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. [...]

Glad to be back after a school related lapse. I will be continuing my trek through the Good Eats episodes with scrambled eggs from the first Egg Files episode.

The problem was that I didn’t [...] (This post is part of a guest article by Erica. See the Scallops in Orange Butter (Escalopes au beurre a l’orange) post for details about her and a recipe that applies these techniques. -William) Until recently, I had never made a souffle. Actually, I had never eaten one either. Souffles are infamous for being a difficult dish to make.
