Starting originally as a conversation on steam oven and combi oven cooking, Demystified has evolved into a broad conversation about cooking at home. Hosts Paul and Linda still love talking steam oven cooking so some episodes are on specific topics while others are weekly catchups of what has happened in the Demystified kitchen. Thanks for listening!

Welcome to this episode of Demystified as we unravel cooking in a modern world. At the time of recording this episode the home base of Cooking with Steam were in state lockdown as their community tried to manage the Covid-19 outbreaks. Keeping within the spirit of the lockdown, Paul, Joel and Linda have been keeping a low cooking profile.
Paul, while not cooking, has been reading a lot on the issues around "sustainability". It is a complex topic and one that Paul wanted to reflect upon.

Welcome to this episode of Demystified bought to you from the team behind Cooking with Steam. Paul and Linda change tack by taking on the topic of a whole cuisine type rather than a specific technique or food type. This is the first in the series and is Paul's personal favourite cuisine type, French cooking.
Towards the end of the episode we have a small technical issue in that the recording stopped. We started recording again straight away but is does stop for a couple of seconds. Then for a few more seconds Paul and I chat while getting back on track, then the podcast continues. Please listen through the glitch.
Thanks for listening to this podcast.

Welcome to this episode of Demystifed as we unravel cooking in a modern world. In this episode Paul discusses what to do if your recipe fails. An alternative title could also have been, "how to recover if what you end up with isn't what you thought it would be". From time to time we receive "help" emails and most of Linda's weekend calls to Paul involve some form of cooking assistance.
For those who may have listened to From the kitchen on the 10th July, this is the episode Paul thought was already posted.
Sometimes you can't recover but don't despair, there are ways of recovering failed cooking attempts.
