Ratio By: Michael Ruhlman

Cooking with ratios

Using ratios is not a new way of cooking. In fact, everyone who cooks has used ratios, whether they knew it or not. Learning to recognize ratios helps you create customized, scalable recipes. No cookbook required.

what is a ratio? A ratio is a fixed relationship between two or more values. So, what does this mean in practice? Let’s say we are grabbing some peanuts and raisins as a quick snack. We throw a handful of each in a bowl. Right now, there is an equal amount of peanuts as raisins. We can describe that as saying “for every one peanut, there’s one raisin” or by writing the ratio as 1 : 1 (peanuts : raisins). We settle in and give it a taste. But, it is incredibly salty. There are way too many salted peanuts in the dish, and they overpower the raisins. We decide to add another handful of raisins. There are now twice as many raisins as peanuts. We can describe the dish by saying “for every one peanut, there are two raisins” or by writing a ratio of 1 : 2 (peanuts : raisins). If this was a recipe, it could be read as “for every 2 raisins, add 1 peanut” or “for every 1 peanut, add 2 raisins” or “1 Part Peanuts to 2 Parts Raisins”.

cookerynation.com

If we absolutely love the balance of flavour this gives, and we want to make it again exactly the same, we can use this ratio every time. If we wanted to make the bowl again, but let’s say for the whole family, we still follow the ratio. Instead of using one handful of peanuts and two handfuls of raisins, we can use two cups of peanuts and four cups of raisins. Our example of the perfect bowl of penauts and raisins is very simplistic, but it paves the way for understanding much more complex ratios.

where did these ratios come from? Michael Ruhlman decided to write Ratio The Simple Codes Behind the Craft of Everyday Cooking after an inspiring meeting with Culinary Institute of America chef and instructor Uwe Hestnar. During this meeting, he discovered that the fundamentals of many twitch.tv/cookery_nation

recipes can be distilled down to basic ratios. Mr. Hestnar had done just that in the form of a two page grid. This grid was the end result of scrutinizing the recipes of culinary giants and seeing patterns emerge. His goal was to have his students understand and use these ratios when practicing their other cooking skills. If they could pull the ratios from memory, instead of flipping through cookbooks, their time could be better spent focusing on technique. Mr. Ruhlman worked with these ratios to come up with an updated list that I use all the time in my kitchen and his book is my go to reference.

why use ratios? Understanding and using ratios has a number of benefits: 1. Ratios help us create consistent results. By using a base ratio it allows us to create dishes that will always come out the same. This helps you take your favourite go to recipe and make sure it comes out perfect every time. Need a signature dish? Ratios will help.

cookerynation@gmail.com


2. Scaling a recipe using ratios is so easy. This is a huge game changer. Let’s say you are making your beloved shortbread cookie recipe and are using the 1 : 2 : 3 ratio. Your base recipe may look something like this: 113 g Sugar ( 4 oz, about 1/2 cup) 226 g Butter (8 oz, 1/2 cup, 2 Sticks) 339 g Flour (12 oz, about 2 - 2 1/2 cups)

HALVED

BASE RATIO

DOUBLED

57 g Sugar (about 1/4 Cup)

113 g Sugar (about 1/2 Cup)

226 g Sugar (about 1 Cup)

113 g Butter (1/4 Cup, 1 Stick)

226 g Butter (1/2 Cup, 2 Sticks)

454 g Butter (1 Cup, 4 Sticks)

170 g Flour (about 1 - 1 1/4 Cups)

339 g Flour (about 2 - 2 1/2 Cups)

680 g Flour (about 4 - 5 Cups)

This will make about two dozen cookies. If you need to make half as many, or twice as much, simply to do the math. 3. Ratios help us understand what is actually happening in the recipe. For example, a basic shortbread cookie is a 1 : 2 : 3 ratio (Sugar : Fat : Flour). It has a lovely texture and sweetness. This is the ratio that I use for most of my subscriber cookies with a shortbread base. If we find a recipe that has more or less of any component, we should be able to assume what the end result will be. If there is more flour, the cookie will be drier. Adding more sugar makes it sweeter, or more butter makes a more tender cookie. Understanding this will help us make an initial assumption about how well a recipe we want to try will work, or why a recipe we tried failed. The more practice you have using ratios the better you will be at evaluating other recipes before attempting them.

