I love a tabbouleh made with quinoa instead of bulgur.

Gluten-Free Rhubarb Pie with Sorghum Crust

Yum. I love rhubarb pie.

Bottled Kimchee Base, how do I use it?

Thanks @chestnutflour, I will give it a try using my bottled kimchee base.

Bottled Kimchee Base, how do I use it?

Ok, well I obviously don't read Japanese either!! So any ideas of how to use it would be great. And, is kimchi something that Japanese make too?

Bottled Kimchee Base, how do I use it?

@SinoSoul, this is it. I have a lot to learn about kimchi. Like, how to spell it for starters.

Sauced: Banana Ketchup

Is it good with fries?

Turnip Recipes, please!

Toss cubed turnips with olive oil and whatever flavoring ingredients you like and roast them in a hot oven until soft on the inside and browned on the outside.

Gluten-Free Tuesday: 4-Ingredient Cranberry Trifle

Looks good. I think I would skip the chocolate and substitute Mi Del gingerbread cookies or Udi's Snickerdoodles. Maybe top it all off with some minced candied ginger.

One Vegetable To Mash

Parsnips!

Indian-style Spiced Carrot Bars (Gajar Ka Halwa)

I imagine that the pan is tough to clean afterwards. Still, it looks intriguing.

Gluten-Free Sweet Potato and Corn Waffles

Looks good. I have just discovered the tasty treat that is sweet potato - corn tortilla chips.

Help On An Anniversary Road Trip In Louisiana

You might check to make sure Middendorf's is open. They were completely flooded by Hurricane Isaac. They announced that they would recover and reopen but I don't know when.

Help On An Anniversary Road Trip In Louisiana

Tony's Seafood for a plate lunch in a styrofoam container. They are in north west Baton Rouge. Not a nice looking neighborhood but easy to get to. They have awesome boudin and, of course, seafood. This is as close to home cooking as you can get. Plus, it's a cultural experience! http://www.tonyseafood.com/ The drive from BR to NOLA is about an hour and fairly boring in my experience. As for NOLA, there have been numerous discussions on SE about places to eat!

Gluten Free

I am not gluten intolerant but have other issues with digesting wheat. Eating "gluten free" means I can avoid wheat. Oh, and there are no decent substitutes for wheat-based baked goods with the exception of corn tortillas. Sorry shmog, you will just need to get used to faux breads and pastas that taste horrible or learn to live without.

7 Places We Love To Get Frozen Treats in New Orleans

I haven't had anything frozen from Sucre, but their candies are out of this world. And the absinthe flavored ice cream at Creole Creamery is stupendous.

New Orleans dining updates

Well, now you've got me thinking. GW Fins is just off of Bourbon, maybe 4 blocks from your hotel; it has excellent seafood, very pricey. Mr. B's Bistro on Royal; I like to go for lunch. Muriel's on Jackson Square for classic New Orleans. Then there are a bunch of other Brennan family restaurants within easy walking distance, e.g. Redfish Grill (just okay, popular for lunch) and Palace Cafe (I haven't been in awhile) are both right on Canal st. Enjoy your stay.

New Orleans dining updates

About 3 or 4 blocks from your hotel is the venerable Bayona, on Dauphine. I was there a year ago and it was excellent.

PIE PIE PIE. Please?

8 Best Non-Pork Dishes at Memphis BBQ Joints

The smoked chicken at Interstate BBQ is also very good. I especially like that our server wouldn't let me order it on a day when it wasn't fresh.

Orange, carrot, ginger. Yum

AHT Giveaway: Case of Pat LaFrieda Burgers

I would invite my daughter's track team over for a cookout.

WHY?!

Uh, the font in the forum(s) is so weird I almost can't read it. Super light and pixilated. I use Chrome.

Memorial Day Grilling Giveaway: Win This Delicious Cap of Ribeye

I love to grill anything and everything: corn on the cob, steaks, oysters, vegetables galore.

Bottled Kimchee Base, how do I use it?

Help me please! I just purchased a small bottle of kimchee base. It is 6.7 ounces and contains garlic, salt, hot pepper, fish sauce, apple, and seaweed. Those are the only English words on the label and I don't read Korean. Can I mix this with cabbage and ferment it to make a traditonal style kimchee? Or do I make more of a quick kimchee with it by mixing it with fresh ingredients? Are there other uses for it beside making kimchee? Maybe I could mix it with something to make a dressing or dip? Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated!

First Supper From New Kitchen?

I've been living without a kitchen for over 5 weeks while we renovate. The end is in sight and I almost feel like I've forgotten how to cook. I'm looking for suggestions for a celebratory, new kitchen supper. I'm a good home cook who is not afraid to try new things. What would you cook to initiate a new kitchen? The only thing I've got on the menu right now is champagne! Thanks in advance for you suggestions.

Edible DIY: Lemon Salt with Fennel and Chili

Edible DIY: Lemon Salt with Fennel and Chili

Growing up, I thought there was only one kind of salt. It came in a navy blue canister with a picture of a girl carrying an umbrella and the slogan, "When it rains, it pours." It wasn't until my early twenties that I discovered a whole world of salts beyond Morton's. And it was a revelation. More
