How do you make a creamy potato salad?

Hi. Creamy potato sald can be a deceptive name as there is no actual cream used, the binding agent used is Mayonaise. I would recomend making your own mayo rather than buying it is easy and the taste and texture are far superior. Quick Mayo recipie: 1egg yolk, 25ml vinegar (white wine is optimal), 1 heaped tsp dijon mustard, salt, white pepper and vegatable oil. Put all ingredients into a bowl, excluding the vegatble oil and whisk them together. Put the veggie oil in a pouring jug and lowly add the vegatble oil, in a very thin stream, whilst whisking constantly. The key here is patience. If you try and add the oil too quickly without whisking it into the mixture properly you will split the mayonaise and produce an unuseable product. Slowly the mayonaise will take on a thick texture, YAY, at which point you should refrigerate it.

Then cut your potato's into even bite size chunks. Place them in a pot of cold, salted water and bring to the boil. They are cooked when a knife will pass through them effortlessly. Strain the spuds of all water and chill.

Then mix the spuds with the mayo, adding seasoning or lemon juice as needed for flavour. Some fresh herbs will also add some life to it say; parsley, chives for starters. you can add some spanish onion or other hard vegatables like fennel, capsicum etc to give the dish some different textures. Some seeded mustard may also be nice.

How to make a vegetable liqueur?

Interesting question! I've never done it, but this might work. We'll call it Mir Poix On A Freight Train. * 1 fifth good Russian vodka (this is no time for bad vodka!) * 2 stalks of celery, cleaned and chopped to .5in. * 1 large carrot, cleaned and chopped. * 1 tsp finely minced shallots. * 1 sprig thyme. * 1C white wine. * .5tsp Salt 1. Sweat all the vegetables and salt (but not the thyme) in a saucepan with the whine. Over low heat, let it reduce until almost dry. Let cool. 2. Find an airtight container, ideally glass but definitely non-absorbant and non-reactive, that will hold at least one quart. pour the vegetable mixture, the vodka, and the thyme into the container, and store in a cool, dark place for from 1 to 6 months. Consider sampling for taste as you go. 3. Strain the vodka through a collander lined with cheesecloth into a freshly cleaned bottle that you can seal airtight. 4. Correct seasonings and (hopefully) enjoy. Making liquers at home, for most of us, means using the infusion method, as shown above. We typically don't have presses, distilling gear, barrels or other taste-endowing containers to age in, etc. so we're stuck infusing -- which isn't bad at all. Try it with raspberries! :}

Where can one find the recipe for challah bread?

Matza meal is not like cake meal - for making a cake. Matza meal is ground up matza so that you can bake with it. It can sometimes be used in the place of flour to make cakes, cookies etc but you can not always substitute for flour as the properties are very different. Flour is used to make matza, it is mixed with water and baked quickly. I wouldn't make your own Matza, as the laws of rising can be complicated.
