Egg white raft method seems like the obvious choice.

My concern there is that it will make the drink cloudy when citrus is added. I haven’t ever been able to completely remove the egg white.

I think I’ll try it if the freezing doesn’t work.

I would suggest you should just eat some, on a peppery biscuit, with a bit of pickled walnut and a glass of port. As long as the thought doesn’t make you feel physically ill, just keep at it and you’ll like it.

I taught myself to like coffee just by deciding I needed to like it and drinking a cup every day even though I didn’t like it, until I did.

Let’s all mock poor Scottish people for cooking something hearty and warming, lol who doesn’t have time after slaving away on the moors all day to brown their meat and use paprika?

Not to say the recipe couldn’t be improved, but when you’ve been outdoors in loving Scotland all day, you care more that your food is hot and filling than anything else. I’ve had stovies just like that quite a few times, and I’ve enjoyed them every time because I’ve been knackered and frozen and they’ve filled/warmed me up.

Rather than starting by blending up a bunch of weird poo poo (cauliflower? Really?) Why don't you start with a smoothie that you enjoy drinking and slowly add more nutritious ingredients? As long as you don't go apeshit with sweeteners eating whole fruits and vegetables is still better than a drive thru meal.

This is actually great advice. Start with something that’s pretty good, and add some kaons greenery. Once you think it’s just as good, add a bit more. Keep going, gradually adding until you have tricked your tastebuds into thinking it’s the same as the carrot/apple/beetroot smoothie you started with.

You’ll be drinking bright green leaf juice in no time!

smoking in my pizza oven

Sorry, maybe a stupid question, but what is the source of your fire? If it’s wood or coals, you could try letting it die down before you start the smoking process: I’ve had some success smoking things on my barbecue with charcoal, and it’s not large enough that I can put in a water barrier, so I just bank the coals and let them burn for a while, then put the soaked chip on top in foil trays, which creates enough smoke to smoke things, but not so much what that everything dries out...

Can you overdo spices in a marinade?

Yes you can, I have gone overboard with marinades in the past where I have had more spices than meat/vegetables and it’s just been a bit unpalatable

1tsp cumin, and the rest were all like 1/2 a tsp or less

But you don’t have anything to worry about with such small quantities

I generally just chuck in whatever spices I fancy and it usually turns out OK. My wife says I use too much cumin, but she’s wrong: I use exactly the right amount of cumin every time.

maybe 1/3 of the stuff in there is actually distinguishable in the marinade and you can pare it down pretty quick

I’m not sure I agree with this, I think you get a lot of depth from lots of different spices, and they all bring something to the party

1. I’ve become a big fan of making limoncello and other citrus infused vodka liqueurs...

2. My wife really likes amaretto.

These two facts have led me to the idea that I might try to make a batch of amaretto, but all of the recipes I can find online suggest mixing vodka and almond extract, which strikes me as not quite the thing. Has anyone got any ideas how I can take almond and vodka and get amaretto?

Here is a really interesting article about why Hershey’s tastes like sick.

In essence, it’s to do with milk preservation and getting it into GI’s field rations during the war.

It most definitely isn’t faint: anyone I’ve ever met who isn’t American tastes it instantly and hates it. I think Americans are just really used to it, to the point where some prefer it to the taste of what people in Europe say is the superior product.

I have a recipe that calls for a mango/jalapeno chutney. What would be a good replacement for the mango? First thing that came to mind for me was peaches but good luck getting good ones this time of year.

It’s not raw mango, it’s mango chutney. Depending on location, you should be able to pick this up in the supermarket.

Yes. I like to roast them with cumin and thyme.

I made a particular good soup out of a random selection of gourds and squashes I got from the community farm the other day.

My mother is coming to visit on Sunday, and on a whim I swapped the chicken I had in my shopping trolley for a duck.

I want to roast it and have it with the usual winter vegetables, but has anyone got any protips for how to get the best out of it?

Use your fingers to separate the skin from the breasts, cover the whole bird in streaky bacon, roast on a bed of large dice mirepoix, roast at 180 for about an hour and a half for a normal sized chicken.

Put the bacon in a bowl for your guests to add to their plates as they see fit, let the chicken rest for twenty minutes while you make gravy with the juices and mirepoix.
