Random Tip

Once a bottle of wine has been uncorked, the evil air and its legions of bacteria will immediately get to work on souring the wine. A simple way to help preserve that left over half a bottle of wine until tomorrow night is to pour the leftover wine out of the 750ml bottle into a clean 350ml bottle. The smaller bottle is a much less friendly breeding ground for the bacteria (which like lots of oxygen). Of course, if the wine originally came in a gallon jug, these steps are unnecessary. Simply screw the cap back on, and return the wine to that cool spot on the floor next to your bed.

Welcome to Gastronomer!
The gastronomer website was initially created to provide cooking advice for bachelors, students, and daft homemakers. Since that time I've come to realize something that you may find of vital importance.  If, after your best efforts, you realize that you are incapable of cooking, give up.

Really, give up. There is plenty of tasty food out there requiring a minimum of preparation--finding those foods may turn out to be your proper course of action--especially if you are currently in the habit of foisting such food off onto guests. Especially guests with a wicked sense of humour and a blog.

But for those of you not yet at the giving up stage, the Gastronomer site endeavors to dole out food advice from shopping for groceries at the supermarket, to cooking gourmet meals in your kitchen.

And since some of you may not yet have a kitchen, we run through the basics of setting up your kitchen, detailing the utensils (pots, pans, knives, etc.) you will need. An herb and spice section should help acquaint you with the herbs and spices to stock in your kitchen. And there are tips on baking, frying, throwing a dinner party, and some advice on food related dating. In sum, it is a light hearted journey into the culinary world of epicurean delights.
