Introduce yourself — the September thread

We have a lot of new members this month and I want to give everyone a space to say hello. Three questions: 1. Where are you cooking from? 2. What are you most trying to improve right now? 3. What has been your best cooking discovery in the last year? I will start: I am based in Austin. Trying to improve my masa hydration consistency. Best discovery: that resting a burrito for five minutes before cutting it dramatically improves the cross-section.

    London. Working on the three-point seal — still getting some side blowouts. Best discovery: dried chile toasting makes a bigger difference than I ever expected.

    Mexico City. Trying to stop overcrowding my pan when crisping carnitas — I know the theory but the habit is stubborn. Best discovery: cooking beans in chicken stock instead of plain water.
