Guinness Chips

17 March 2014 By Randal Oulton Leave a Comment

Guinness Chips Crisps

  Chips (aka crisps in the UK and Ireland) are really unhealthy. You know what that means. That means, when you do them, you gotta do them right, see? Which means the chips have to be worth it. And Lord liftin’, these be worth it. These Guinness Potato Chips are hand-crafted; each bag even indicates…

Skinny French Bread (Pain Epi / Wheat stalk bread)

10 March 2014 By Randal Oulton 3 Comments

This crispy bread is delicious and dead easy to make.  You let the bread machine mix up a batch of dough, and store the dough for up to 14 days in the fridge in a sealed plastic container. Then, on the days when you want some bread, you cut off a small portion of the…

Two-level microwave oven cooking

Two level microwave cooking

Over the years, I had found myself staring at the empty vertical space inside a microwave oven, and often wishing that somehow a second dish or plate could be making use of that wasted upper space… say, oatmeal happening below while bacon is cooking above. Or, heating up two plates of food at once. I’d…

Hunting for a new microwave

05 March 2014 By Randal Oulton Leave a Comment

choosing-a-microwave-oven

  The most recent microwave oven died two weeks ago. That officially made it three microwaves that I’ve gone through. Microwave No. (1), was a hand-me-down in the early 1990s. It was a big ole Panasonic dating from the mid 1980s — somewhere between 1.6 and 2 ish cubic feet (45 to 56 L), I’d…

Maggi

Maggi

  My new favourite best friend in the kitchen as of 2013 is Maggi. I had researched it and experimented with it briefly back in 2010 when I was writing my article on Maggi for cooksinfo.com, but after that the bottle languished on a cool shelf in the basement pantry. We get into such ruts…

Coconut Milk Instant Powder

Coconut Milk Powder

  As a cook, there’s four things about coconut milk. Makes a fabulous base for gorgeous curries and other sauces; Can be more fattening than double cream; You never have it around when you want it; There’s always an opened half-can of it way past best-by at the back of the fridge that you didn’t…

Weight Watchers Hot Chocolate

25 January 2014 By Randal Oulton Leave a Comment

Weight Watchers Hot Chocolate

  Weight Watchers ®Hot Chocolate drink is definitely one of this winter’s top finds for me. It is probably the best instant hot chocolate drink mix I’ve tasted, ever. The combination of a rich, thick texture and dark chocolate taste makes it like drinking a melted chocolate bar. Tasting sugar rather than chocolate has always…

Pressure Cooking Convert

Nutricook Pressure Cookers

  By the standards of the rest of the world, I’m very late to the pressure cooking party. By North American standards, the party ain’t even started yet. Prior to the Second World War, pressure cooking had a full head of steam in gaining popularity in North America. Production of the pots had to be…

Weight Watchers Jams

Weight Watchers Jams

  I’m not the world’s biggest jam eater, but I have always loved my marmalade (which is not jam, of course, harumph), and a dollop of jam on top a bowl of yoghurt turns it into a dessert. I also often reach for a pot of jam when I need to bake something in a…

Marks & Sparks Shortbread

28 December 2013 By Randal Oulton 5 Comments

Marks & Spencer Shortbread

Christmas 2013 is the second Christmas I’ve enjoyed these shortbreads from Marks & Spencer.  They are hands down perhaps the best shortbread I’ve had. Not sweet at all, really rich and buttery, and with that perfect crumbly, “sandy” texture that good shortbread must have. (Not sure exactly what shortbread is? ) You’ll notice I’ve been…
