Know Whey: Sourdough Info
http://www.knowwhey.com/p/sourdough.html
Adventures in cooking, cheesemaking, and living.in Vermont. This page is an overview of my philosophy of Sourdough, a recipe for Sourdough Starter, and some tips on usage. Start to finish, making a starter that is active enough to use in baking will take about 7 days, but keep in mind, you only have to do this once! Mix 100 gm whole wheat flour, 100 gm unbleached white flour, and 130 gm water. With clean hands, knead until smooth; this will make a stiff dough. Remove all but 100 gm of the initial mix.

Adventures in cooking, cheesemaking, and living.in Vermont. Friday, July 6, 2012. Repost - Spring Flatbread with Ham and Snap Peas. Here is a Springtime flatbread, featuring the first new peas and fresh herbs from the garden, an aged Reblochon cheese, and wonderful Vermont ham. On a crisp, quick sourdough pizza crust, this is a memorable combination of flavors. I collected a big double handful, then went to the herb garden and found lots of sage leaves, garlic chives and greek oregano. I wanted to have t...

Know Whey: Ricotta Tart with Toasted Almonds, Ginger, and Caramelized Pears
http://www.knowwhey.com/2010/04/ricotta-tart-with-toasted-almonds.html
Adventures in cooking, cheesemaking, and living.in Vermont. Tuesday, April 20, 2010. Ricotta Tart with Toasted Almonds, Ginger, and Caramelized Pears. This is a ricotta tart with toasted almonds, crystallized ginger and caramelized pears, in an almond cookie crust. It is very light and tender. The tart can be made from ordinary ricotta, but it's also a great way to use homemade ricotta* or ricotta which is left over from cheesemaking. Ricotta Tart with Toasted Almonds, Ginger, and Caramelized Pears.

Adventures in cooking, cheesemaking, and living.in Vermont. Saturday, December 29, 2012. Hoppin John - A New Year in Vermont! We're having black-eyed peas once again, so I'm reposting for your pleasure. What I'm doing differently this year is serving seared scallops on a bed of BEP. Here is a New Vermont twist on the Southern tradition of Black-Eyed Peas on News Years Day. Just-tender peas are finished as a warm salad with bacon, onion, maple syrup and piquant spices. 1 1/2 lbs. black-eyed peas (dry).

Know Whey: Grange Favorites: Pattypan Pie
http://www.knowwhey.com/2010/09/grange-favorites-pattypan-pie.html
Adventures in cooking, cheesemaking, and living.in Vermont. Sunday, September 19, 2010. Grange Favorites: Pattypan Pie. How an overgrown pattypan found happiness. Every year I grow pattypan squash. And while in some years the garden yields none, this year the production was high, bordering on oppressive. Many people like to pick them when they are tiny and quickly saute them, and I like that too. But catching them at that stage can be difficult. They grow so quickly that it's disconcerting. Find a deep-d...

Know Whey: Favorite Posts
http://www.knowwhey.com/p/ricotta-tart-page.html
Adventures in cooking, cheesemaking, and living.in Vermont. Here are a few of my favorite posts. First, the famous Ricotta Tart with Toasted Almonds, Ginger, and Caramelized Pears. This post has generated more interest (and editorial imitation) than any other, perhaps for obvious reasons: it's delicious, it uses both ricotta and fresh pears, it has a cookie crust. so it's getting its own page, at least for a while. Then, Moonlight Pies in Vermont. Monday, April 19, 2010. I found some lovely Packham pears...

Rob's Beer Quest: July 2014
http://robsbeerquest.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
One man's quest into the diversity and wonder of beer and the brewing industry. Wednesday, 2 July 2014. As is often found in blogging, many weeks or even months can go by without anything interesting to blog about. Then somehow multiple events can come along at once without sufficient time gaps between them to rapid fire out the blog posts. Last week was one memorable week. Thirty years old and partying harder than I did at 21. Here's the highlights. Wednsday night Apollo 40 presentation. I turned thirty...

Rob's Beer Quest: October 2014
http://robsbeerquest.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
One man's quest into the diversity and wonder of beer and the brewing industry. Saturday, 4 October 2014. The wall of yeast thing. Now I have nothing against wheat beer, that's where lots of yeast is a good thing. But it seems in this modern age many 'craft' beer fans have a perception that if their pale ale/IPA has the appearance of carbonated pond water the beer is somehow in the crème de la crème. Of freshness and condition. What I'm wondering is how they did it? Haze on it. Nobody seemed to care ...

Rob's Beer Quest: March 2015
http://robsbeerquest.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
One man's quest into the diversity and wonder of beer and the brewing industry. Sunday, 15 March 2015. Beer and food: The verdict/the truth. I have blogged a fair bit over the years on various beer and food pairings. Much inspiration has been taken from the signature books written by the great masters of beer and food; Garret Oliver, Mark Dredge and to some extent Melissa Cole. However reading Ed's post. Meet Mordue IPA with a roast beef, mustard and tomato sandwich served with cheesy puffs. Well no....
