Any resources on the science behind cooking bananas such as unripe plantains? Assuming them to be a starchy ingredient I attempted to produce oven-baked "tostones" or "patacones" but to no avail. Even with recipes requiring pre-cooking or blanching, they always come out extremely hard and leathery instead of being crunchy…
Smoked Butter Mackrel slightly spiced with Tellicherry Pepper. House made Pappardelle. Durum wheat semolina dough + mortar grounded Malabar pepper, rested for 24h. Sauce: ¼ reduced vegetable stock + 20 ml Green Vetliner white wine + ¾ sauce hollandaise. Remarkable…, the thinner you roll out the noodle dough, the better…
I have a 12-yr old who wants to do her science class presentation using food science. We cook together often (yay - Dad time!) and she is super-excited about what we learn together here on Chefsteps.

It's a fun and cheap way to go about it. But it was time for an upgrade. That's the Pok Pok brand Thaan binchotan. I've got some Aramaru bincho…
Given all the new masa content, does anyone have recommendations for either making or procuring queso oaxaca? Thanks!

For Valentines day, I cook three courses from fancy cookbooks, and my wife takes photos. This has been our tradition for a few years.
