really cake-y cake. I have had a few really good cakes in the last few years that were less spongy and a bit drier than the ordinary kinds of cake out there. What is the secret to making cake with this texture? Every recipe I try ends up with the softer, spongier cake that we are all used to (and that the box brands aspire to). This cake-y cake seems more old-fashioned--seems a bit more like bread. Can anyone help? I am wondering if it is a recipe issue, or whether it has something to do with time cooking, or how you prepare the ingredients, or oil vs. butter vs. ??? Let me know the secret!

I'd like to make some chicken at home that's as close to KFC's original recipe chicken as possible. Although I know the
actual recipe is not out there, I know there's a lot of discussion on what the 11 secret herbs and spices are. But is there a prevailing theory? If so, what is it? Failing that, what's your own personal recipe to try and emulate the actual recipe?

What are your best dips to go with raw or steamed vegetables? As part of bringing lunch to work everyday, I'd like that many of those lunches consist of raw or steamed vegetables with a simple sauce or dip. I'm very open-minded to ethnic flavors, spiciness, sweet and umami flavors... surprise me! My preferred vegetables are bell peppers, cucumber, and broccoli, but you are welcome to convince me of other optimal pairings.

Does anyone know the exact recipe for the vanilla ice cream that Heston Blumenthal introduces in the ice cream episode of his "Kitchen Chemistry" series? I am looking for his ice cream base recipe, not the bacon or pistachio one. I would be really happy if it was in grams/milliliters/Celsius.

Can I make paella with whole grains? I've found a paella recipe that I love, but I generally try not to eat white rice. So I'm wondering if I can make it with spelt or farro instead. I would just experiment with the recipe, but the ingredients are kind of expensive, and I don't want to end up throwing the whole thing out because the grains didn't cook up right. Anyone cooked this sort of thing or had it in a restaurant?

Perhaps you have the knowledge of some salad-y (i.e., meatless and somewhat easily prepared alongside other dinner items) side dish in which jalapeno, a red pepper, rosemary, and thyme work in harmonious concert.

Looking for a recipe from "Recipes For a Small Planet" by Ellen Buchman Ewald. I'm away from my home library, and this book is not online and I can't find it at the local public library. I'm looking for the recipe for potato salad on (I think) page 103. I want to take it to a potluck tomorrow. Would appreciate it if someone could post the recipe here. Thanks!

I need a great appetizer recipe for the annual contest at a holiday cocktail party. There will be serious amateur foodies in attendance. I'm terrible at design, so I'm not even going to try to win Best Presentation. What would you make if you were trying for Best Savory, Best Sweet, or Best Overall? A great drink recipe is a possibility, too--last year my homemade eggnog was runner up for Best Sweet (there was no "Best Boozy" category).
