Always great to see Alton Brown. His advice is always first-rate.
ReplyPS – I love that abstract painting behind him. Wondering who it’s by, and if it’s a painting he owns.
Awesome. Nice to see AB on your show!
ReplyThanks for the advice on butter. That is one thing in my cooking that I have wondered about. And, concerning macarons – I have seen variations on the almond flour part of the cookie/biscuit, including aquafaba, another nut flour, such as hazelnut flour, and All-Purpose flour. None of which, sadly, sound appetizing, nor an adequate substitution. I feel sad for those allergic to almonds.
Reply“… from various people throughout the Universe…”
Well THAT wasn’t very precise!
ReplyThat was fun! Good to see you, Alton.
ReplyI’m from a tropical country and we have been putting avocado on bread since forever. How American yuppies managed to play it out is beyond me. I still have avocado and cucumber sandwiches all the time
Replyjust some background on the avocado toast thing…it was a big staple of his back when he went on a diet. IIRC from the episode he did on it (think he lost 40#), he ate it every morning.
ReplyAquafaba is an egg replacement, not a nut or almond flour replacement, though, right? Or is it just magical and have All The Properties? Just flavor and chemical interaction doesn’t make sense to me. To the internet!
ReplyCan this segment please be a thing?
ReplySo much teaching in so short a time. This is why Alton is an OG. Along with Chef John, of course. Imagine THAT collab.
ReplyAlton is my go-to for homemade ginger ale.
ReplyThe bare minimum I know about cooking, I learned from this man.