hOW TO MEASURE USING RATIOS I am going to be honest with you, a scale is my go to tool when using most ratios. What helps create consistent results and scalability is the fact that weight is normally used. For this, a scale is your best friend. I, like many North Americans, were raised using volumetric measurements. A cup of this, a tablespoon of that. I could never tell you what 25 grams of chocolate looked like. Once I saw the benefits of working with ratios, a scale was the first thing on my shopping list. I have to say, that it is one of the best changes I made in my cooking. Measuring by volume is commonly used if: • • •

The ingredient amounts do not need to be overly precise or they are quite small (ie. salt, spices, or fresh herbs). Using liquids, which are easy to measure precisely by volume in ratios like vinaigarettes. Dealing with ratios that are explicitly measured by

volume rather than weight (ie. rice and other grains). If you do not have a scale, but are planning to buy one, here are my recommended features: • • • •

Digital Includes both imperial and metric measurements (ie., oz and grams) Has a 2.27 kg (5 lb) capacity Is easy to clean

Bonus: aside from using ratios, having a scale will make it easier to use international recipes and cookbooks.

what ratios are not It may seem like ratios are stand alone recipes, but they are not. Ratios are actually the structural and textural building blocks that the remainder of the recipe is built upon. In order for it to be a complete recipe, other ingredients usually need to be added. These ingredients serve very specific purposes: • • • •

Add flavour (ie., chocolate chips and vanilla in Chocolate Chip Cookies) Flavour enhancers or supressors (ie., Salt is the best example of this. It enhances sweetness and other flavours while supressing bitterness) Leavening (ie., baking powder in pancakes) Aethetics (ie., egg wash on buns make it shiny and help sesame seeds to stick)

customizing ratios Once you understand the role of ratios, you can start playing with them. The simplest customizations include: • • • •

Liquids can be changed up. Depending on what you are making, try using milk, juice, or even applesauce, or yogurt. Flour can be substituted with gluten-free flours or blends. Fats can be switched up as well. Use different oils or even substitute some or all of the fats with things like, avocado, bananas, or applesauce Flavour can be easily changed simply by using different flavour elements. Use different spices, nuts, dried fruit, etc.

Lasagna Ingredients makes a large tray for 6 – 8 people (Half this recipe for 4 people) METHOD 1. Place large saucepan pan onto a medium heat with a tablespoon of canola oil. Peel & dice the red onion and peel & grate the garlic. Pick the thyme leaves and the fresh rosemary leaves. Finely dice the herbs and add to the onions. Add the onions and garlic with the herbs into the pan cooking down until soft. Dice up the vine tomatoes and add to the pan. Dice up the peppers and add to the pan. 2. Add the beef and the Italian sausage to the pan, mixing well together. Cook out for 4 – 5 minutes and add the cans of tomatoes. Add the rest of the ingredients and place a lid on top. Turn the heat down to a low heat to cook down for 1 – 2 hours. 3. Weigh out the pasta ingredients in a mixing bowl. Using your hands mix the ingredients well until it has formed into a dough. Take the dough out of the bowl and knead for 5 minutes until smooth. 4. Place a pan of water on to boil for the pasta. Cut the pasta down into 4 pieces. Dust the work surface with flour and roll out each pasta sheet into a rectangle size of the dish you’re using. 5. Drop the pasta sheet into the boiling water to cook for 2 – 3 minutes. Once cooked, take out of the pan and drop into a bowl of ice water. Once cooled down, take out of the water and dry off onto Jay cloths / all purpose cloths. 6. Place the butter into a large sauce pan onto a medium heat, gently melting the butter. Once it is bubbling add the flour and whisk in to make the roux. Cook the roux out for 3 – 4 minutes. Slowly add the milk to the pan little by little, while whisking. Once it has absorbed the first lot of milk, add more and repeat the process until you have the correct consistency of sauce. Cook the sauce out for 5 – 10 minutes to cook out the flour. 7. Take the pan off the heat and grate all of the cheese. Add to the pan and whisk until melted. Place back onto the heat if the cheese has not melted totally. Take off the heat again. Taste and season with natural sea salt. 8. Taste the beef mix and season with natural sea salt if needed. 9. Pre heat the oven to 200 °C / 400 °F 10. Grab the large dish and start layering the lasagna starting off with the beef then the pasta and topped with the cheese. Repeat the process until you finish with the cheese sauce. Grate the extra Parmesan cheese over the top and place into the oven to cook for 30 – 40 minutes until golden.

