Love Song to a Hand Blender

My Braun has been a faithful friend for years. Nothing better for making vats of soup in the winter!

What food and/or wine related print magazines do you read?

I have an on-off relationship with Gourmet. Sometimes I love it. Sometimes I find the 3-1 ratio of adverts to actual content really frustrating! From a UK perspective the Food Monthly in Sunday's Observer newspaper is a must!

Scotch Egg

Ah, Scotch Eggs... At the heart of any British picnic, huddled together for warmth on a tartan travelling rug, around a hamper.

What's for dinner on Easter? Are you cooking?

Going out for big family meal to the Sheraton in Edinburgh. They do a great buffet and, if the kids can take a break from stuffing themselves with chocolate eggs, there's a magician too!

What would be your favorite items to find on a Brunch menu?

What I've just had. A buttered baguette with wiltshire ham, emmenthal and cornichons. Classic...

Question of the Day: What's your earliest food-related memory?

Good Scots food like mince and potatoes. Oh, and my Grandma's Scotch Broth which, because I was so picky, she patiently fed me without any vegetables or barley. Just sweet, nourishing soup...

Yeah. It's a pretty intense burger. A sentimental favorite—it and I were both born in Milwaukee—but not an actual favorite.

Cannot reconcile desire to eat burger with...desire to avoid heart attacks...

What's your favorite kitchen sound?

The sound of the dishwasher, followed by the pop of a wine bottle opening. That means the kitchen is clean and we're ready to go outside and relax on the deck by the lake.

What's your favorite kitchen sound?

I love the sound of ice tinkering in a glass, the sound sauce makes as you pour it over a hot stir fry, and the perfect sound of a really sharp knife chopping vegetables on an old wooden chopping block.

What's your favorite kitchen sound?

thanks to PETA, i can now hear live crawfish screaming as they are dropped into boiling seasoned water. when the potatoes, corn and mushrooms join in, it is a wonderful sound.

From Talk

What's your favorite kitchen sound?

I agree with Livingtoeat: The soft bubbling of a pasta sauce that's been simmering all day.

From Talk

What's your favorite kitchen sound?

Onions sizzling in a pan. The sound as they first hit the hot oil--wow! Of course, it could be the smell that aids the sense of hearing. ANything sizzling sounds good to me--such a great onomatopoetic word!

From Talk

What's your favorite kitchen sound?

As Julia put it, the "quiet cooking noises" of a roasting chicken. Also, the squeaky mushrooms in the skillet, as L'Ecole mentioned. And the gurgle and hiss of the coffee maker when the coffee's just about done.

From Talk

What's your favorite kitchen sound?

That pop, squeal then sizzle when one of my homemade sausages bursts slightly on the grill.

From Talk

What's your favorite kitchen sound?

not a cooking sound but the first crunchy bite of a crispy apple... and anything in the kitchenaid b/c anything im making in there is going to be good.
