Greetings, today I had the most amazing soup for a cold and I am trying to find a recipe. It was just called "thai noodle soup". I think it might have been tom yam but I'm not sure. It had a clear, orange broth, angel hair noodles, cilantro, chicken and bean sprouts. The flavour was sour and spicy. I don't know if the sourness was from lemon or tamarind. All the tom yam recipes I found used kaffir lime leaves and shrimp instead of chicken. Does anyone have a name or recipe?
Thank you :D

Hi, my class is hosting a large party for the children at an orphanage who have had a birthday this month. I am part of the food committee and I need to bring something healthy to balance all the snack food. Do you have any healthy snack ideas that I could bring for a party of over 50 kids? And I want to avoid any common allergens like peanuts. I was thinking vegetable sticks with dips, so ideas or actual recipes would really help. Thank you! Cheers

Lately, I have been making many chocolates filled with a flavoured fondant filling. I want to experiment with jelly fillings after dipping a lychee jelly into some tempered chocolate. It was delicious but the chocolate didn't solidify even though it was properly tempered. I don't have access to any gelatin where I live so the jelly I used was an agar-agar and konjac blend. Does anyone know how I can get the chocolate to stick to the jelly while still maintaining the flavour and texture? Any recipes or tips?
Thank you and cheers!

I was making mango pate de fruits for a project, using homemade pectin, and it is not solidifying. I made the pectin from apples and it gelled when it was added to rubbing alcohol. The pate de fruits was made using this recipe.
Should I melt it and add more pectin? How should I go about doing that?

I want to make candies like gummies and pate de fruit which require gelatin (not agar-agar) and pectin but I can't find either in the supermarkets. Does anybody have a recipe for either of these that do not require pectin or gelatin? Does anybody where I can get pectin or gelatin in Jakarta Selatan?

Cheers

For English my class is doing an Independent Study and I chose to do mine on candy making. To start of I want to do something simple such as rock candy. Because my kitchen is very humid and easily gets ants I don't want to leave an open jar of sugar syrup on the counter. Is there a way to make rock candy in the fridge? Does anybody have a recipe for an easy candy such as lollipops, brittle, taffy or chocolate?
Cheers!

For new years I'm going to be cooking lamb (probably rack) I was also thinking about serving risotto along with the lamb because I still have alot of the rice. What kind of risotto should I cook to go with the lamb? Maybe something garlicky?

I recently bought a box of grape-nuts cereal but I didn't really like them. I don't want to let the rest of the cereal go to waste so are there any recipes, such as bars, that I could use them in?

Lately I have been craving waffles (who doesnt) and have been convincing my mom to buy a waffle maker. But my mom wants to get a jaffle maker (A press that makes triangle shaped sandwiches). One of my friends sometimes makes sandwiches in his stroopwafel iron so I would like to know if I can make sandwiches in a waffle iron so that we can save money.
