= Whipping syphon recipes ==
 
Can you add Cat Whipping Syphon recipes to Cat Recipes please as it won't let me do it and asked to send you a message. JB
 
That seems to be ok now.  Let me know if not.  I am around for another 25 mins. x JP
 
Doesn't seem to be in this page for some reason http://www.cookipedia.co.uk/recipes_wiki/Welcome_to_Cookipedia JB
 
== Additives ==
 
Just seen your changes to the olive oil powder.  I am off to chiro in B Cleeve shortly (going on a bloody Tesco bus!) but do you want me to do a page on the El Bullí Texturas range?  Am happy to do that this afternoon as won't require much brain power. JB
 
OK.  That would be nice.  Sounds like I need to buy some tapioca maltodextrin next!  The El Bullí range packages are massive (but good value) - 600g from memory.
 
Hope the treatment is successful.  Enjoy the Tesco bus -smile at the driver and fill their coffers gracefully.  :-)
 
OK, I'll start that shortly. Had a longer treatment today although there is some slight improvement.  Was too late for the bus back so had to grab a taxi as had been shopping there as well.  I was certainly the youngest person on the bus going out - in fact most of them would have made my mother look like a spring chicken!  I dragged Robin along with me as I needed someone to carry the shopping, lol.  There is a nice greengrocer's there and a branch of Lidl too, so easy to avoid Tesco itself.
 
This is the maltodextrin that I bought http://www.creamsupplies.co.uk/special-ingredients-zorbit-tapioca-maltodextrin-250g-/prod_6917.html?category=3454, but I cannot see that they or anyone else has the El Bullí Malto in this country atm
JB
 
Agree.  I had a quick Google after your message and could not see El Bullí Malto.  That looks fine.  I'll order sone soon.  I'm around if anything goes wrong :-)
 
== RB problem :-( ==
 
Just started to add a recipe and get this message when I try to save.
 
Software error:
 
Couldn't open `/var/www/vhosts/cookipedia.co.uk/cgi-bin/cgi-files/data/recipes/20/spicy tomato sauce for pizzatm': No such file or directory at new-recipe-builder.pl line 358.
For help, please send mail to the webmaster (JerryPank@gmail.com), giving this error message and the time and date of the error.
 
I am adding it as I make it, which is why I want to save it.  Will put into Word in the meantime.  JB xx
 
== Disgusting recipe! ==
Have just made this [[Arroz supercolombiano (Colombian rice pudding)]] and it is vile plus wasted 5 Nespresso pods in the process.  I have an idea what I would like it to taste like, but completely out of Arborio / Nano rice now.  When i have made to my liking, should I just amend the existing recipe (one glance at the fact that it contains no milk should have put me off), in which case, I assume it won't be authentic, or should I delete it and start again with a different recipe name altogether?  It really is disgusting and I made the full quantity, which I had hoped to freeze as mother coming in 10 days, but it is going in the bin :-( Jb xx
 
==Sorry to hear that==
Oh dear, and no chickens to feed it too either :-(
 
I would amend the recipe to an edible version if you manage to construct one.  The history of all of the recipes was broken a long time ago so can't tell where the original came from either.
 
I'll also stick a Work in progress flag on that page. If you do manage to get a workable version from it, then pull the WIP flag.

I am ashamed to say that it was a recipe that I added ages ago and kept meaning to try.  It came from a Spanish speaking website as far as I recall and I just hope that no-one else was unfortunate enough to try it having seen the recipe on CP.  I think it will be improved if made with milk, more raisins and more sugar (which is surprising for a Hispanic recipe), so will tackle it when I get some more rice.  Have yet to find an Italian food shop - plenty of Eastern European, Middle Eastern, Asian and Portuguese ones (8 bulbs of garlic for £1 at one of the latter) and I might have spotted a Spanish one on the bus.  Found a good butcher, but not a fishmonger in sight so far and this is a coastal town!!!  JB xx
 
== Meat tenderiser ==
 
Not sure if it is suitable for potatoes!  Just tried it on a couple and I find that a) too many spikes b) spikes too large c) too rigid to make proper holes as they only make slight indents, presumably because potatoes are so hard.  I found it much easier with a fork which can be wriggled about.  I am sure it will be fine for meat though, having a much softer texture.  Having said that, it could just be me as have little strength in my hands atm.  I will get MFA to give it a go when she is next here as she is strong.

Hi there. Like the look of the kidneys you posted on FB - yumm!  Though I know they're not to your taste (or feel!)
 
I've used both of the tenderisers for potatoes with great success.  I only just about puncture the skins so you shouldn't have to press very hard.  Once the skin is broken and the pots covered with salt, I find this draws at least an eggcup of water after they're left for a few hours.  Does need lots of salt and also draining and re-application once they get too wet.  The smaller tenderiser is very good and horrendously sharp. The I photographed them for CP, I wondered what all that wet stuff was.  Red wet stuff!  Be very careful. x JP
 
 
Those kidneys were vile to cook but need to do them again to improve the recipe.  Yes, I can puncture the potatoes with the tenderiser, but they didn't go in as much as I expected, ie like a fork does with a bit of wiggling. I have some salting now but will have to re-apply as too wet.  Was out most of today so ouldn't give them much attention.  I think I have made them like that before, but it was probably when you first added the recipe. JB xx
 
I've just done a little test on two potatoes using the round tenderiser.  I made 30 stamps with the tenderiser on all sides of each potato, stamping really gently, like using those automatic library date stamps, no pressure at all.  I then covered with a tsp of olive oil and over 6 hours probably poured about 3 eggcups of salt over them.  I got 2 egg cups of water out of them.
To prevent horror film style accidents I suggest keeping your other hand behind your back or hold the tenderiser with both hands!
 
x Crispy Skin!
