Ma’am, I love seeing you compete and judge. My question is there is a lot of deserts that ask for nuts and/or coconut, maybe both, but my wife is allergic to both so is there a substitution that I can do to get the same effect to the way it is supposed to be? Thank you dear. It’s hard for me to give you a suggestion to substitute for these ingredients that works across the board. Are there specific recipes you are referring to? For example, a recipe that has coconut milk in it is different that is made purely from shredded coconut! You will find quite a bit about this topic! My question is this: Why are the judges on different Food Network programs always telling the cook that they need more salt? Balance in diet and taste is everything! Trial and error! Hi Chef Alex,I love you on Chopped and also follow you on Instagram. I toss that with a little bit of lemon juice and chopped fresh dill. I have done some research on Cuisinart, All- Clad, Tramontina, and Calphalon. Do you have a brand that you swear by, can’t live without, or just love to cook with? From my research I’ve seen comments about Cuisinart discoloring (which definitely does not affect performance) but would be a bit discouraging to me. I live in Northern California (almost at the tippy top) and have a glass top electric stove (if that makes a difference in your recommendation) as natural gas is not available to my county. Thank you for any help and/or suggestions. I’m an All- Clad gal. Unsponsored. Don’t buy a set. Buy a few pieces and see if you want more. Hello. On one of the best thing I ate type shows, you talked about a bakery that made tea cookies in New York. I think the name of the shop started with a U (maybe ). They also had an annual cookie tin. I was wondering if you would share the name of the bakery. I hope I gave you enough info. Thanks. I don’t recall. Maybe Lady M Bakery? Hey Alex- Just wanted to say that I love your cooking and personality. They truly look delicious! Thank you. Mary. Check TODAY Food. Should be there. Via Carota. L’Artusi. Hearth. Joe’s Pizza. Hey Alex, it’s Eric again, I was just wondering when you’re frying, grilling or searing meat like chicken, pork chops and steaks. Monitor the interior temperature if you need to make sure it doesn’t get overcooked or dry. And most of all, let the meat rest a bit once it is cooked and before you slice it so that the juices can flow back through the meat. Very important. We are great friends.

Can I fix it, or is starting over the only option? They usually break because there is too much fat in the equation of the ingredients of your sauce. You can often fix them with a splash or two of water that is a similar temperature to the sauce you are making. So, add some warm water to a warm sauce and cold water to a cold sauce. Whisk pretty vigorously and see if you can revive it. Otherwise you can make a small batch of the sauce again and whisk the broken batch slowly into the new smaller batch. I never cook with avocado oil because it is too expensive. I like to drizzle it on salads and such for the taste. I use many different brands of oil. I usually use canola oil for high heat cooking and olive oil for my cold salad dressings and sauces. What kind of sugar free pies do you like to bake? I have lost 1. 43 pounds recently.
