Food Thread: Beauty (and flavor) Is In The Eye Of The Beholder

bakedgoods33.jpg

One the many kitchen skills I do not possess is the attention to detail required to make beautiful baked goods. I am in awe of people who can roll out dough and make perfect pie crusts, or decorate cakes, or navigate multiple ingredients and form them into delicious things. Hell...just coating things in chocolate is beyond my skills. I usually get chocolate on the ceiling and in my hair and shoes!

Sometimes form is paramount, as is demonstrated by marzipan, which is an awful and cruel thing to show a kid. Wow! It's looks great! But oh my God! It tastes like crap! Or wedding cakes, which usually look great and taste like nothing.

But often, beautiful execution is indicative of quality in other things. Not always, which is why I gaze with suspicion on perfect baked goods like in the photo. But...Your first taste is with your eyes (that's why my guests eat in the dark), so it really does matter.

So...here's the question: are desserts and baked goods made more beautifully if possible because of the inherent ease with which dough and sugar and chocolate can be manipulated, or is it because they are more one-dimensional in flavor and thus need that first pop of flavor from the beauty of it all?

******

It's easy to criticize the food industry for the well-publicized failures in food safety that crop up every month or so, but there are almost eight billion people on earth, and every one of them eats every day. That we don't have masses of people dying because of food-borne illness is a testament to the improvements in knowledge and technique and technology, all of which is driven by free-market economics. I'll bet that just like every human malady, there is more food-borne illness in socialist countries than in comparable free-market countries.

It sounds like they took the issue seriously, responded quickly, had plans in place to deal with the potential problem, and now the world can breathe a sigh of relief because the chocolate will once again flow!

There's a word in Yiddish that perfectly describes this photo: "bubbe-meise."
And cooking is filled with this sort of nonsense. My favorite is that one must sear meat so that the juices are sealed inside. But there are more....

Most of this sort of link is just clickbait, and I usually get irritated about 10% of the way and close the tab. But this one was actually pretty good!
Baking Tips Every Home Cook Should Know
Some of them are for people who actually have talent at baking and decorating (see first section of this thread), but most of them are good, solid bits of advice.

I like zucchini. And while its huge water content makes it problematic sometimes, it can be quite delicious. Especially with bacon!

Actually, I don't think I have ever cooked zucchini with bacon, but I think I will remedy that oversight this week.

However, commenter Bitter Clinger seems to have hit upon another way to cook it, one that might just work! I know, I know. he is really going out on a limb, frying it. Nobody likes fried foods!

One of my favorite lines in the LOTR movies is when Lady Galadriel says "The Quest stands upon the edge of a knife. Stray but a little, and it will fail, to the ruin of all. Yet hope remains while the Company is true."

Such is my experience with growing zucchini in the garden. Take two days off of picking your vegetables and what was Monday's "not quite ready to pick" is Wednesday's "holy hell, that zucchini would make a horse blush" and all seems lost.

I think anyone that has grown it is familiar with this and every kid that had zucchini in the garden or a neighbor that did was forced to endure that one deadly summer of squash in which your mom tried to get you to eat zucchini in every abominable fashion available to the limited thinking 1970s and 1980s cookbooks.

Zucchini boats, zucchini casserole, baked zucchini, zucchini lasagna. I had it all in my youth, to the point where I developed Post Traumatic Squash Disorder which ruined me off of it for decades. But as a dog returns to its vomit, as an adult I can't help but think there is some redeeming culinary quality there and so the cycle of history repeats itself.

Wonder what cool ways the Horde has of dispatching oversized mutant zucchini? I included a picture of some of the ones that got away from me this year and some fried zucchini straws I made with a simple buttermilk soak, a dredge in seasoned flour and a shallow fry in my wok. Even the kid ate them.

This looks like something Misanthropic Humanitarian would eat (the man is a cabbage maniac), but it also looks pretty damned good!

How bad could it be? bacon, sour cream, cheese...and we're done. That's good enough for me. I also have a sneaking suspicion that I posted this before, but I am almost 29 and my memory isn't what it used to be.

Twice-Cooked Cabbage with Sour Cream and Bacon

One thing that irritates me about some cooking websites is the constant touting of branded ingredients so they can get a few cents from the Amazon purchase. This one is particularly irritating because they are linking to paprika. You know, the spice that has about 8,000 different producers. So what is special about this particular brand other than it is sold on Amazon?

Nothing..that's what. But the dish looks good, so try it, but don't buy that brand of paprika!

Just send me oysters. Lots of oysters, and I will provide special dispensation for those without taste who insist upon maple syrup with their French Toast. And pork rib roasts from the front end of the pig where all the good and fatty meat lives, carrots that don't taste like stalky chalk, spare bottles of Van Winkle Special Reserve 12 Year Old Bourbon, an herb garden that actually produces herbs (but no basil!), well-marbled NY strip steaks and elk backstrap to: cbd dot aoshq at gmail dot com.

