Did the Internet Kill 'Gourmet' Magazine?
Conde Nast is out to make money. They have no incentive to keep a publication with a nitch audience. The same thing happened to Domino. Quality will survive no matter what the medium, the real issue is that conventional publishing is largely controlled by a few companies who are motivated by the bottom line.
Seriously Asian: The Function of Cornstarch
Can anyone provide guidance on the ratio of cornstarch to liquid? Over the weekend I cooked two dishes that had a cornstrarch-thickened sauce. The first one, a sweet and sour sauce, turned out the perfect thickness. The other sauce was a mushroom ragout and the cornstarch I added didn't seem to thicken it at all. I suspect it was an issue of proportion. Also, is it possible that an ingredient in the sauce kept the cornstarch from coagulating? Thanks in advance :-)

Ugh. This whole subject makes me feel kind of sick. If we need an additional way to gather tax revenue, fine, but don't pretend it has anything to do with public health. Trying to justify this kind of tax as a way of saving us from ourselves is ridiculous. Many factors contribute to obesity. Genetics, stress and mental health issues play just as large of a role as the caloric content of an individual type of food. Politicians and others should be taken to task for trying to pass off this kind of faulty logic on the public.
