Where do i watch cooking demos aside from Foodnework?
i have a passion for cooking and have bulk of recipes in my collection. Sometimes i dont even know how the ingredients look like. Ive watch the videos in Food network but have seen nad tired them. Has anyone more ideas?
Michelle answers:
PBS carries some of the best cooking shows–America’s Test Kitchen, Lidia Bastianich, Christina Pirello–these are great basic cooking shows–none of the Food Network idea of a fun show being watching some celebrity cook eat at restaurants. Check your local listings–usually my area has PBS cooking shows on Sunday afternoons.
Paul asks…
where can you find a food flavorist in NYC?
I just watched something on Food Network about a soda company (Jones Soda) they got help from people who are chemist to come up with flavors and they are located in Brooklyn. Does anyone know where they are? or at least know where I can find any food flavorist?

What vegetable can be used instead of noodles?
I saw on the food network a chef use a vegetable, he shredded it into long strips, cooked it, and used it as pasta. I can’t remember what veggie he used.
Michelle answers:
Spaghetti squash and it is a really good alternative to pasta. It is amazing how it looks and tastes like pasta:
1.
Decide if you’re going to split the spaghetti squash in half before or after cooking. You must cut it lengthwise, and that may be difficult because it’s 8 or 9 inches long. It’s easier to handle when soft, but it will take longer to cook it whole.
2.
Scrub the squash well. Though you’ll only be eating the flesh, you don’t want any grime making its way into your dish.
3.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Split the squash, if you’ve decided to do it that way. Remove the seeds with a tablespoon. Before you cook spaghetti squash whole, prick it all over with a fork.
4.
Place it in a baking dish and leave it in the oven for an hour. Pierce it with a fork every 10 minutes to check if it’s tender. If you choose to cook it whole, let it cook all the way before splitting it and removing the seeds.
5.
Boil the spaghetti squash if you don’t want to turn on the oven. Pick a pot big enough to hold the whole or halved squash.
6.
Heat the water to a rolling boil. Place the squash in the pot and let it sit for 20 minutes. Check every 10 minutes with a fork until it’s done. Remove it from the pot and let it cool.
7.
Scrape the flesh of the tender squash into a large bowl. You should get orange spaghetti-like strands you can smother with sauce or add to recipes.
James asks…
Does anyone know how to cook, or maybe a recipe for bone Marrow?
I was watching the food network, and on Unwrapped, they were showing western foods. They showed a resteraunt by denver, Colorado, that served this delicacy. A Bone, cooked so that when open, you can eat the marrow with bread. Does anyone know how to cook the bone without opening it, so that the marrow is preserved until cooked? Thanks!
Michelle answers:
I saw that episode. Want to go to that restaurant. That did look good. I imagine braising it would be the best way. Baking or broiling would only serve to dry out the marrow. Boiling it would dissolve most of it in the soup. Good luck!
