Default High country greetings

Hello, everybody. I am a part time caterer and food fan living in the Rockies. I'm still re-learning to cook. 7000 feet in elevation does strange things to cooking. Hope to gain lots from everyone here.

Hello Trufflequeen and welcome to Chef Talk. I've heard that recipes need tweaking at altitude and I'll be interested to learn more about that as well.

Are the truffles you refer to the chocolate ones or the fungi?

We hope you enjoy browsing around the site and participating in the discussion forums. Visit often to share and learn!

Regards,
Mezzaluna

Default Thanks

Thanks for the nice reply. Water boils here at 198 degrees. so rice, veges, etc. need a lot more time and water. (it's also very dry here) The trickiest is baking, but there is a wonderful new cookbook called PIE IN THE SKY that helps enormously.
