I am trying to develop a diverse menu for my family. Being from the south, I learned everything I know about cooking from my grandmother and mother. As my family grows, I want them to enjoy many different types of cuisine.

  • Location: Hermitage, TN
  • Favorite foods: I like to eat Indian and Chinese cuisines, but currently cook southern homestyle exclusively.
  • Last bite on earth: While I have not yet perfected my favorite cuisine, I would have to say a spicy vegetable masala with spiced basmati rice.

Unsalted v Salted Butter

I am attempting to be a better baker and cannot figure out why some cookie recipes call for unsalted butter, while others do not specify. I can tell a difference in the batches, but decided to just use shortening until I can figure out the difference. Can anyone explain the difference between the two butters and their affect on baked goods?