And don't think that the rest of you are off the hook with maple syrup and French Toast: I'm still watching you! And I am watching you perverts who shake Manhattans and keeping a list for the Burning Times.

4 I was in Serbia/Ex-Yugo, in hyperinflation. You have NO IDEA what this can really look like.
There was literally nothing to eat.
The only way 'intellectuals' were able to eat was to hire themselves out to small-hold farmers. That area of The Balkans got away with it as it's so hilly, there aren't enough pastures, so it's mostly goats and human hands.
I was rich as fuck and couldn't get enough to eat, I wasn't staying put, and I had no food trail to keep up. I lost 20 kg.

7 I was craving chocolate chip cookies yesterday - I ended up making a potato leek meets fully loaded potato soup. Spouse offered to go buy me cookies, and then realized he can't b/c the only way I get halfway decent chocolate chip cookies is if I make it myself.

So, I gave in today. I followed the recipe on the Trader Joe's semi-sweet chocolate chips (leaving out the nuts and subbing in butter crisco for butter) and adding some dark chocolate chips, too...and damn if I don't have the best double chocolate chip cookies right now. Youngest son keeps saying there's dairy in it...I'm not sure how long 4 dozen will last, but I did try 1 cookie, so my craving is satisfied (and damn, homemade cookies are just world's better)...

12 As for whether baked goods have to look good to taste good - I actually find it's the opposite. The prettier the item looks, the more likely you'll be let down in taste b/c they cared so much about the look.

And now I don't eat many/any of them anyway. I can say the best allergy-friendly items I've had out were a messy Cinnamon Bun and a huge misshapen apple fritter - both out of this world. Of course, I didn't eat either in one sitting, so I didn't get taste fatigue from one-note-ness...

21 And for dinner tonight, I'm about to go shred pork spare rib meat into my crockpot Korean stew. In the stew, there's young radish and radish greens (33 cents for a bunch was hard to beat), Chinese leeks (from Mexico - which apparently, don't have the leek dirt problem so they are my new favorite), onions, green onions, celery, carrots, kennebec potatoes, ginger, garlic, cilantro, and s&p. Why yes, there's lot of veg b/c that's cheap, and the marinated pork was not, and when you cook for 7, you want to fill the crock. I'll do a cornstarch slurry, serve over white rice with my normal bluberry dragonfruit salad b/c dragonfruit was the cheapest it's been in a decade today. I only suppose that what dragonfruit was supposed to go overseas is now too expensive to ship, so it's uber cheap! Which is my silver lining to this disaster!

22 And I can't bake worth a damn. My grandmother was the stay at home mother/baker. She could have been a professional baker she was so good.

Biggest difference between then and now? Lard. Find old recipe books that call for lard instead of Crisco. Crisco is relatively "new" to the baking scene as opposed to lard.

32 Baked a cake yesterday, and between prepping the 11 x 7 pan and mixing the batter, I *completely* forgot that I was making only a half recipe! So, now I know why the cake rose more than anticipated...

Flipped the still-warm cake into a larger pan without incident to accommodate the frosting, poured on the full ration of runny frosting with pecans, and the cake looks just as good - and tastes just as good - as ever!

So... as great as the cake is, CBD's conundrum on the connection between the appearance and the taste of baked goods that he posed up top is still not answered...

47 Someone posited a couple of weeks ago that it was difficult to be good at cooking both American food and other styles. I've been thinking about that since then and, in my case at least, they may be right.

I'm a decent cook. A lot of the "yum" though comes from the wide variety of flavorings available from all over the world and if (when) they become difficult to get I'm going to be in trouble. American food, when done well, is often fairly simple but made with the high quality ingredients that we've been blessed to consider normal and requires only a light hand to turn out tasty. I struggle with the restraint needed to bring out the best without overwhelming it in "x-fusion" nonsense.

It was. We ate zucchini for every meal for 3 months. And those were in the days when my mother (who is actually a great cook) simply followed recipes in Betty Crocker and other cook books. As much as I might tease vegetarians, they raised the bar on cooking vegetables.

The zucchini was often a mush consistency.

Any child that was forced to endure frozen Brussels sprouts that were placed in a pan of water and boiled until they were a grayish-green ball of mush and gag-inducing sulfur flavor, probably has similar memories to my zucchini plight.

But as it turns out, when treated properly Brussels sprouts can be good.

71 I like Garlic powder, and use it often, mostly for convenience.

It doesn't compare favorably with fresh Garlic, not even close. For a roast I'd take the time and crush a couple large cloves into paste - you know the chopped pieces covered in salt routine - mash into a paste on cutting board with a wide flat blade - and coat the outside of the roast with the real deal.

