I'm a researcher in neurosciences, cooking is one of my hobbies.
I'm Italian and live in the South of France, so I'm pretty good at Mediterranean cuisine (or so they say).
I love Asian food, especially Thai and Indian.

Why put cinnamon in chili? @Blessed Geek: how do you define a taste as "wrong"? Do you mean you do not like it? |

Why put cinnamon in chili? In many cultures (think Indian, for instance) cinnamon is used for salty dishes rather than sweets. I cannot comment on the dishes you had, but definitely I would not say cinnamon equals dessert |

Unnecessary kitchen gadgets: a reference I have one, but mostly use it for kneading only, if I can't be bothered to do it manually. I would then cook the bread in the oven for the reasons you mention. |

Which type of fat to make fudge? in any case, even global market politics are off-topic here. Plus, you cannot really generalize, I have no issues in finding good butter where I leave. |

Which type of fat to make fudge? I removed the first four paragraphs, which just added irrelevant background noise to the question, and were about health issues which are off-topic here. |

How hard is it to make fudge? You should probably tell us why it was not good: was it too hard? too soft? too chewy? too crumbly? too bitter? too sweet? .... |

How long do meatballs in sauce need to be heated in a crock pot? You really have to cook them a loooong time to turn them into mush. A trick is to do small meatballs (say 1cm diameter) that will heat up fast. |

Why are my pomegranate seeds white? A quick Google search for "white pomegranate" seems to show that the color depends on the specific pomegranate cultivar. |

Is there a way to safely can pesto sauce? @badp: as the other said, I was referring to glass jars, I've always used the term "canning" for both metal and glass. |

My curry ended in disaster. Please help point out my mistake Saying that using ghee is unhealthy does not really mean anything. Like for any other ingredient, it depends how much you use, how often you eat it, what else you put in the dish, at what temperature you cook it etc. You cannot generalize. |

What is the difference between green, white and black tea? sure, although I have almost always seen Rooibos classified with teas rather than tisanes... |
