Home Setting Up Your Kitchen Essays   Random Tip When planning a dinner party, at the same time that you draw up the menu, put together a timeline of what you need to do and when you need to do it. This will help ensure that you don't double book the oven, or over extend yourself. Also, when creating your timeline, remember to leave about 30 minutes of miscellaneous open right before the guests arrive. This will give you a good buffer to pick up any slack in areas that you might have missed in your initial timeline. The worst case scenario is that you have to use those 30 minutes to sit down, relax, and have a drink.   Main Menu Home About Gastronomer Kitchen Setup Spices & Herbs Shopping Tips Barbecuing Beverages Essays Cookbooks to Buy Links Search Login Form Username Password Remember me Lost Password? Syndicate Home Welcome to Gastronomer! The gastronomer website was initially created to provide cooking advice for bachelors, students, and daft homemakers. Since that time I've come to realize something that you may find of vital importance.  If, after your best efforts, you realize that you are incapable of cooking, give up. Really, give up. There is plenty of tasty food out there requiring a minimum of preparation--finding those foods may turn out to be your proper course of action--especially if you are currently in the habit of foisting such food off onto guests. Especially guests with a wicked sense of humour and a blog. But for those of you not yet at the giving up stage, the Gastronomer site endeavors to dole out food advice from shopping for groceries at the supermarket, to cooking gourmet meals in your kitchen. And since some of you may not yet have a kitchen, we run through the basics of setting up your kitchen, detailing the utensils (pots, pans, knives, etc.) you will need. An herb and spice section should help acquaint you with the herbs and spices to stock in your kitchen. And there are tips on baking, frying, throwing a dinner party, and some advice on food related dating. In sum, it is a light hearted journey into the culinary world of epicurean delights.   Polls A Vegetarian is...
