Welcome to the summary page for FabulousFusionFood's Cook's Guide entry for Slake along with all the Slake containing recipes presented on this site, with recipes in total.

This is a continuation of an entire series of pages that will, I hope, allow my visitors to better navigate this site. As well as displaying recipes by name, country and region of origin I am now planning a whole series of pages where recipes can be located by meal type and main ingredient. This page gives a listing of all the Slake recipes added to this site.

These recipes, all contain Slake as a major wild food ingredient.

Slaking is the process of making an initial paste by mixing flour, arrowroot, cornflour or custard powder into a thick paste with a little water or milk. This acts to eliminate any lumps from the resulting sauce. Most slakes are 'non-Newtonian fluids' and the harder you attempt to stir the more difficult it is. Stir gently to mix the powder into the liquid to form the paste. Then, as you add more liquid to make your sauce stirring will become easier.
