Ah, ok, haven't tried it but could prob make a nice tirmisu with dark hot cocoa instead of the coffee.
Many years ago I got into the science of cooking, so I enjoy adapting techniques. Sometimes, if one understands the chemistry, then can easily replace ingredients and come up with similar effects.
eg the whole oil-water-acid emulsion technique ;-)
Ah, of course. That one 🤣
I like the sound of "science of cooking". I've grown to learn a lot about different combinations of spices, herbs and flavours without really understanding why some combinations work better than others. (I was disappointed with the cheese & bacon combination 😆.)
Was there any particular book you read or website you learned from? This sounds right up my street 🙂
You did ask...
you probably didn't expect a series from Harvard!
I have some texts and videos picked up from torrents, but would have to dig them out.
I've been experimenting with the range of breads messing with a pizza recipe. lol.
With enough protein can turn pancakes into rubber. haha. honestly, they end up like the texture of Asian rice pancakes. Stuff like that. I think was some BBC series that caught my interest many many years ago - werid stuff like baked Alaskas in reverse, so a hot centre with unmelted icecream on the outside.
Enjoy.
Ha ha, thanks. I'll save that video for later when I have some time to spare 🙂
And no, I certainly didn't expect it to be Harvard!!
I did check for you but suspect the series I recall is way too old to be digitized, but there is a newer series that might be of interest - haven't watched it - just search for "BBC science of cooking".
Maybe I'll do a quick post - some of my spice/herb experiemnts - some tasted great, others were very strange failures! Tasted good in my mind - only!
BBC Bitesize I see. About my level of intelligence. Hopefully.
I'll keep an eye out for your post
I'm 13 minutes through. I hope it livens up a bit 😆
haha - there's a whole channel of stuff isn't there.
How to make cooking really dry and tasteless ;-)
Do you have the book, Science of Cooking? flipping pages is faster than fast forwarding.
