Re: Ask me a cooking question
Hey. I love the boards that Jamie uses to prepare and serve on 15 Minute Meals and 30 Minute Meals. Some of them look home made - how do you make them, and what paint do you use that is food-safe?

Re: Ask me a cooking question
Interesting question about the boards.
Food-safe paint - that's difficult, I'm not sure at all. As for bare boards, you need to be a bit careful what kinds of wood you use with food. I believe fruit wood is usually safe (apple, pear, cherry etc.). Avoid softwoods as they can have toxic resins; some hardwoods are also unsuitable. And be careful buying wood, as a lot of wood intended for building or woodworking is treated with preservatives which you don't want in your food.
I read somewhere that in the USA you can buy food-grade planks at barbecue suppliers - maybe there's something like that in your area, or online? Otherwise, do a bit of research into safe woods for use with food. Woods used for barbecue chippings might be a good start.

Re: Ask me a cooking question
Hi Jamie,
Just got a pasta maker Christmas. First stop, your fresh tagliatelle with sprouting broccoli and oozy cheese sauce. Being new to making my own pasta, with tagliatelle, fettuccine and similar pasta's, what thickness setting should I be finishing on?
Cheers mate
Love your work

Re: Ask me a cooking question
About to make some butter. I've got 1200ml double cream. I like salty butter, so how much salt do you think I should introduce, please? Bit scared of overdoing it.

Re: Ask me a cooking question
I would work the salt in after you make the butter. you should knead out the rest of the whey anyway , so once that is almost done add less than you think you need , give it a taste and then work up to what you like. .. keep track for next time.

Re: Ask me a cooking question
Hi Guys,
I was thinking of doing a roast pork and I wanted to do roast apple, fennel and pears? Does this work? I was going to put olive oil and I was thinking either balsamic vinegar or some red or white wine vinegar not really sure, any suggestion?
Regards,
Scott

Re: Ask me a cooking question
Hi Jamie
I have been watching you since i was about 5 and i have always loved your style of cooking. You have been my inspiration along with genaro you two together are the best. I have recently applied for a placement in northampton college for a professional chef diploma i may just be 15 but i am just so passionate about the preparation and serving of food.
So my question is this what was your inspiration to start cooking and do you have any tips?
Thanks if you get the chance to read this i hope to hear back from you soon.
