| Asparagus on Egg Noodles and Guanciale |
¤ÀÃþ: ¥¼¤ÀÃþ |

Oh April in Indiana how I love thee. Hot to cold in a single weather front. It is chilly here today and everybody yelled, "pot roast". Maybe the last before the coming dog day afternoons. I have no potatoes, so, noodles and the newest batch of garden asparagus and we have a great side. I think this is very much an Eastern European influenced dish. The noodles are thick. I left them in ribbons but you could easily cut them into diamonds too. The hardest part of this dish is making the noodles and you could buy them if you have a place to get good noodles. Here if you don't make them they come in a box. This is the standard noodle recipe that most use around here for chicken and noodles. We butcher a pig once a year and we use the jowl for home cured guanciale it just has a little more fat typically than pancetta so feel free to use pancetta or bacon.
Serves 4 to 6
For the noodles
2 cups all purpose flour
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
2 tablespoons ice water
Place the flour and salt in a mixing bowl. In another bowl beat the eggs.
Make a well in the middle of the flour. Add the eggs and with you fingers start to swirl the four into the egg.
Once you have the mixture semi-together if it seems to dry add water by sprinkling a few drops at a time over the dough. Need the dough for 5-8 minutes. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 30 minutes but no more than two hours.
The thing about this dough is it is going to rest for thirty minutes at least so it will hydrate but you definitely don't want the dough to be dry. You can always add flour if the dough is to wet after the dough rests.
Dust a work surface with flour. Divide the dough into four equal pieces. Remove once piece and cover the remainder.
Smash the dough into the flour. Flip and flatten the other side with you hand. Now start rolling the dough with a pin. Turn the dough with each roll until you have about a 1/16 of an inch thick dough.
If the dough is wet sprinkle some flour over it and then gently fold it letter style. Cut into half inch ribbons. Repeat with the remaining three pieces of dough.
I hang the noodles but you can leave them in a pile just make sure they don't all stick together. Dust them with flour if you need to.
To finish:
16 ounces asparagus, tough ends removed and cut into 1 inch pieces
4 ounces guanciale, cut into 1/4 inch cubes
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/3 cup fresh chives, thinly sliced
Kosher salt and fresh ground pepper
Fill a 8 quart pot half way with water. Add 1 tablespoon of kosher salt and place over high heat. Add the guanciale.
Once the water comes to a boil add the noodles. Even though they are fresh they will need to cook 4 to 6 minutes or longer.
Test to see if they are tender by biting into one. If they are add the asparagus and stir once. Dump immediately into a colander.
Shake and dump into a bowl. Add the butter and chives and toss until the butter is melted. Add lots of pepper to taste and more salt if necessary. Serve immediately. |

| Mr. L's Mashed Potatoes |
¤ÀÃþ: ¥¼¤ÀÃþ |
I am a meat and potatoes kind of guy, to the point that it worries my wife a little. These are a perfect accompaniment to beef of any ilk, in particular a perfectly grilled 2" thick prime ribeye.

Thanks to La452, we were reminded that the old-school russet makes an excellent mashed potato -- it's fluffy, soft and just loves to soak up butter. La452 adds sour cream and buttermilk, which give the potatoes a stroke of tanginess. And he boils the potatoes with peppercorns and garlic and leaves them in, so the mash is dotted with the soft black orbs. They're like little firebombs so if you don't like bursts of heat, crush them as you mash the potatoes.
Serves 4
3 large russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
1/2 stick unsalted butter
1/3 cup sour cream
1/4 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
1/2 tablespoon whole black peppercorns
2 large rosemary sprigs
3 to 5 cloves garlic (depending how big they are)
Put all the dairy in a dish and allow it to come to room temperature
Fill a large pot 2/3 full of salted water. Add the peppercorns, garlic and rosemary. Bring to a rolling boil and remove the rosemary, then add the potatoes.
Boil until the potatoes are very soft, then drain them and put them back in the pot - garlic and peppercorns and all. Let them sit and steam for about 5 minutes.
Add the dairy and mash until creamy. I use a hand masher but you could use a hand mixer as well. Serve with a steak and a big glass of good red wine!

| Individual Sweet Potato Gratins with Creme Fraiche, Onions, |
¤ÀÃþ: ¥¼¤ÀÃþ |
Author Notes: My boyfriend is an overall carb hater (I never thought that was possible), but he's a sucker for sweet potatoes. The bacon gets crisp and the onions get soft and make this gratin super delicious. Individual portions mean I can make a big batch, and reheat it later as a last-minute side dish.