73 There seem to be some Euros here, sometimes someone asks about 'kevlar vests', which are largely illegal in W. Europe. There is a way around that. Get a Kevlar bag and drop a ceramic plate in the bottom. American Tourister makes them, and the pieces aren't illegal.
An arrangement like that will stop most anything a vest will.

88 A kitchen scale helps so much! It also makes the process easier when one knows the weight equivalent--no measuring cups needed.

For candy making, one MUST have a candy thermometer and watch it as though it were a nuclear reactor.

My dad's mom was a terrific cook but a sometimes less than terrific mom-in-law (or grandma, but that's a story for another day). Grandma admitted near the end of her life that she always altered the recipes she gave my mom because she wanted hers "to be the best." My poor mom developed a kind of complex about not being able to cook.

152 I'm sure marzipan could be good in some fashion, I'm just not sure what it is, as I generally see it employed clumsily when someone is trying to make a cake look like something, rather than culinarily.

I generally peel it off the cake like a bland fruit roll-up and push it off to the side.

IMO, definitely an example of form over function.

Those super-laminated croissants in the picture, on the other hand, definitely create an amazing texture that adds to the flavor as well as the beauty of the finished product.

157 We ate one of the top four best meals in my life, in NYC , this weekend. The appetizer was so good I actually laughed with delight.

My point here is that everything was very lightly and subtly seasoned and prepared so the main ingredient shone through. And I wondered if someone who smoked could taste all the goodness here.

So you morons who smoke,have you ever gone to a restaurant that's supposed to be great. But, you taste nothing special at all? In fact what's the big deal about this place?

166 4. I don't know what it really means in terms of economics or survival but I know people who came from the Balkans during the 1990's but recently decided to return to their small farms in Bosnia for at least several months. They've often said our purchases and lifestyles are frivolous, and also that books are important to have (own) in every home. But, they love this country & plan on returning.

I can bake but it's usually not pretty. My parents could both bake & my mother would harp that food - especially baked goods - needs to be put out in an appealing manner - on nice plates, doilies (does anyone still use?) beneath cakes, attractive cupcake papers and napkins, etc. along with powdered sugar, berries or cherries, whipped cream, etc. as may be appropriate.

I haven't answered the question either but fooling the eye will at least invite someone to taste something I've baked.

Food Network has made it trendy to use Marzipan for decorative use on cakes, so it could be both...since normally, they encourage you to buy store made Marzipan to make your pretty mini teddy bear or crab for the top of the cake...

202 I found a really good way to make daiquiris.

Start with a 1 gallon zip loc bag. Add a cup of rum, a 1.75 oz fresh lime juice, 1.5 oz simple syrup, a cup of water, and a pinch of salt. Squeeze out the air, and put it in the freezer the day before you need them. It's simple and easy. Better still, the ice has a completely different texture than stuff made with a blender. It has a platelet structure, and melts very nicely in your mouth.

205 The results of shortsighted, self-defeating enviro-extremism are bad enough in rich nations. But they are even worse in the undeveloped world. In Sri Lanka, which banned chemical fertilizers in a fit of adherence to global green pressure, crops collapsed and food inflation spiked to 80% in June. The result has been a public revolt, including the overthrow of the president and an occupation of his palace by disgruntled citizens.

The specter of starvation is now being reported from Africa, and the latest analysis from the U.N. World Food Program suggests that 670 million people, 8% of the world’s population, will face hunger by the end of the decade.

I'm okay with that - if we could get the drumsticks also considered "the best", that would be great, so I could always find thighs and breast cheapest. I hate wings - pretty much you only eat them for the sauce and the fry, and you can put that on anything...

242 An El Presidente is an old cocktail from when strong men ruled banana republics and after a hard day of throwing commies out of helicopters a few delicious cocktails were in order.

1 oz rum 1 oz dry vermouth 1 tsp grenadine 1 tsp curacao twist orange peel maraschino cherry for a garnish. Fill tall glass with cracked ice, pour in rum and vermouth. Add grenadine and curacao, stir and drain into chilled glass. Twist orange peel over the glass for the oil on the surface then drop in orange peel with cherry.

273 A bit over 29 years ago I used to work as a baker. Donuts, pastries, and bread. Was pretty good but chose a different career path.

To this day I don't care much for bakery products. Not because I have had so much that I am still sick of it but because most are what I'd have tossed out as a failure.

It should look good. How hard is it to make a circle round? If they cannot make something as obvious as appearance well then imagine what the ingredients and flavor is going to be.*

On the other extreme - it can look too good. Like the deluxe cupcakes beautifully frosted with a 2 inch high mound of frosting - just get the store bought frosting in a can and eat it with a spoon.

The pic up top looks beautifully burnt and it will surely taste burnt. Some char on food can add flavor but all baked goods are just flour, sugar, and fat. None picks up a good flavor when burnt.

