by Ken Forkish might be even better.

Does anyone have a recipe for cereal bar type things? I want to make bars out of steel cut oats to take with me in the car for breakfast. Oats keep me full for a long time and are cheap. I assume I bake them, but I'm not sure how long or at what temperature. I usually put peanut butter, raisins, and agave nectar in the oats, would that translate well to a bar?

This is a good recipe you should be able to use as a basis:

http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/1148640/yummy-golden-syrup-flapjacks

You can add peanuts and raisins easily, and leave out the golden syrup to make the bars harder. I'm not entirely sure what would happen if you used Agave Syrup instead of Brown sugar though.

But yeah, if something slightly healthier/less enormous calory bomb-ish than the 125 grams of butter and 125 grams of brown sugar in that recipe is wanted,
this might be an option as well:

This is definitely a good fallback that a pound or two will probably be used for. Still would be nice to have more recipes though. Shrimp pad thai and etouffe are definitely good options, I never think about putting shrimp in pad thai for some reason.

I recall seeing someone on some public access-esque cooking show say you can use bacon grease in pancakes and waffles, which sounds interesting but I can't find a recipe to tell me how much I should use. So let's say I were to take this recipe, which had some oil already in it. Would anything go wrong if I were to swap some of the oil with an equal part of bacon grease?

It sounds like it could be either amazing or a disaster, but I'm going to go with amazing. I'm assuming you should just substitute the same amount of bacon grease for oil. Off the top of my head, the worst thing that could happen would be that the bacon grease wouldn't have the same consistency as the oil and might not bind the other ingredients as well, or any small bacon bits in the grease might burn. But I think it's certainly worth a try.
