Thank you but it was more about making do as I didn’t have enough chicken stock.

Thank you! Your dumpling and pa jeon dinner looks equally appealing. :yum:

This was my first time making gougeres (deets here on the baking thread). Much easier than I anticipated. Looking forward to making iterations of these in the future.

Whenever making corny things (Risotto, Grits, Puree, Chowder etc…)we always would make a corn stock or infuse another stock with the cobs.
Even with enough Chicken Stock I would have popped the cobs in to steep while it heated for the Risotto.

thank you, that is helpful! Like you, I’ve been intimidated for decades about making my own, now I think I’m going to have to try it. Or make the BF do it - hahaha. :smiley:

Does anyone else find their food gets cold while they set up the photo, or am I too fussy in plating?

Never. You could warm your plates in the oven like restaurants do.

Yes, the food gets cold and the family is done eating before I even start.

Huh?

Depends on what I’m plating. Last night’s tortellini, tomato, spinach pasta dish? Nope. But if it’s something like chicken, mashed potatoes, veg and gravy? Yeah, the chicken might be only warm but not hot. But that’s what the gravy is for.

Nah. But I don’t take magazine layout worthy photos. Just a quick snap and done. I’m hungry …