Food52 Review: Sweet potatoes are often made even more sweet using ingredients like maple syrup, brown sugar, molasses, and even marshmallows. We like that apartmentcooker goes definitively in the other direction by adding bacon, parmesan, onion, garlic and a crème fra?che bechamel, while still paying homage to more traditional recipes (she adds a tablespoon of brown sugar to the bechamel, with delightful results). Thinly sliced sweet potatoes are layered in the baking dish (we used one dish big enough for two rather than individual ones) with bechamel, crisped bacon, and raw onions and garlic, which infuse the gratin with their fragrance. A sprinkling of parmesan on top helps with browning, but if you want a little more color, pop the gratin under the broiler for a few minutes at the end. We found that 20-25 minutes baking time was perfect for a two-person baking dish.
Serves 2
4 pieces bacon, diced
1/2 cup onion, diced
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
2 cups sweet potatoes, thinly sliced (1/8" thick)
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
1 cup whole milk
3 tablespoons creme fraiche
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 tablespoon brown sugar
salt and black pepper, to taste
parmesan cheese, grated, to taste
Lightly grease 2 individual baking dishes (I used a bowl that holds roughly 1 1/2 cups). Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
In a small saute pan, cook the bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove from heat, and toss with onion and garlic.
In a small pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour, and cook until the mixture is well combined but still pale. Stir in the milk and the creme fraiche.
Reduce the heat to low and bring the bechamel to a simmer. Stir in nutmeg, brown sugar, salt, and pepper.
Layer 4-6 slices of potato at the base of each of the prepared baking dishes. Top with a few tablespoons of bechamel, and a few spoonfuls of the bacon mixture. Repeat with another layer of potatoes, another layer of bechamel, and more bacon. Top with one last layer of potatoes, and spoon remaining bechamel over the top. Finish with a sprinkling of grated parmesan cheese.
Bake the gratins until they are bubbly around the edges and cooked through, about 15-20 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.

| Toasted Farro Salad with Roasted Leeks and Root Vegetables |
¤ÀÃþ: Dream beauty pro |

Toasted farro tossed with supple browned leeks, roasted turnips and rutabagas, lemony farmer's cheese, and lots of herbs is just the right kind of light dinner or hearty lunch for late winter. Though this salad is just lovely warm, its hearty ingredients hold up nicely in the fridge, too -- so make enough for leftovers mathconcept. - Elizabeth Stark
Serves 4
2 leeks
2 medium turnips, trimmed, peeled, and sliced into 1/2 inch-thick half moons
1 large rutabaga, trimmed, peeled, and sliced into 1/2 inch-thick half moons
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided
Sea salt, to taste
Ground black pepper, to taste
3/4 cup dry farro
Zest of 1 lemon plus 2 tablespoons juice
1/4 cup minced parsley, divided
2 tablespoons minced dill, divided
1/4 cup crumbled farmer's cheese
Preheat the oven to 400° F. Move oven shelf to the top third of the oven. For easy cleanup, line one large and one small baking sheet with parchment.
Trim the dark green section from the leeks Mathnasium, and halve lengthwise. Immerse leeks in water and shake out any sand and excess water. Trim the roots, and cut each half into 3-inch segments. In a medium-sized bowl, toss the leeks with 2 tablespoons olive oil, sea salt, and pepper. Spread the leeks out on the small baking sheet.

