Overheard on the Home Cooking Board

"A few years ago, to offer a contrast to all the 'usual suspects' of heavy side dishes that normally accompany our turkey feast, I decided to do a quick stir-fry of sugar snap peas, button mushrooms, and a little garlic. Just prior to serving I tossed in some lemon zest and a spritz of soy sauce. I've been making this ever since as it was a huge hit. Good news for me, it's quick and easy as well." – Breadcrumbs

"The past couple of years, I've made pumpkin sticky puddings with caramel sauce and everybody loves them. Do use Lyle's Golden Syrup, if you can find it. It's SO much better than the alternatives." – onrushpam, on this recipe

"Even though I do accept the premise that different salt varieties can excite the taste buds in subtly different ways when used in raw form as a finishing seasoning and not in solution, I hold firm to my conviction that once salt is in solution with other ingredients (e.g., soups, gravy, sauces) the varieties cannot be distinguished from one another by even the most discriminating diner." – todao