LOW CARB LEMON CHEESECAKES This mini cheesecakes recipe is very keto friendly- the cream cheese is high in fat, while the sweetner and almond meal are low in carbs. You could fool anyone with these treats, they taste like the real thing- fluffy and refreshing. Serves 8-10

Ingredients BASE • •

1/2 Cup almond meal 2 tbsp butter

Directions CHEESECAKE

FILLING • 20 gm / 8 oz. cream cheese (room temp) • 1 large egg • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract • 1/2 tsp lemon juice • 1 pinch salt • 1/4 cup erythritol/ stevia/ monk fruit sweetener

LEMON CURD • • • • •

1/4 cup butter 1/4 cup favourite sweetener 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice 1 tsp lemon zest 2 egg yolks

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F. To make the crust, melt some butter until liquid and mix in your almond meal until you have some that feels like crumbly playdough. 2. Take about a teaspoon at a time and press the dough into the bottom of a muffin tin. Bake crusts for 5 minutes until slightly brown and crispy. 3. In a large bowl, add cream cheese and beat it with an electric hand mixer or standing mixer until creamy. Then add vanilla extract, lemon, an egg and your sugar substitute, erythritol in our case. Beat until all combined. 4. Your batter is ready for baking! 5. Fill all the crust-bottomed muffin tin cups evenly, almost to the top (the mini cheesecakes will rise while in the oven but will flatten while refrigerating) 6. Bake at for about 15 minutes. The mini cheesecakes should be slightly jiggly. Let them cool in the refrigerator for ideally 24 hours. But if you’re strapped for time, try putting them in the freezer for as long as you can. LEMON CURD 1. Melt the butter in a small saucepan on low heat. 2. Remove from heat and whisk in sweetener, lemon juice, and lemon zest until dissolved. Whisk in the egg yolks and return to the stove over low heat. Whisk continually until the curd starts to thicken. 3. Remove from the heat and strain into a small bowl. 4. Let cool to room temperature. 5. Top the cheesecakes with curd and enjoy!

Notes: • I use silicone cupcake trays for easy removal, but you can also line your pan with cupcake liners for easy removal. • Excess Curd can be stored in the fridge for up to a month. When measuring, please note that in Australia 1 Cup = 250 ml and 1 Tablespoon = 20 ml

1. Carefully remove dough onto lightly floured work surface. Dust top of dough with some flour. 2. Gently roll dough into a large rectangle. Once dough it rolled into a large rectangle a good soft inch or more thick, place melted butter over entire surface. 3. Using an offset spatula or a pastry brush, spread the butter over the complete surface of the dough. 4. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the entire surface of the dough, getting as close to the edges as possible, with the exception of the edge furthest from you. Use the offset spatula to spread the sugar cinnamon sugar over the buttered dough evenly. 5. Roll the dough over onto itself, continue to roll the dough until it is a long log. (about 24 inches). 6. Using a very sharp knife or a pastry scraper, divide log in two and mark lightly on surface every 2 inches from the centre on each side to mark where to cut for making 12 buns with 2 small ends. 7. Add the goo to the bottom of a pan, place the buns into the pan 3x4. Cover with damp cloth and proof for 20-30 more minutes. 8. Pre-heat oven to 350 °F and then place pan in middle of oven setting a timer for 30 minutes. 9. Buns should be dark brown and may take an extra 5 minutes to bake, depending upon oven. 10. Cool for 5-10 minutes; loosen sides and turn over onto serving platter so sticky side is now up.

1. Combine cinnamon with brown sugar, set aside.

RECIPE Spicy Bean Hotpot

CBD Talk If you’re still curious what CBD is….here’s a little CBD Chat. Unlike THC, CBD does not produce the psychoactive effects that make you feel “high”; instead, it actually eases anxiety and makes you less likely to freak out. In other words, CBD is ideal for people looking to relax and unwind—not get out of their minds. Here are 3 products I would recommend: 1. Infinite CBD Asteroid Gummies 2. Premium Jane CBD Gummies 3. Soul Addict Holy Cacao Hemp Butter

What is your channel name, and how did you choose it? @HappyChefTV. I chose this name because I am a happy guy and a happy chef. When and why did you start streaming? Until just over two years ago, I worked for 15 years as a cook in many high caliber restaurants. But after the birth of our daughter, I decided to make a break from cooking in restaurants so I have time for her, and to see her grow. Because cooking is really my passion, I went looking for an alternative that would still let me use my creativity. I decided to cook on twitch. I hope I can use Twitch to inspire viewers to cook tasty dishes.

What has been one of your favourite streaming moments?

How would you describe your channel?

One of my favorite cooking moments so far was when I cooked for some dutch celebrities and they really liked the food. That made me very happy.

My channel is all about spreading positive vibes with foodies and gamers. We try to have much fun as possible with good food, music, and dancing.