| This Mystery Winter Fruit Will Win You Over |
¤ÀÃþ: veuve clicquot |
You may have come across a funny looking fruit while roaming around the farmer's market or puttering through the produce isle at the grocery store these last couple of months. Golden yellow in tone, with a knobby and irregular shape, it looks something like a cross between an apple and a pear Dream beauty pro. While closely related to both, this odd-looking fruit isn't either: It's a quince.
First, let's get the dire warnings out of the way: You don't want to just bite into this thing. It might look like a knobbly apple, but when raw, the flesh is way too tannic and puckery. But take a sniff: The fruit smells like a cross between apple, pineapple, and vanilla, and that's the flavor you'll taste once you cook the fruit. Quince even turn pink when cooked, almost like they're trying to encourage you to cook them.
Yep, quince deserves to be the iconic fruit of winter because, unlike some other fruits, it actually only works in cozy, comforting cooked-fruit desserts. The season for quince is short, from mid-fall to the end of the year, so get your hands on a bagful while you still can. Here's a few of our favorite recipes showcasing the fruit:
Apple and Quince Crisp with Rum Raisins
This simple, crowd-pleasing crisp is best served with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream Dream beauty pro. It's a great gateway dessert for quince newbies, since the fruit is paired with more-familiar apples. Rum-soaked raisins make this fruit crisp extra special.
Quince Poached in Cardamom Syrup
Poaching is the most popular way to cook quince and the easiest way to bring out all of its wonderful qualities. Here, slices are poached with plenty of citrus slices and cardmom pods. The result is tender and spicy, perfect served as a light dessert with fresh whipped cream or over your morning Greek yogurt.
Mascarpone Cheesecake with Quince Compote
White wine-poached quince becomes a delicious compote to spoon over this no-bake cheesecake made rich from mascarpone. Reducing the poaching liquid not only helps thicken the compote but it also intensifies its flavor.
Lamb Chops with Poached Quince and Balsamic Pan Sauce
This is a recipe that shows just how versatile quince can be. Just like apples and pears, its sweetness is a great contrast to savory, meaty dishes. Here Dream beauty pro, quince is poached with thyme and served over pan-seared lamb chops.
Quince and Currant Chutney
This is a recipe that shows just how versatile quince can be. Just like apples and pears, its sweetness is a great contrast to savory, meaty dishes. Here, quince is poached with thyme and served over pan-seared lamb chops.
Quince and Currant Chutney

While we love a good apple tarte Tatin, after swapping out apples for quince, we may have a new favorite. The best part about this twist on the classic French dessert? Unlike apple tarte Tatin, where you have to make the traditional caramel that coats the tart's skillet separately, here it's made simply by reducing the quince poaching liquid. |

So I’m in the supermarket line with my basket of groceries mathconcept.
The man in front of me unloads his basket, then dumps his plastic basket on top of the neat stack of other shopping baskets.
But instead of nesting it snugly within the other baskets, he just drops his basket on top, askew and cock-eyed, handles facing upward.
So I need to put my basket down to re-arrange his basket so I can set mine down inside and unload it.
This happens to me all the time.
Obviously he set his basket in there before me, and the person before him was kind (and smart) enough to do it properly.
Right?
Or…he had to adjust the others (like I’m gonna have to) and maybe afterwards, like any normal, thinking person who walks upright and not on all fours Mathnasium, do you think he might realize…
“Gee, wouldn’t it be nice of me to stack my basket properly for the next person, not like that idiot in front of me?”

The Sta. Rita Hills Winegrowers Alliance held its annual Wine & Fire event in August of 2013. The festivities began on Friday evening with a reception at the Sanford & Benedict barn (the former winery) in the Sanford & Benedict Vineyard, where over two dozen winemakers poured library wines and current releases from their Sta. Rita Hills appellation The Beauty. People mingled from late afternoon through dusk and into dark, sampling the various wines. Saturday morning, it was seminar time. We began with a seminar on Chardonnay, followed by a rousing discussion of Pinot Clone 115. The evening featured a grand tasting on the grounds of the La Purisima Mission.
Join us as we listen to the first of two seminars – this one on the future of Chardonnay in the Sta. Rita Hills. Could it be that this is actually better terroir for Chardonnay The Beauty, rather than Pinot Noir? Panelists include: Steve Clifton (Brewer-Clifton), Ken Brown (Ken Brown Wines), Richard Sanford (Alma Rosa), Christine Bruce (Hilliard Bruce), Leslie Mead Renaud (Foley Estate Vineyards), and Antonio Moretti (Moretti Wines), with Josh Raynolds from Stephen Tanzer’s International Wine Cellar doing the moderating The Beauty. |

