Southern fried chicken can be easily ranked as one of the best foods I have ever eaten. Unfortunately, it can also be ranked as one of the worst. It’s not like there is a lack of fried chicken to try–after all, I do live in the South–but because the preparations and recipes all to often [...]

I’ve covered several chocolate chip cookie types so far and thought that now would be a good time to review how to tweak the ingredients of cookies to make different styles. The first cookie recipe we tried, the Nestle Tollhouse cookie, was a good start, and it got even better with a bit of tweaking. [...] These cookies are the third and final chocolate chip cookie by Alton Brown. The first two were the chewy and the thin. I’m going to talk cookies again. No complaints? Good. Let’s forge onward.

Though I ate those for many years I was never completely satisfied. I always thought that, with a bit of tinkering, the recipe could be altered to produce a better cookie. The problem was that I didn’t [...] Meatloaf is a brand new experience for me. It was never a dish that my parents made at home, and I ordered it only once before in a restaurant. There was just something unappealing about putting ground meat in a loaf pan and letting it cook in its own grease. The fact that I was [...] There are so many variations and so many “right” ways to make chili that I have all but given up on being authentic. I’ve made chili with beans, I’ve made chili without beans, I’ve added pineapples, I’ve added chocolate, I’ve even added root vegetables like carrots to it. I’ve used different cuts and different kinds [...]
