Cooking Issues blog
Sunday, January 31st, 2010
My not-so-new but favourite blog is Cooking Issues, which is the French Culinary Institute‘s tech blog.
Some interesting articles to start with:
- pressure cooking
- liquid nitrogen (looks like I won’t be using this then)
- rotovap
- and finally .. drinking shots
Royce potato chip chocolate original
Sunday, November 15th, 2009
Take a crinkle-cut crisp, and cover it with dark chocolate. The simple concept behind Royce’ Potato Chip Chocolate Original (note: apostrophe in the wrong place), or as they say “By breaking down old customs and producing consistently original items, we are pursuing a new level in chocolate enjoyment.”
Quite tasty too — better photos on this blog.
Also comes in a keitai strap version!
Thanks Aya!

Another garden snail cook
Saturday, July 5th, 2008GingerNinja has turned up in my inbound links, recycling garden snails as food. Now that’s what we like to see! … and eat …
Unfortunately all the snails in this house are being eaten by our song thrush, faster than I can collect them.
Happy? 2nd anniversary
Wednesday, May 21st, 2008Cooking With Richard blog is two years old today.
As is customary, I have updated the “best of” list, so click here to read my picks from the last year.
Although this is a happy anniversary for the blog, it’s not such a happy time for us. Our house is like a building site at the moment — we barely have a working toilet, no shower, the kitchen has a big hole in the ceiling, and the builders are a bunch of cowboys. We are powerless to do anything about this — any thought at a Labour government might, you know, strengthen laws for tenants have turned out to be laughable (in fact, who will pass these necessary laws? certainly not the Tories).
Blair be gone
Wednesday, June 27th, 2007Hard to believe that 10 years ago we were happy to get rid of a spent and morally bankrupt government ……
… oh wait …
Thanks for RIPA, policy laundering, data retention (previously), section 44, collaboration with that oh so “special” relationship, indefinite detention without trial, ignorance and stupidity, bribes, …

Hello BoingBoing readers
Wednesday, January 3rd, 2007I just noticed that Cory’s obviously working through his backlog over at BoingBoing, and he’s picked up my story about the first ever lightgun game (a variation of Duck Hunt). Ah PageRank, how much do I love thee?