| Touch of Grace Biscuits |
¤ÀÃþ: Handmade accessories |
I’ve always had a thing for biscuits. Now that I live in NYC, where finding a good biscuit can be a bit challenging, I appreciate them even more.
Earlier this year, I was fortunate to be invited to spend a couple of days in Nashville with White Lily and Martha White. We cooked up a veritable biscuit storm down there ! We tried several different recipes for biscuits, all of them delicious. While I love big, fluffy buttermilk biscuits, I fell in love with these Touch of Grace Biscuits.
I’ve been baking these at every opportunity since that trip. And, as September is National Biscuit Month, this is the perfect time to share these beauties with you!

So, what makes these so special? To me, it’s all about the texture. They are soft and light and just a joy to eat. Of course, all that buttermilk and cream is a pretty good thing Cloud Hosting, too. These are the biscuits I make when I want to slather biscuits with jam. Or, just eat them straight out of the pan. Believe me, that works, too.
A word of warning when making these…. Once you get the dough mixed, you may think you’ve done something terribly wrong. It looks a bit like, well, cottage cheese. But, just go with it. When they come out of the oven, you’ll have beautiful, glorious biscuits like you’ve never had before Payroll Outsourcing Services. Enjoy!

¤ÀÃþ: ¥¼¤ÀÃþ |

Schrambling_110704_spanish feast at donna gelb'sIMG_3461Presentation is not my forte. I also think the best piece of dedicated kitchenware is the piece that can do double duty. So consider this a "nailing two thoughts with one post" post: I'm finally getting around to recommending my friend Donna's genius use of a mini-gratin dish as an olive "bowl Dream beauty pro hard sell."
Not only does it make the olives look more inviting, maybe because you don't envision fingers digging through a narrow heap, or because they're laid out the way fancy watches are, on take-in-all-the-features display.
But it also justifies owning these dishes. I didn't ask how she came into possession of them, although it was probably through recipe development and styling (she most recently did Francis Mallmann's Seven Fires). I got mine maybe 20 years ago when my in-law equivalents would grill my consort on what to over-gift me at Christmas and he would dutifully grill me. I love deviled crab, so why not own dedicated dishes business license hong kong?
We have a dedicated olive bowl from Provence, complete with pit holder, but I've been pondering for years why people don't eat what we set out in it. Inevitably there will be only one or two pits at the end of the evening. Next time I spring for olives, I guess I should dust off the gratin dishes The Best Beauty Center.

Books on the Fat-Burning Diet
The New! Abs Diet by David Zinczenko
Although billed as a "diet," this book puts the spotlight on a workout program of 245 "body-reshaping exercises," along with a diet plan featuring "12 best foods to burn fat." No surprises here: fat-free dairy, lean meats, green vegetables, whole grains, almonds, eggs, and protein powder and berries for your smoothie. Green tea and water replace alcohol and soda.
The Flat Belly Diet! and Flat Belly Diet! Cookbook by Liz Vaccariello and Cynthia Sass
The secret to shedding belly flab without crunches or cardio is simply to add a bit of monounsaturated fat (MUFA) to every meal, according to the authors. Accordingly, almonds Amethyst earrings, olive oil, or avocados accompany almost every meal in the book. However, we suspect that results will have less to do with MUFA magic and more to do with the very low 1,200-calorie diet the book prescribes.
From Belly Fat to Belly Flat by C. W. Randolph, M.D., and Genie James
The idea here is that stubborn belly fat in both men and women is the result of hormonal imbalance caused by overexposure to estrogenic substances in the diet and environment. Emphasizing foods that reduce estrogen dominance (cruciferous veggies, citrus fruit, wheat bran, and flaxseed) restores balance and flattens your belly, the authors contend. Foods to avoid include saturated fats, simple carbs, caffeine, alcohol, and soy.
The L.A. Shape Diet by David Heber
This 14-day program includes a "personalized protein prescription" based on your body type. Then, dust off that blender and get to work. Most of the variety on this diet will come from what kind of fruit you put in the smoothies that you'll be drinking for breakfast and lunch every day.

