100 Things to Make Before You Die
-
Post #1 - December 14th, 2012, 8:03 amAs we approach the end of the year, I am reflecting on some things I have always wanted to make but never have. Okay maybe not enough room or thought to list 100 but here are a few of mine. Most seem to involve dough. None are very exotic. (I have never made any of these) These are a few things that come to mind. What is on your list?
1. Croissants
2 Brioche
3. Potica
4. Masala dosa
5. Good crunchy home fried chicken
6. Rye bread
7. Donuts
8. English Trifle
9. Mozzarella cheese
10 Strudel
11. Nut horns
12 Rugelach
13 Ile Flottante ?
14. Poire Au Belle HeleneLast edited by toria on December 19th, 2012, 10:26 am, edited 2 times in total.Toria

Post #2 - December 14th, 2012, 8:39 amGreat topic! Your list is excellent and I recommend the brioche and croissant recipes from Fine Cooking-- the instructions are easy to follow and the results are excellent. They certainly talked me through croissants! (http://www.finecooking.com/recipes/clas ... sants.aspx). Totally worth making yourself.
Here's my list, in no particular order:
1. Hard cheese (cheddar or blue)
2. A great baguette
3. Showroom-worthy coated chocolates
4. Head cheese
5. Real barbecue (pork butt)
Maybe someday I'll have the time for all this!
Cheers, Jen

Post #6 - December 19th, 2012, 9:56 am1. Some sort of dry-cured meat (salami, coppa, etc.). I've done bacon, and stuffed my first sausage casings last week (for a fresh, cooked sausage), but haven't gotten to this yet
2. Bagels. We may have made them in the house once, I'm not sure
3. Pastrami. After having SteveZ's and ronniesuburban's version, I want to give it a try
4. Hard cheese is mentioned above, but that's something I haven't tried either (we've done mozz, ricotta and paneer)
5. Soft bloomy cheese would be fun too (I have a fantasy of retiring to make artisinal goat cheeses)
6. A complex dish from the Alinea cookbook (I've done individual preps, and one of the easy recipes: bacon, apple, butterscotch)What is patriotism, but the love of good things we ate in our childhood?

Post #10 - December 19th, 2012, 3:38 pmGnocchi. I've attempted it many times, and have yet to succeed in producing anything acceptable."I've always thought pastrami was the most sensuous of the salted cured meats."
