Random Tip

A good pie crust should be flaky, not tough. This means handling the crust as little as possible. A good way to ensure compliance from your dough is to roll it out between sheets of lightly floured plastic wrap. The plastic wrap makes the dough easy to roll out, and even easier to transfer to the pie pan.

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.