Healthy Thai Recipes and Spa Secrets  |

Get nutritious Southeast Asian recipes—plus tips from the chef at the renowned Chiva-Som spa in Thailand
By Megan O. Steintrager
Healthy Thai Recipes: Thai-Style Chicken Soup with Basil, Squid and Pork Noodle Salad calories app, Thai Chicken Salad with Rice Noodles, Thai Chicken-Coconut Soup
T oo often Thai restaurants in the United States serve food that you'd be hard-pressed to dub wholesome: deep-fried spring rolls, meat-heavy curries swimming in coconut milk, and greasy stir-fried noodles. But authentic Thai cuisine features tons of healthy ingredients, including an abundance of antioxidant-packed spices and fresh herbs, raw or lightly cooked vegetables, and heart-friendly seafood.
While many Thai dishes are inherently healthy and low in calories (Green Papaya Salad with Shrimp, for example), with a few clever substitutions or technique tweaks, the list of good-for-you Thai recipes gets even longer. For advice on how to use Thai cooking techniques to create nutritious meals, Epicurious spoke to Paisarn Cheewinsiriwat, the executive chef of Chiva-Som, an award-winning spa in Hua Hin, Thailand. "Thai lifestyle is laid-back, and so is the cooking style," he says—so if you "open your mind and explore some ingredients such as lemongrass, galangal reenex, and sweet basil," you can easily make healthy Thai food at home.
Read on for Cheewinsiriwat's tips, plus recipes from the spa's cookbook, Chiva-Som's Thai Spa Cuisine (available from Chiva-Som's Web site) and from Epicurious.
Use Herbs and Spices to Add Low-Cal Flavor and Antioxidants
Herbs and spices give dishes a nutritional boost and pump up the flavor without adding sodium, fat, or a lot of calories. Spicy-hot foods (chiles, chile sauce) may also boost your metabolism and fight inflammation (see our guide to anti-inflammatory diets to learn about this concept). "Fresh herbs and spices used in Thai cooking—such as turmeric, galangal, coriander, lemongrass, and fresh chiles—have antioxidants and immune-boosting properties," says Cheewinsiriwat. He adds, "At Chiva-Som, we use a lot of lemongrass for many recipes, as it can help to detoxify." Chiva-Som's Thai Spa Cuisine says the reedlike herb has antiseptic properties, is a mild diuretic, and can help treat stomachaches, fevers, flu, coughs, and headaches.
recipes to try:
Thai Chicken and Shrimp Noodle Salad
Thai-Style Chicken Soup with Basil
Squid and Pork Noodle Salad
Balance Flavors Instead of Adding Fattening Ingredients
"Combinations of sweet, sour, salty, tanginess, and an assortment of chiles are used in typical [Thai] dishes," says Cheewinsiriwat. The concept of balancing these key flavors is so important in Southeast Asian cooking that James Beard Award–winning cookbook authors Jeffrey Alford and Naomi Duguid named their cookbook about the cuisines along the Mekong River Hot Sour Salty Sweet. "Know how to blend ingredients to excite and activate the senses," advises Cheewinsiriwat. Remember that there are more ways to add flavor and dimension to your meal than burying it in caloric ingredients like butter, cream Metro Ethernet Provider, oil, and cheese. Instead, try a dish such as the Thai Salad with Flank Steak below made with Thai chiles (hot), lime juice and grapefruit (sour), low-sodium soy sauce and fish sauce (salty), and honey and orange juice (sweet). If you are worried about consuming too much sodium and sugar, remember that it only takes a little bit of the salty or sweet ingredients to balance the tart and hot ones.
recipes to try:
Thai Chicken Salad with Rice Noodles
Hollywood Thai Beef Salad
Stir-Fried Pork with Long Beans
Eat More Produce, Less Meat
