I started going to Chocolate school after testing some amazing Chocolate.

The PID Toolboxduino
I’ve been working in a very involved projects lately, that it is why my blog have been suffering the lacks of posts. The idea is to have a PID controller in box, with different type of sensors and outputs to mainly control temperature, such as for sous vide in a rice cooker or croc pot, a smoker, a chocolate melting tank, anything that involves a precise temperature and electrical appliances.
The code and more tech details are at https://github.com/jarossi/pidtoolboxduino
Code is still messy but works, and it is bug free enough for me to post the project.
It features the following:
Chorizos Criollos
I always cared about learning about family traditions, one of the many was the “carneada”, we killed and honoured a 200kg pig to do many things, such as “Jamon Crudo”(Prosciutto), “Bondiola”(Coppa) and Chorizos sausages. The version we have in Argentina is milder and more palatable for my taste here is the condensed:
Buried tomato sauce
Back in my chilhood, when everything was good, one of the first really good memories about food, I remembered that my dad and mom make me taste something that stuck with me all these years.
It started by digging a hole in the ground, like finding a treasure, and carefully opening a bottle. It was the taste of sunshine, hinted with garlic, and bay leaves, transmuted into gold maybe?
A tradition that it is lost, that I am trying to revive.
The Searzall is here
My handheld broiler is here, we will see how it goes, there are opposing opinions in the internet regarding its effectiveness, we will see in which side Juan(no pun intended) ends.
It definitely looks like a funky microphone, I went trough the setup and seasoning process, it is quite easy to setup, we will see how long the screens last.

Things I plan to test it with it:
Smoked peach, courgette, bacon and beetroot jelly salad
For the first post related to cooking, here is a salad, good for the summer (or what it is left of it). The condensed (a very bad way I came up with to write recipes ) follows.
