I recently signed up to test recipes for America's
Test Kitchen. They send you the link to the recipe by
e-mail, you make it, and then you fill out an on-line
survey. You don't have to make all the recipes they send
you just the ones you want to.

I did my first one last weekend. It was Chicken Tikka
Masala. Here's the recipe link:

http://www.cooksillustrated.com/othe...d=697&bdc=8364

Chicken Tikka Masala is not one of my favorite Indian
dishes, and I wouldn't order it a la carte, but I often
have some when I go to an Indian buffet. So, I've had
it plenty of times.

I didn't care for theirs, compared to the ones I've
enjoyed at Indian restaurants. One thing was the
fresh ginger. I didn't think the flavor was right for
this sort of dish. Also, I thought it was a little too
tart (too much tomato vs. cream?). I'm used to this dish
being very creamy, zero tartness, and more spicy (flavor,
not heat). But it wasn't bad. Some people may like it
better than I did. I rated it a 5 (scale of 1-10) on
the survey.

All in all it was a fun experience and can't wait for
the next one.

On the whole the recipe sounds fairly accurate - although every
Chicken Tikka I've had has also had bell peppers (capsicum) in it.

Traditionally the chicken is prepared/cooked tandoori style, perhaps
that accounted for the difference to restaurant quality ( most Indian
restaurants have a tandoor oven) and the home-style oven baked.

enjoy your reviewing!

This is one of my DH's favorite dishes though we know it as Butter
Chicken. An Indian friend of ours taught it to me. Her recupe is a bit
different. Main thing I noticed was I marinate the chicken in the spicy
yogurt sauce. I put some onion and garlic, garam masala and cilantro
thru the food processor. It sits overnight in the fridge. Then next
day, I amke the sauce, again with onion, garlic, and ginger put through
the FP and then sizzled with cinnamon stick in the oil. Then you add all
the rest of the spices and tomatoes and cream. Roast the chicken in the
oven, add it to sauce.

I find that the overnight marinating in the acidic yogurt really adds to
the buttery texture of the chicken and heightens the spiciness.

BTW, I used to do testing with them, too. It was fun. I hope you'll
enjoy it.

I'm feeling in a "flamacious" mood today...

Actually I'm very fond of Lady Jane...her every post reeks, drips and exudes
S - E - X ...

For xmas she sent me a copy of _The Kama Sutra_, she inscribed it to me
thusly:

"Dearest Greggie: hoping you can visit Oz sometime for a bit of slap -

Doubtless she had one hand up her uterus when she wrote it.

Was there in Feb, things like the cornetta (crossainte) with
hazelnut goo were exceptional.

There was one good Naples restaurant I'd truly recommend --
Sabarino on the Riviera di Chiaia. They had perfect
pizzas and calzones, decent antipasti (although these
do cost more), decent house wine and they will make
any pizza or pasta dish you want, including ripieni
(stuffed pizza).

Also the vegan place off via tribunale is well worth it.
email me or ask me here and I will give more exact information.

That's a good question. I had some time ago signed up
for a Cook's Illustrated e-mail newsletter. The offer
to become a tester came in one of the newsletters. I just
clicked on the link they provided and filled out the
form for signing up. I suppose you could write to Cook's
or America's Test Kitchen on their web sites and inquire
about it.

Butter Chicken - at least according to my Indian friend who
makes the best butter chicken in the world - is Murgh Makhani.
(Murgh = chicken, makhani = butter) Chicken Tikka Masala is similar.
In butter chicken the chicken is marinated and then baked or
roasted and put in the sauce. In CTM the bonely chicken chunks
are cooked in tandoori seasoning in a tandoori oven. I guess
they're more similar than I previously thought. I always thought
of them as very different, probably because my friend's Butter
Chicken is different from and so much better than any CTM I've
ever tried.

I just ate some of the leftovers for dinner last night and
it was much improved by sitting in the fridge for a couple
of days. Many things are better reheated.

I doubt the physical practicalities of that manuever in any case.

Butter Chicken starts with chicken that has already been cooked. Indian
restaurants make it using leftover tandoori chicken.

Cornetti alla crema, literally translated as "little-horns with custard",
are the most common brioches/croissants in Italy, a tradition for many of us
when it's breakfast time.
Here it is:

Note that it has no confectioner's sugar on it, but usually one finds them
with. It also helps to distinguish between the various fillings, at least in
my area: cornetti with custard usually have some confectioner's sugar over
them, while cornetti with jam (usually apricot) bear no sugar over it or big
grained sugar, while empty cornetti's have no sugar over them.
A cappuccino and a cornetto and you're in Italy
