If you find that your roast potatoes are not crispy enough, it could be that you are using the wrong kind of potato. Over here we get ones sold as "chips potatoes". Those are the ones. It could also be that your potatoes were not cooled down completely b4 being placed in the oil.

Happy Homemade Bread Day! The reason I started baking my own bread, is bc I read the ingredients on a commercially bought packet of bread one day and asked myself: How can bread have 38 ingredients? That's not bread. Bread has 3 ingredients: flour, water, salt. #sourdough #bread

When I was a small boy, my dad used to roast a chicken every Sunday. All 4 of us would eat our fill and then there was still enough left over for late evening sandwiches. Today, my partner and I can finish an entire chicken in one sitting. Are chickens getting smaller? 🤔#chicken

Stew secret: Add soya sauce to your pot gravy (fried onion&garlic, Worcester sauce, vinegar, pepper and carrots). Fry meat until sealed properly, cover with sauce and slowly simmer on medium heat. Meat must stay covered in liquid. Be patient - meat must be soft and tender. #meat

I believe meat should be tenderized in naturally occurring acids like those in citrus fruits. As an experiment, I tenderized and marinated pork chops in orange juice to help caramelize the fat and tenderize the chops while keeping them juicy. Worked a treat! #pork #cookingtips
