Milk Street Q&A

Answered by Lynn Clark

Hi Sonya - Canned coconut milk and the kind you find in the carton are technically not the same product. Although they both contain coconut milk, the boxed kind is meant to be used as a beverage and, therefore, contains more water. The canned kind has a higher fat-to-water ratio and, therefore, will produce thicker and more flavorful dishes. You can make your own coconut milk, which is pretty easy. To make coconut milk from unsweetened shredded flakes, take 1 1/2 unsweetened coconut shreds/ flakes and 4 cups of warm water. Place in a blender and blend for 2 minutes. Strain using a cheese cloth in a clean container. Best, The Milk Street Team

Hi Holly - Thanks for being such a fan of our show and cookbooks! The Milk Street Cookbook (yellow cover) contains all of the recipes from Season 1 to Season 3 (which ran through the spring of 2020). The Milk Street Cookbook, 5th edition, which you can find here - https://store.177milkstreet.com/collections/cookbooks/products/the-milk-street-season-5-cookbook - includes all of the recipes from Season 1 to Season 5. Unfortunately we don't have a version that just includes the recipes you are missing from seasons 4 and 5. I'm so sorry about that! Best, Lynn C.

Hi Elizabeth- Your best bet would be to bake, cool, wrap tightly in plastic and aluminum foil, and freeze. Thaw completely at room temperature before gifting. Best, The Milk Street Team

Hi Linda - the flavor of this chocolate dessert is based on the old-fashioned cocktail. Using another ingredient in place of the bourbon will alter the flavor significantly. That being said, a brewed tea might work - black or Earl Grey. Early Grey is a good pairing for dark chocolate. We would also recommend leaving out the bitters if you substitute for the bourbon and using vanilla extract instead of the bitters. Best, Lynn C.

Hi Joanne - I would recommend cubing the bread, freezing it, then thawing and drying. That way, if there is any moisture left from freezing and thawing (ice particles on the outside that melt, for example) you will drive that moisture away by drying it before using it in the stuffing. This will ensure that the bread is ready to soak up all of the flavorful liquid you're using to make your stuffing. Good luck! Best, Lynn C.

Hi Robert - In the episode description it should give the original air date, which will indicate that it's a rerun. Best, Lynn C.

Hi Luba - Yes! You can definitely freeze garlic. Although you can freeze whole cloves, we've found it best to freeze minced or chopped garlic covered with a little bit of neutral oil to preserve their flavor and texture for the long haul. Best, Lynn C.