What was one of your biggest mistakes made on stream? The biggest mistake I have made on stream was when I burned cookies 3 times because of the hype in the chat lol. © HappyChefTV

What is the focus of your streams?

What advice would you give someone thinking about starting a cooking channel? The most important thing is to do it with fun, love and passion.

The focus of the stream is me getting inspired by my foodie family and friends. I love showing how to cook with passion and love. What are your future goals for your cooking or stream? One big goal I have is to publish a happy cookbook. I also want to have a nice internet site; and to continue having a lot of fun with the foodie fam. But most of all, I want to continiue this food journey on Twitch. © HappyChefTV

CUP AND SAUCER I make no apologies for being a traditionalist when it comes to ales. I like a proper pint of bitter to be coppery-red in colour, slightly caramel to the nose, mildly hopped, and smooth with a velvety feel in the mouth. Bitters are my favourite beers of all, and I don’t like to compromise for it. Thererfore, I was greatly pleased to encounter The Manitoulin Brewing Company’s uncompromisingly traditional offering Cup and Saucer English Ale. They were not about to re-invent the wheel when it comes to pub ales; their goal was to make as genuine a version as possible without being located in some some country pub in the Peak District of Derbyshire, England. In my opinion, they have hit the mark. “Good one, Old Boy! Hear Hear!” is all I can say. A pint of this rich, tawny liquid, and I felt like throwing on a tweed coat and deerstalker. It has all of the hallmarks of the English Ale, and anyone familiar with the genre will appreciate their efforts. Beautifully balanced, slightly sweet malt, hints of caramel pie, and just a touch of fruit - perfect for the stuffed pork roast Cookery Nation is preparing for supper!

MAPLE BUTTER TART ALE A good, proper pint of bitter should taste a bit like a butter tart – subtle caramel, slight nuttiness, a hint of sweetness, and a fruity nose.

Granted, this is what in fact gives maple syrup it’s unique and unbeatable flavour, so I am not knocking it. I think that somehow introducing those converted compounds into a brew wort does something that leaves an almost “chemical” aftertaste. There was tone to this brew – and the other maple brews – that gives an unpleasant aftertaste, which I could not overcome.

So, imagine my delight when I came across a flavoured beer named Maple Butter Tart Ale by Sawdust City Brewing - it was like I’d hit a century, old boy, to use a cricket analogy. However, I was somewhat let down.

I couldn’t appreciate the butter tart aspects that I’d been so eagerly looking forward to.

I think it was the use of maple syrup. I’ve had beers before that sought to incorporate this most Canadian of foods into their workings, and I’ve been disappointed.

Mind you, I am generally of a kind mind, and I will admit that some folks may disagree with me.

I am not sure what it is exactly, but I suspect it has to do with how maple syrup is made. I spoke with a colleague of mine at work, who’s family owns a maple syrup operation (known as a “caban a sucre”). He suggested that it might have something to do with the chemical change the sap goes when it is converted to syrup.

That’s okay, for the whole point of our flourishing microbrewery scene is to provide diversity, push boundaries, and challenge palates. What is one imbiber’s preference may be entirely off-putting to another. The glory is, both can be accommodated.

COCONUT PORTER

Normally, I don’t review beers from large conglomerates, but today I wanted to introduce one from Creemore Springs Brewery. They are a part of the Molson Coors family, but still retain their production in the picturesque town of Creemore – about 90 minutes north of Toronto. Despite their absorption into the multinational conglomerate, Creemore Springs has managed to maintain their independance, and this has allowed them to continue to experiment with unique flavours. Today’s is no exception. From their Mad & Noisy project, they offer a unique Coconut Porter – bringing the sweet tones of toasted coconut to the rich complexity of a stout/porter. I truly enjoyed everything about this brew. It poured as one expects, with a thick head and rich, dark colour in the glass. The coconut is extremely sublte, and well balanced with the dryness of the brew. It reminds me of the Bounty coconut chocolate bars – the ones that come out with the dark chocolate at Christmas. Dark chocolate and coconut are tastebud harmony in my estimation, and this captures that in a cool beverage.

The sense on the tongue is crisp, a tad astringent, and light on the aftertaste. From the first mouthful to the very last, it was thoroughly refreshing and consistent. I would have this with a stew, or preferably, after the meal, with a plate of cheese. If you are introducing a friend to the world of the stout or porter, this is a great one to start with. It is a gentle start to this world; nothing untoward, no oat bitterness – not too sweet, and the crispness they may be more familiar with from a lager. With Coconut Porter, I can forgive Creemore Springs for being a small cog in a giant corporate machine! 21
