A caller on Milk Street Radio was wondering just that when she recently came to hosts Sara Moulton and Christopher Kimball, perplexed by this sort of culinary shorthand. How should she decode the imprecise measurements she often sees in recipes? To serve, scoop 2 large spoonful’s of the mixture into each lettuce cup, top with curly spring onions and serve with lime wedges. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until cooked but gooey in the middle. Test with a skewer; there should still be a few moist crumbs on the skewer when inserted into the centre of the brownie, or a very slight smear of brown goo, but you don’t want wet batter. Sprinkle over a large pinch of sea salt while the brownie is still hot from the oven. Sometimes, summer lunch is a small event but nonetheless special. If this is an intimate lunch I am happy to make something for just two of us to share – a stir-fry, perhaps, (something I will never consider for a large group) that can be cooked while you chat, the kitchen doors wide open to the sunshine.It’s like Italian grandmothers,” Moulton said. “You can never really get them to tell you what they’re doing."

A recommended resource for those looking to broaden their Asian cooking chops without focusing on a specific cuisine or region. Wipe out the pan and heat 1 tablespoon oil. Add the prawns in a single layer and cook for 1–2 minutes each side, or until they are just cooked through. Remove and set aside on a plate lined with kitchen paper. Stir the chocolate and butter together after 2 minutes; they should have melted together. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and combine with the sugar and salt. Add the green beans along with 1 tablespoon water, the kecap manis, sugar and salt. Cook for another 3 minutes or so, stirring regularly, until the green beans are just cooked through with a crunchy bite.

What a treat it was to get this book. The picture of the author on the cover, is a breath of fresh air, and the illustrations in the book are mouthwatering invitations to food. Preparing these recipes will be fun, not work! From the first recipe for Tom Yum Bloody Mary to the glossary at the end, the book leaves no stone unturned.Kimball remembered asking the same question during a French cooking lesson. “I almost got thrown out of the class!” he recalled. “I guess because no one wanted to answer it.” This cookbook has the worst structure I have ever encountered. Bizarrely, the ingredients list rarely comes at the beginning of a recipe, but things get worse. For example, this is the sequence for Kimchee Pancakes with Sriracha Bacon: first an introduction (there is one for each recipe), then a list of ingredients for the bacon, then instructions for mixing a dipping sauce, instructions for mixing the pancakes, how to make it vegan (omit bacon and eggs), cooking time, ingredients for the dipping sauce, ingredients for the pancakes, instructions for cooking the pancakes, instructions for cooking the bacon, instructions for cooking eggs (note that the eggs are listed with the pancake ingredients, so it looks like they are part of the batter), assembly instructions. Who has the patience to try to cook from that? Maybe read this book for the descriptions, and then if anything really appeals to you write out the recipe yourself. I like how you can choose how long the cooking time you have for many of the recipes and that some only require a kettle: that would be perfect for university students in residence trying to save money on a food plan. (I know of big eaters that have gone through their entire food plan’s money in a month and still have a long way to go to December…when it’s a card that you swipe, it doesn’t seem like real money until the account is empty and they show up at our library food bank!) Who doesn’t love a biscuit? The flavour of these is delicious but not too strong and the mixture com… Have fun, take risks, enjoy your food, and enhance whenever you can with vibrant flavors from Asian menus … A fun, colorful option for those who love experimenting with bold flavors.

Swirl the ingredients in the pan together, rather than stirring them. Once the sugar has dissolved and the caramel starts bubbling, continue cooking on a gentle simmer until it begins to bubble and foam, about 3–5 minutes in total.Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan and set up the middle shelf for baking. Roast the macadamia nuts for 6–8 minutes, or until golden brown, then remove and set aside.
