What's the difference between cioppino and Cacciucco?

Cacciucco is very similar to cioppino; they are both made with seafood and have a tomato based soup. The only big difference I noticed in all my reading was that cioppino was said to be created in San Francisco while cacciucco is actually from Italy.

Are cioppino and bouillabaisse?

The differences between cioppino and bouillabaisse are few. Cioppino is Italian in nature with a purely tomato-based broth where bouillabaisse is French, and has the addition of saffron to it's fish stock-based broth with chopped tomatoes added in.

What is Cacciucco in English?

Cacciucco (Italian pronunciation: [katˈtʃukko]) is an Italian fish stew native to the western coastal towns of Tuscany. It is especially associated with the port city of Livorno in Tuscany and the town of Viareggio north of it.

Can I use red wine instead of white in Bolognese?

Both are actually fine but they make for a different style of sauce. The red can be aggressive, which works if you are on a two-day bolognese as it will have time to be fully absorbed by the other ingredients; but, if you're going to be eating it the same evening, use white and let it just help the meat melt.

What's the best red wine for cooking?

The best red wines for cooking are those with moderate tannins: Merlot, Pinot Noir, Sangiovese (the main grape in Chianti), and lighter-style Cabernets. Heat won't improve the undesirable qualities of bad wine: it will accentuate them.

Do you thicken beef bourguignon?

The thickening is best done right before you serve the dish; but see the Procedure and Notes. Boeuf Bourguignon is traditionally accompanied by boiled potatoes tossed with parsley, but I prefer Homemade Noodles. You could also serve it on a bed of rice or mashed potatoes.

Why is my beef bourguignon tough?

You're either cooking it too hot, not long enough, or both. Do NOT let your stew boil. You want it at a low, low, low simmer and you want to do it for at least 6 hours. 2 hours in a pressure cooker will make mush, 45-60 minutes will be long enough for almost all beef stew applications.
