It has recipes of old traditional Spanish cooking from Spain.

@DP: Agreed. We need more food topic here. :D

What kind of food do you cook, then?

I like to cook almost anything. Except organs, liver, heart, kidneys, tounge, gizzards, pairie oysters(um, reproductive thingys).

I like to cook pork, fish , beef, poltry of all kinds, lamb, goat, deer, elk, bear, gator, and a few others. All veggies too.

How about you?

I don't deal with organs either. And I don't do that many different meats. :D

I cook more or less anything, as long as I have a good recipe (not too complicated one), and my Japanese cooking knife. :)

The only thing I have problems with is sushi. I don't have the patience with the rice. I can do everything else, but the rice. :(

@Waverly: I don't make "steak and kidney pie", for example. ;)

What exactly the problem?

Getting it to cool right.

I see... That is difficult, though we don't really worried about. It only needs to be manageable, really.

Spread rice when you mix sushi vineger, and use paper fan if necessary.

Oh okay, I'll have to try that next time.
Thank you. ;)

Your welcome. :)

We have large but shallow wooden tray like thing for mixing suchi rice. It will take excess moisture, as well as smells nice. :)

I used a large metal bowl. Maybe that's the problem.

DP, use something shallower. I think that is the point. :)

And maybe non metal, because vinegar is acid and may cause creating kind of metalic taste. I'm not sure about this, though.

Got it, I have a list. What cooking things, I need to buy. :D

Good luck, DP. :D

I think we should create a "cooking Q&A" topic. There are many nationalities in this forum. :D
