I don't know a damn thing about cooking. Sure, I can make basic stuff like most people can but I don't understand what it is that I'm actually doing. Is there some website or book or something that can comprehensively teach me the “science” of cooking? What I mean is, why does ingredient A go good with ingredient B, why does ingredient C taste different when cooked whatever way, why does ingredient D need to be chopped up this certain way. Also I'd really like to learn all the different techniques of how to prepare ingredients and meals. Getting pretty tired of reverse engineering everything that I make.
Essentially what I'm saying is that I'm a self-taught cook with no cooking knowledge the same way one can be a self-taught musician with no music theory knowledge: I suck at it.

Hmm seems interesting but not really what I'm looking for. I need a beginner's handbook on why stuff works.
>>
>>8343766
Beginner level? On Food and Cooking by Harold McGee. Also, check out "good eats" with Alton Brown.
Advanced level? Modernist cuisine.

Red potatoes over the standard brown ones. And I think mixed red and white quinoa looks a bit more interesting than unmixed.

This is all, by the way, from >>8340899
a four-paragraph post about how restaurants handle reservations. Why are waiters so pretentious? Is this why they think they deserve 30% tips for bringing a plate to your table?

fucking lol and managing 5 orders per fucking table and making sure all the food is hot and edible and at a high skill level all within less then an hour per table is a total fucking cake walk and doesnt deserve any tips only minimum wage and shit benefits even when youre at high risk of injury. but yea no, i totally bet these people came to the restaurant for you to introduce yourself and then have the bus boy actually deliver all the fucking food.

Why is eating with chopsticks so fun?
50 Posts / 6 Images

Because it takes slightly more brain function to use them as opposed to just mindlessly shoveling away with a fork or spoon.
>>
>>8340023
How is it "fun"? I can understand the reasoning behind using them for particular items (specifically raw fish), but for things like rice, or noodles, I don't understand the purpose of chopsticks. Some even taste like wood, so you get this small flavor of wood before you taste the food. Plastic chopsticks, can't trust them because of where they come from.
>>
because its kind of like eating with your fingers if your fingers were really long and impervious to heat
>>8340129
try metal chopsticks
