Ask Roni - Whole Wheat Flour
2008-05-12 00:00:00
Hi Roni, I am planning on making your pumpkin muffins this week, and so I was wondering…Are there general rules to follow when substituting regular flour for wheat flour in a recipe? When you swap in wheat flour, does this change the amount of baking powder, liquid, or any other ingredients ...
Flour Crisis Rooting Out
2008-05-07 17:00:00
One of many prime responsibilities of the government is to supply flour to the people at affordable prices everywhere in the country through either utility stores or through the general markets. Along with the ample supply of the flour, government needs to keep a strict check on smuggling and hoarding of the flour. The inter-provincial ban on the transport of wheat and flour is timely and it should be observed more strictly and the supply of flour between the provinces should only be conducted through the governments. Another factor in alleviating the flour crisis in the country is to ensure that the prices in the markets of flour and wheat remains the same throughout the country according to the price fixed by the authorities. Smugglers, price hikers, hoarders and other elements involved in the flour crisis should be punished publicly and severely to set an example. Whatever government does, it should do it swiftly, transparently and professionally to ensure the relief to the commo...
Flour Vermicelli in Thick Soup
2008-05-05 03:15:00
Many many years ago when I was still working, my friend brought me to Alexandra Market and ordered this Flour Vermicelli. It's unlike what we usually take which requires the use of chopsticks. The vermicelli is all crushed and all you need is a spoon and the soup is in thick form.In Chinese, it's called ???. It's kind of like what Shihlin has but I had this many year before Shihlin came to Singapore and I have not been to Taiwan either. So to me this was the original.I had no idea how it was done but I came up with my own verison. The idea came from the Little Bowl Fins. This is also one of my Saturday dinner because it is fast and easy to cook. But be warned. The vermicelli will expand so it's advisable to cook this when you are ready to eat.Ingredients:2 bunch of Rice Vermicelli, crushed10 Fresh Shitake Mushroom, sliced10 Scallops, sliced halfed and blanched750ml Chicken BrothCornflour Mixture (Thickener)Seasonings:1 teaspoon Sugar1 teaspoon Salt1 teaspoon Light Soy Sauce1/2 t...

Soya Bean Flour KitKats

A new flavour of mini pack KitKats appeared on the shelves of a supermarket I visited last week.As my current employer deems it necessary to send me to the four corners of Nagoya City Ive been frequenting some unfamiliar suburbs recently.Its interesting to see how prices vary not only between chains but also individual stores.Ive only seen these mini kitkats available in two or three areas.As to the kitkats themselves the filling is kinako or soya bean flour.Not especially sweet tasting they do seem a bit "floury" and have a thicker consistency compared to other kitkats.Not particularly memorable or provocative enough to try again.
Chia or Salba as a Gluten Free Flour Substitute
2008-04-19 06:56:00
Chia not only works as an egg substitute, but it also works as a flour substitute, which makes it ideal for people with gluten intolerance and celiac disease or people who are limiting their wheat intake for other reasons. I've seen two different methods described for using chia as a flour substitute. The first is to simply replace the flour in any recipe with equal parts chia flour or chia mixed with another gluten-free flour. The second method does not eliminate the flour altogether but reduces it by using 3 parts flour to 1 part ground chia or Salba. So, if the recipe calls for 1 cup flour you would use 3/4 cup flour and 1/4 cup chia. To make chia flour, you can grind chia in a coffee grinder or powerful blender such as the Vitamix. Now, what I'm wondering is what would happen if one replaced both the eggs and flour with chia in the same recipe ...

Breakfast at the Flour Bakery and Cafe on Farnsworth Street, Fort Point, So
2008-03-09 18:00:00
SeeTheGlobe.com Travel Article :: Flour Bakery and Cafe came up as a convenient spot during my search for a breakfast restaurant near the Boston Convention Center. It had good reviews online and it seemed like it would be walking distance from the center. My hotel was close to MBTA's (Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority) Red Line. To get to Flour Bakery on the day of the visit, I transferred to the Silver Line at South Station and exited at the Courthouse Station. I knew the address but still could not orient myself. A nice gentleman pointed me in the direction of Farnsworth Street where Flour is located. There is a very simple sign on the building announcing this eatery and it is easy to miss, though since I did not miss it I am pretty sure you would not either.Rate and Review : Breakfast at the Flour Bakery and Cafe on Farnsworth Street, Fort Point, South Boston
Click some flour, will you?

Click! Click!! Click!!!Like always, morning of the last day of the event. This has *got* to change! Seriously! :)Anyway, another bout of being creatively challenged. But a ton of fun, nevertheless! Thanks, Bee & Jai for organizing this. When Bee first announced the theme for this month - I got insanely excited. Flour! Such a rockin' idea!I was reminded of our crazy get-covered-in-flour-while-pret-ending-to-help-with-roti parties! White and dusty all over, we soon start sneezing as we try to clean the flour off fast enough so we can start eating!So, I was trying to capture the image of flour falling and create a notion of it turning into these cute-as-a-button pasta shells ... I don't quite think I achieved what I wanted - a sense of the coarse (the flour) combined with the refined (that urbane pasta) ... but the idea has gotten me excited enough to want to keep working on it.Being a natural wheat junkie, I can't help but get excited about this theme. More so with the DB challe...