*Mishapen pizza with random giant gas bubbles may get rave reviews because "they have a real wood fired oven" but if they cannot make a round pizza 'round' then I will pass.

After the heavily edited documents were returned to me, I’d reinsert what they had objected to, but place it in those different locations. I’d also reorder and restructure the bullet points so the most salient—the points the administration objected to most—no longer fell at the start of the bullet points. I shared these strategies with the three members of the data team also writing these reports. Our Saturday and Sunday report-writing routine soon became: write, submit, revise, hide, resubmit.

316 144. I can't vouch for its processes now but years ago, the USDA inspectors would shutdown a huge poultry or meat processing (not slaughtering) room if two flies were spotted within that room. The room would be tagged and the poultry or meat (usually ground meat) got dumped and the room & processing equipment would be thoroughly washed down once again.

And pharmaceutical plants packaged only within clean rooms thoroughly inspected before each run. As equipment could be quickly broken down and reconfigured depending on the product in production, equipment cleanliness was of upmost importance.

329 I remember many, many years ago a buddy and I went up to Atlantic City, NJ to hang with a couple girls we knew who's parents had a beach house. We went to a local seafood market and bought lobsters. Live. And turned them loose in their backyard before cooking them.

Running around to find them was.... humorous.

381 The thing about wedding cakes is that they have to stand up to frosting. My ex-cousin (still family) made a great anniversary carrot cake with pineapple that could be frozen before frosting. The frosting was still nasty, though.

The key to good frosting is cooking it like candy, with butter or cream. Or like divinity. Most people don't do this. Tricky, and it doesn't stand up to air on the cake for long. Even a good fondant or fudge frosting is nice this way.

386 The Northern School of Contemporary Dance (NSCD), which aims to be a “progressive institution”, has reviewed the “elitist” art form as part of a diversity drive that has seen the introduction of new policies relating to gender and race.

Ballet has been ditched as a requirement for school-entry auditions because of its “contentious nature”, with teaching staff explaining that the traditional mode of dance comes with the baggage of “white European ideas”.

If the swordfish meat was a pinkish or rosy color, it was a deep water fish, feeding mostly on squid.

422 I started watching this couple in Azerbaijan whose chef son films them making cooking videos under the name Country Life Vlog. They get 10-15 million views on many of their videos, they have over four million subscribers. People find it soothing and peaceful to watch. No talking. They cook outdoors over a fire on a saj (flattish wok like pan) in the most gorgeous countryside. Lots of flowers, fruit, animals, gorgeous little country house and outbuildings. Eye candy everywhere. Traditional Azerbaijani food for the most part but also things like t-bone steaks, pizza, guacamole, etc.

504 Just got up from a nap and nearly missed the food thread.

I seem to recall someone asking about making clear ice cubes. The ice we make in our camper freezer compartment is clearer than the ice from our regular freezer. I think this is because the camper freezes more slowly than the household freezer. So perhaps putting ice cube trays in a small insulated container before placing in the freezer might slow things down enough to produce clearer ice.

I had to look it up, because I don't remember which recipes I submitted. Miklos probably shuddered when he read that recipe.

And I noticed that my salsa recipe indicates 2 cans of "El Paso" salsa fresca - it's supposed to be "El Pato."

I run hot water over the bottom of the trays and the cubes are crystal clear, they don't break up when you bust them out.

522 >>I'm southern through and through. But as far as I'm concerned, boiled peanuts are just plain nasty.

See? I like a lot of southern cooking but boiled peanuts do nothing for me.

523 In Hungarian Brussels sprout is called "bimbo".

Which also means "nipple"

If you have Brussels sprout-sized nipples, you hide them well.

That was some kind of fancy cooking there in Azerbaijan. I'm hungry for more. Can't figure out what that guy put in the tea. Do you know?
Posted by: Eromero at July 17, 2022 06:56 PM

I saw him pick various flowers in one video for tea. Camomile, roses, mint, and some other stuff. Right off the plant into a little flat wicker plate and then right into a glass container, added boiling water and let it steep. In another video he did some kind of tea that turned a seafoam bluegreen color, like a Mountain Dew baja blast.

Ask Publius. He fixed ours when running water spilled into it.

Don't ask why that happened. Miley was an idiot.

"Duck" in Spanish. That's why there's a duck on the can.

But it isn't duck sauce.

531 I guess everyone's upstairs. Maybe I'll see you later - we're going out for dinner.

532 Good evening food peeps!

I have to admit, I was a complete food slacker this evening. The wife is out of town, so I just settled for a cheeseburger and some fried cheese curds, washed down with a soda. Now, where are my meds?

No, those are my glasses.

Thanks!

535 They boil peanuts.

Properly done they’re just shy of a delicacy.

536 Zoodles. I'm telling you. I like zoodles better than spaghetti now. If you don't have a spiralizer a julienne peeler works fine (just takes longer).
