Fusion Cooking, Canning, & Preserving with Patricia Telesco

FUSION COOKING, CANNING AND PRESERVING FORUM
IF YOU FEED THEM THEY WILL COME
Welcome to the Fusion Cooking, Canning and Preserving forum. Everyone is welcome here especially those with a passion for food. Each thread here has a specific focus, so before starting new thread do a quick search to see what we already have (this makes it easier to find food by style, spice, group, etc.)

Fusion cooking blends cultures, eras, and techniques allowing people to really PLAY with their food.

I will post about three new fusion ideas, or recipes and preserving hints a week. Everyone is welcome to join in the fun - if you've found a great technique or flavor combination, please share (remember: put the name of recipes in the subject line for easy site searching)! Also use this space as a resource for your questions and troubleshooting

Brine Bliss — Trish, Tue Feb 3 19:29

I know a lot of people who use brine for a wide variety of recipes. What is your favorite brine blend and how do you use it? Right now I like a honey brine for poultry that a friend shared with me (and I kicked up a bit) and I also like a pulled pork brine with root beer, apple sauce, molasses, beer, brown sugar or... more

the value of pressure canners — Trish, Mon Sep 14 17:10

I really like pressure canners. Without the lid they can still be used for hot water canning or as a huge stock pot, but with the lid they expand the amount of food you can safely can exponentially. For those unfamiliar, pressure cooking kills any nasties in low-acid foods. So if you wanted to can soup with meat in... more

Theme Parties — Trish, Wed Jul 29 15:22

We have a thread for Teen Parties but I thought it would be nice to have a space for discussing fun theme party ideas outside that age group. For example, a Japanese fusion mother-daughter tea party complete with green tea, sushi and dim sum (instead of finger sandwiches).

I have a question. — wondering, Wed Jul 15 07:36
