What’s Cooking? How Is Pirate Day Celebrated?
Hello and welcome to What’s Cooking? , a weekly open thread where you can share all your brilliant thoughts, tips, recipes and opinions on anything edible. I’ll give you topics for discussion between you, but don’t feel obligated to them; this is your space to talk about food with like-minded enthusiasts, and you can use it however you want (within reason).
Considering that tomorrow is Pi Day, I thought we’d start by talking about pie in all its great forms. When it comes to food-related holidays, this is one of my favorites because I love both math and baked goods. Some conversation topics to get you started:
- What’s your favorite cake? Are you all about the fruit filling? Or do you prefer a cream based recipe?
- What’s the best pastry baking advice you’ve ever read / heard?
- Who makes the best pie you’ve ever had?
- Do you have the option to buy from the store?
- What kind of cake to make when showing off?
- When should you use a cracker (or oreo) crust over baked goods?
So go my friends, go and chat about cake or any gourmet topics that pop into your mind this week.
