2026 Cooking/Baking QUESTIONS

I thought this might be a good thread. I just posted a food question on the random questions thread but feel like more (talented) eyes might be on a more specific thread.

I’ll start with two.

  1. I posted this on the other thread. I was gifted a nice bottle of blueberry balsamic vinegar- how would you use it? (Suggestions so far were mocktails and salad dressing)

  2. Along with the house keys the previous owners of this house left us a brand new tagine. (My mom was Moroccan and would have helped me here! :cry:) I can certainly find some recipes BUT H is a picky guy and won’t do far out spices or ingredients like olives or chickpeas or preserved lemons….
    Any suggestions of recipes that are for an immature :slight_smile: palate??

I have a cooking question, too! Thinking about making beef Wellington. Anyone here has made one and is there a good recipe to try? No death caps jokes please. :laughing:

I have never made Beef Wellington but have seen a few postings of people having it this week - I would like to try (taste) it!

My DH was a cautious eater, so I always prepare something familiar as the “real” meal, and the new thing as a fun experiment nobody is obliged to eat. This has gotten him to love chickpeas, cumin, garam masala, serrano peppers…

In a tagine, I would start with saffron and chicken – something fragrant and benefitting from the moist low-and-slow.

The man is 70 years old. He’s been married to me, a food lover of so many ethnicities- he’s not changing now! :laughing:
