Different kinds of flour
2007-07-08 22:20:00 In the previous post i discussed some of the flours, now i'm going to tell you about other types of flours:-10) Pasta Flour :- Flour made from durum wheat, the hardest wheat grown, make sturdy dough, and is thus the choice for commercially produced dried pasta.11) Rice Flour:- Available in most supermarkets. It gives a lightly sweet flavour to bread. low in gluten( it is a protien found in the bread), so we use no mare than one part rice flour to four parts wheat flour in a bread recipie.12) Rye Flour:- Available in supermarkets health food stores in medium and dark varieties. Both flours produce breads with full bogy slightly sour flavour. rye Flour is fragile so knead gently. For best results use one part wheat flour to 2 parts medium rye flour and one part wheat flour to 2 parts dark rye flour.13) Self rising:- An all purpose flour with leavning and salt flour added. It is used for recipies where baking powder would be added, but not for yeastrecipies such as bread.14) Semolina :-... More About: Rent , Diff

2007-06-22 07:23:00 Generally we have a notion that we have only few types of flours, but my friends you were wrong, we have over 16 types of flours used for different types of products and food items. I'm today going to list down most of the flours. Flour s are used based on what kind of product is required. Suppose for a bread we require a blend of hard and soft wheats in right proportions.1. All purpose flour:- White flour a blend of soft and hard wheats. suitable for most home baked products, including bread cakes and quick breads.2. Arrowroot flour:- this is not a strictly flour but has very similar properties to corn flour. it can be used as thickening of desserts and fruits sauses.3. Buckwheat flour:- Available in health food stores. Adds a full bodied, earthy flavour, so it is used mixed with wheat flour for bread. Also used to make Russian blinis.4. Barley flour:- This is made from pearl barley. Barley flour has a mild, slightly sweet, earthy flavour, and gives breads soft, almost cake like te... More About: Types

COCKTAIL
2007-05-29 18:53:00 When we want to experiment with spirits, the word cocktail makes us delighted. Origin of this fancy word is not clear, but there are a number of legends associated with it. the most common story is that of a widow of an American revolutionary officer in the war of American independence BETSY FLANAGAN who stole neighbour's chicken and decorated the glasses in the bar with cockstail feathers and thus it is called "coquetel". The very first book on cocktails was written by Jerry Thomsan in 1860, who invented Martinez or dry martini and tom and jerry.Basically we have 4 ingredients in any cocktail:-Base: It is the fundamental ingredient. The base is usually spirit-gin, rum, vodka.Modifier: The modifying agent smoothens the biting sharpness of liquor and add character to the flavour. The modifier should not predominate the liquor flavour e.g. the vermouth is a modifier in martini cocktail.Flavouring Agent: They include cordials, liqueurs, and fruit syrups.Colouring Agent: These are liqu...
