When you share recipes with other people, do you ever leave out an ingredient on purpose?

yarn whore asked:


I love sharing recipes with others, but have found that someone I have exchanged with doesn’t give the full recipe – leaves out something noncritical to the recipe. I think she does this because she does not want to share the recipe really. Has this ever happened to you? Have you ever done this when sharing a recipe?

I always make sure to give the entire recipe and even my tricks and tips to make the recipe turn out as yummy as possible. I even share the recipes I use in my baking business because I think it helps my business.

Your thoughts are appreciated.

I’m looking for a recipe that will render Italian beef like the sandwiches at the Mr. Novi’s (Nova’s?) restaurant in the Chicago area. Please help! I love those sandwiches.

What’s the difference between cooking wine and drinking wine?

Sasha Doll asked:


I feel really stupid for asking this question, but I’m a new wine drinker. Does the bottle always specify when a wine is solely for cooking? Is the alcohol content different? Not planning on drinking cooking wine, obviously, I’m just curious.

Missy H asked:


I don’t hate cooking, but I hate the inconvenience. A few times a week, I don’t mind. But I dread the thought of cooking dinner every day. Unfortunately, due to health issues my husband and I need to start eating home cooked food more – no eating out, no processed foods. What are your personal tricks for making cooking faster, more interesting and more fun everyday?

What is a good recipe for vegan cupcakes?

Hannah <3 asked:


I have a friend that is a vegan and she is celebrating her birthday in a month or two. I need to find a recipe that does not contain any animal products so, no milk, eggs, etc. It would also be helpful if there was a recipe for frosting as well. If you have personally tried it then tell me how good they are because I want to make the best ones!