"If I sing when I cook, the food is going to be happy."Pasquale Carpino COLOURING MY WORLD...ICED SUGAR COOKIESMy favourite cookies that I made again a few days ago. A friend was going down South for a birthday & wedding in the family, & her son insisted on taking these & some mini muffins for his cousins' birthday. Got down to baking some of these attractive cookies that add colour to any table & I never tire of making them. I feel like a great painter adding colour to my canvas! Small pleasures, & very therapeutic indeed...Hearts piled high...The basic sugar cookie recipe is the same one that I use for 'Smartie Cookies'. It's a very versatile one, and works well with this recipe. For the icing, I use powdered sugar mixed with just enough water to make it thick & flowing, then colour according to requirement, and drizzle it on the cookies. I leave them to dry out overnight in trays in the oven, and sometimes give them a minute in a hot oven to get rid of...

Buried in Flour?
2008-01-29 21:04:00
The Boston Globe has just run an op-ed under the headline "Ending the Stranglehold on Gaza." The authors are Eyad al-Sarraj, identified as founder of the Gaza Community Mental Health Program, and Sara Roy, identified as senior research scholar at the Center for Middle Eastern Studies at Harvard University...I do want to call attention to this sentence: Although Gaza daily requires 680,000 tons of flour to feed its population, Israel had cut this to 90 tons per day by November 2007, a reduction of 99 percent. You don't need to be a math genius to figure out that if Gaza has a population of 1.5 million, as the authors also note, then 680,000 tons of flour a day come out to almost half a ton of flour per Gazan, per day.1,000 pounds of flour per day per person. That's a serious quantity of pasta, pita, who knows, maybe sourdough? 1,000 pounds for you to eat, every .. single .. day! Yowza.And the propaganda machine against the evil Jews rolls on.

Pak paramilitaries guarding nation's flour mills and distribution poin
2008-01-21 12:04:00
Pakistan has mobilized over 6000 paramilitary troops to guard the country's flour mills and distribution points, besides escorting supply-trucks in a bid to control flour shortage that has resulted in breadlines and spiraling prices. The Pakistani Rangers and Frontier Constabulary have reportedly been ordered into action by the newly created Federal Food Committee (FCC) in the wake of anti-government protests over the doubling of flour prices. State-subsidized flour, when available, sells for between and 14 and 18 Pakistani rupees per kilogram, but the price on the open market more than doubled at the beginning of January, reaching 60 rupees in some areas. The average wage of a day laborer in Pakistan is roughly a dollar and three-quarters of Pakistan’s 160 million people live on less than two dollars per day. The price spike has aggravated the suffering of millions whose daily incomes have already been taxed by rising food prices. Food prices have risen by more than 10 perce...

Product Review: Battery Operated Flour Sifter

Perhaps not in time for holiday baking, but for future cooking sprees, here's an idea that might help those with aches, pains, or strains in the hands! The battery operated sifter works just like it sounds. You pop in a couple of batteries, depending on which sifter you purchase, and it does the work for you. No more pumping with the new plastic sifters that are commonly found in the home stores! I found that to be exhausting and painful! I longed for an "old-fashioned" metal sifter that you twirled by hand, but even those can create difficulties for those of us suffering with joint pain. Click to read more ...

Flour Prices
2007-12-12 08:59:00
President Mr Musharaf has announced that flour and oil prices has to be raised as international prices are on the up. We know we import oil from different countries so we are bound to purchase at their desired prices (as set by OPEC), but Sir, with due respect when reaping season of wheat comes government announces that we will produce wheat more than the targeted. But when it goes to mills for grinding the prices is on the up. I have learnt some economics and believe in supply and demand rules. The prices of a commodity should go down if it is produced above demand. But the streams are flowing upwards in this country:1. We do not depend on others are we are self-sufficient in Wheat so why to relate its price to international market.2. If the price is on the higher side after wheat is being produced more than required then why the shortage is created, government is helpless in curbing such people. It is economic terrorism and Shooting them all in road-cross publicly who are involved...

Lord Ganesha, the elephant-faced Indian God is famous in Indian and non-Indian households alike! Even my Chinese and American colleagues believe in his divine power. The symbol of prosperity, happiness, and success, legend says that praying to Ganpati with a true heart can solve all your troubles or problems. Stories about miracles created by this iconzed idol have been experienced in many households, and on this auspicious day of Ganesh Chaturthi, millions of people in India would be following a tradition of ganesh puja for 10 days. Appealing to Lord Ganesha on this day, keeps your house and family protected and prosperous for the rest of the year! So here's what I offered to Shri Ganesh, churma laddoos (Wheat Flour Ladoos). This is his favourite dish, so I'm vouching on peace and prosperity in our house after serving him these!!

Different kinds of flour

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.

Types of Flour
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. Flours 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...

Tainted pet food: Flour, in disguise, is the culprit
2007-05-31 13:44:00
The contaminated ingredients from China that led to the massive pet-food recall were both actually flour, mislabeled to look more valuable than they actually were, federal officials said Tuesday. The flour, thought to be wheat gluten and rice protein concentrate, contained melamine to appear higher in protein, the Food and Drug Administration speculated. The mislabeling went undetected by pet-food makers who used the ingredients, the importers who imported them and the FDA for weeks. The FDA also said some of the contaminated product was used to make fish feed sold to U.S. fish farms. There's no evidence that any of the fish were eaten by humans, but the health risk would be low, said David Acheson, FDA's assistant commissioner for food protection. The feed was manufactured by Skretting of Vancouver, British Columbia, and sold by a subsidiary, Bio-Oregon, which specializes in feed for young salmon, trout and steelhead. Because they take 18 months to 2½ years to grow from fry to m...
