DrinksAsked Oct 03, 2022 by Samantha V.
I started making this rhubarb cordial in the spring and forgot about it in the fridge until now (so probably 4-5 months). Is there any reason this would not be safe or good to drink? https://smittenkitchen.com/2020/05/rhubarb-cordial/
Answered by April Dodd
Samantha - the high alcohol content of gin and the natural acidity of rhubarb make this cordial an unattractive environment for unfriendly bacteria, which is good news for you. However, because this is not a Milk Street recipe, we cannot provide you a guaranteed answer here. A surefire sign that you should toss it would be any signs of visible mold growth or off aromas. I would also encourage you to send a note to Deb Perelman and / or David Lebovitz, if you can, as they will surely have more concrete insights about their recipes.

Hi, all. I'm new to Milk Street. I follow a mainly plant-based diet and finding it difficult to easily find only the vegetarian recipes. Is there a way to filter in/out meat when I'm searching recipes? Thanks.
Answered by April Dodd
Great question, Stefanie. Unfortunately, we do not have a vegetarian filter on the website. A couple of things you can do: 1) under recipes, select the cookbook "Vegetables," which is all vegetarian; 2) start a search with an ingredient (e.g., broccoli, tofu, chickpeas) you definitely do want to use, which will narrow the results; and 3) join us at a vegetarian livestream class, all of which are included at no additional cost with your Insider membership. You can see our vegetarian virtual classes here. When signing up, be sure to do it from our class calendar page to access your Insider benefit.

Love watching your show and I'm a paying customer.
I noticed your recipe for this flat bread called for lard, yet I went back to the show that made this recipe and no lard was used, yet the dough came together nicely.
Why did you add lard to the ingredients?
Thank you.

Answered by April Dodd
Hi George - when I look at the Za'atar Flatbreads Recipe (https://www.177milkstreet.com/recipes/zaatar-flatbreads), I don't see any lard called for, nor is there lard in the yogurt dough (https://www.177milkstreet.com/recipes/flatbread-pizza-dough) that is recommended. If you point me to the specific recipe that you see the inconsistency in, I'll be happy to help!

What's the story. Now there are ads interrupting the text of the recipes? And the space filled by the ads becomes a blank space on the print page? I pay for this magazine - it's disruptive to have ads show up in the middle of a recipe.
Answered by April Dodd
Hi Justin - we raised these comments with our web developers and I'm happy to share that the printing formatting issue is resolved. If you use the print function on the left-hand side of the screen, ads should no longer interfere with the formatting of the recipes.

For the pie crust recipe with the corn starch, what is the recommendation for freezing it? Can I freeze it in the disc right after I make it?
Answered by Lynn Clark
Hi Stacie - You can definitely freeze this pie crust! Just make sure it's well protected by first, wrapping it in plastic, and then placing it in a gallon-sized freezer bag after you've formed it into a disc. This will keep it safe from freezer burn or picking up any off flavors from the freezer. Then thaw it in the refrigerator overnight before you want to use it. Best, The Milk Street Team

Although I am computer-savvy (I was a software engineer for 45 years), I like to do low-tech and print my recipes. which I hold above my stove while cooking with magnets on my oven fan.
One of the things I really like about the Milk Street recipes (as opposed to, say, America's Test Kitchen or almost anyone else) is that they specifically format the recipes for printing. If you press the "Print" icon or just choose Print from your web browser, you don't get tons of "crap" from the web page, but instead get something that is specifically formatted for printing (this may sound like a no-brainer, but there are not actually that many web sites that do this). If you use Google Chrome for your web browser, you get even more control, which works out great for recipe printing. Chrome gives you a preview of what's about to be printed, but you can make some adjustments to make it better. In particular, there's a button that says "More Settings". If you press that, you get a number of choices to make, and the two that are most important for printing recipes are "Margins" and "Scale". For MS recipes, I usually like to choose the "Minimum" option for recipes, and then I select "Custom" for the Scale setting and adjust it so I can get the Ingredients and Directions to come out on the same page whenever possible.
