Demystified - One recipe, two techniques equal ? result
Saturday Feb 05, 2022
Saturday Feb 05, 2022
Welcome to this episode of Demystified bought to you from the team behind Cooking with Steam. Paul admitted on a previous podcast that he'd never made Zucchini Slice so Linda handed over her recipe, which was really just a list of ingredients and some very basic steps. Taking the same ingredients but adding 2 techniques into the process he bakes his first Zucchini Slice. Paul also used a little of the zucchini to make a zucchini tzatziki for a side dressing.
One recipe with 2 different techniques produces quite different results.

Demystified - Zucchini slice and bread dough recovery
Thursday Jan 27, 2022
Thursday Jan 27, 2022
Welcome to this episode of Demystified bought to you from the team behind Cooking with Steam.
In this episode Linda has made Zucchini Slice following the gift of some home grown zucchini's from a friend. Given that those who love Zucchini Slice will tell you that their recipe is the best, Paul was asked about the technique of drawing moisture out and if it would make a noticeable difference.
Paul had some useful tips including adding salt to the grated zucchini and then washing thoroughly before use. This technique is also useful for cooking with egglants (aka aubergine).
A listener had written in asking about the bread he'd baked not turning out as he'd hoped. Paul had tips on what happens when your dough is over-proved and how to get it back ready for baking. (Thanks Roger)
