comment Does English Breakfast Tea equal Assam Tea?
Can I ask why you need Assam tea specifically for making Chai? I would have thought that any strong, good quality black tea would work fine.

comment Steaks look light brown aren't charing
And make sure your meat is at room temperature. Take your steak out of the fridge at least 30 minutes before cooking it.

comment Using nuts in pavlova meringue
I cannot answer all your questions, but I know that nuts can never replace cornflour. Cornflour contains a lot of starch, and nuts do not.

comment What is an elegant way to serve whole duck livers?
Personally I love pairing duck liver with cherries. Take a look at this recipe, perhaps you can find some inspiration there: latimesmagazine.com/2011/10/balsamic.html Oh, and I think this question will probably be closed (recipe request).

comment How long do you have to cook wild morel mushrooms for them to be safe?
Ah, I see. Those are "toppmurklor" over here ("top morels" in translation). :) The link is not working by the way, but I found plenty on google. Anyway, just disregard my answer. It is obviously not the same mushroom.

Yes, they must be. Here is a google image search on the mushroom in question. Does this variety not exist in the US? bit.ly/Ixwffs

comment Can I carve up a suckling pig like you would an adult pig?
"end up with meat you don't want to eat"? Sounds like you are knocking gelatin. Don't do that. It is precisely the gelatin that makes suckling pig so juicy and delicious.

comment Ice cream problems
It definitely does not need 20 minutes at that temperature. When your custard reaches the prescribed temperature it is done. However, you should be aware that if you cook it in a bain-marie it will take longer than if you heat it in a saucepan directly on the stove top. But 20 minutes still seems excessive, even for a bain-marie.

comment What is an easy-to-make dessert that goes well with Indian food?
If easy-to-make is your priority I would go for mango lassi. It is simply mango blended with youghurt. You can also add milk to adjust consistency, or add sugar to adjust sweetness.

comment Why add yogurt to curries spoon by spoon instead of all at once?
Everything in your answer makes sense, but will it really make that much of a difference here, where the recipe calls for the curry to "simmer for an hour or more"? Will not the simmering cause the yoghurt to curdle anyway?
