  • Thanks for your positive comments.

    BTW - In demos/classes, even when I say the alcohol evaporates on cooking, I also make the point if anyone is an alcoholic or comes from a family with that problem it is probably still not safe for them to use alcohol in cooking. We have friends with that problem so I am well aware of the dangers. If someone chooses not to use alcohol, perhaps for religious reasons, then I also advise the students to use broth or fruit juices where possible.

  • Thank you for the reference to the new information presented on the Food Network show which aired yesterday.

    Thank you also for your comments on my show which was produced a number of years ago.

    Interestingly, a quick Google search today of the Food Network site shows numerous recipes from top chefs stating that alcohol evaporates in cooking.

  • True dat...watched it...

  • Food Detectives on Food Network did a whole show on this and in many cases as much as 60-70% of the original alcohol stays in certain dishes. With deserts that flame, only the vapor burns off and the lions share of booze stays in...

  • Thanks for all of the recipes - I love cooking. I know that there are many references to the alcohol evaporating, I think this just may the myth. It is just a very important issue to those who choose not to drink alcohol.

    Anyways, your recipes seem great - I'll have to try some out!!!

  • I respectfully disagree. Your opinion is not scientifically based or correct. Food Detectives on the Food Network (aired 3/10/2009) proved that alcohol does not "evaporate away". In fact, MOST of it remains.