Meat plays a minor role in most Thai dishes—it's used more as a garnish than as the centerpiece of the meal. "Asian diets generally use meat sparingly, sometimes almost as a flavor enhancer," says Cheewinsiriwat. "This way our cooking involves less animal fats, so [there is] lower risk of cancer and heart disease." He recommends making 50 to 60 percent of your meal green vegetables—"while the remaining portions can be adjusted for protein and carbohydrates depending on your health needs and goals." Think about where you can substitute tofu, vegetables, or fish for meat. "For example, on a kebab stick, replace two of the four chunks of meat with mushrooms," says Cheewinsiriwat. He also advises looking to vegetables, fruits, beans, and whole grains such as brown rice, oats, and whole-grain bread and pasta for your carbs. "Easily digested carbohydrates from white bread, white rice, pastries, sugary sodas, and other highly processed foods may contribute to weight gain, interfere with weight loss, and promote diabetes and heart disease."
recipes to try:
Spicy Thai Tofu with Red Bell Peppers and Peanuts
Thai-Spiced Watermelon Soup with Crabmeat
Spiced and Sour Mushroom Soup
Steam, Grill, and "Stir-Fry" Without Oil—Don't Deep-Fry
Deep-frying is not allowed at Chiva-Som. Instead, grilling and steaming are advocated, and for "stir-frying" Cheewinsiriwat uses vegetable stock instead of oil in recipes such as stir-fried pumpkin. Lightly cooking ingredients this way allows them to maintain their flavor, texture, and nutritional value, he explains. "By using vegetable stock, we can infuse flavor into the food and avoid consumption of oil such as trans fats and saturated fats, which contribute to heart disease and free radical damage and raise bad cholesterol [levels]."
recipes to try:
Stir-Fried Pumpkin with Chiles and Basil
Herb-Grilled Chicken Breasts, Thai Style
Vegetable Summer Rolls
Consider Coconut Milk
While coconut milk—a key ingredient in creamy Thai curries—suffered a bad health image for a long time because of its high caloric content (one cup has 445 calories, according to Nutrition Data) and large amount of saturated fat, it has recently been gaining attention for possible health benefits. Cheewinsiriwat claims it has anti-aging properties and that it may play a role in improving cholesterol levels. And according to an article on Nutrition Data, coconut oil contains "natural phytosterols, which can help to reduce cholesterol levels by blocking the cellular uptake of cholesterol." Nutrition Data's chief nutritionist, Monica Reinagel, notes that the jury is still out on the role of saturated fat (and the sources of those fats) in heart disease, and that the medical literature on the subject of coconut oil and health is "limited, inconclusive, and contradictory." While there's not enough evidence of the healthfulness of coconut oil and milk for us to recommend you use a lot, a small amount makes curries and soups extremely satisfying, so you're less likely to overeat. Also experiment with low-fat coconut milk (usually marketed as "light"), which has less saturated fat and fewer calories. |

For a while the memoir with recipes was a very popular genre. These days there are quite a few memoir cookbooks that offer much more than just a recipe per chapter electric motor dc. They are books you may or may not actually cook from, but you will read them and savor every page because their authors are compelling characters with fascinating journeys and stories to tell.
Top of the list for me is Coi. If Daniel Patterson is equal parts culinary genius and awkward social misfit, this book gets to the root of it, in a very soul baring way. He also just happens to be a fantastic writer. The format of the book is completely unique. Long essays on each page are paired with stunning photos and recipes written “longhand” I’d say, with the pesky details like measurements relegated to the index. Sure, it’s tweezer food that you might never cook, but that's beside the point. Each dish comes with so much background and story, it’s a fascinating ride. I really adore this book. Take a look at this preview of the book from Eater to get a better feel for it.
Nigel Slater’s Notes from the Larder is described as a kitchen diary. It’s organized chronologically, almost day by day. Each day gets a journal like entry and a recipe. It’s nearly impossible to use in a conventional manner, unless you resort to the index. But it’s well worth reading nonetheless. Perfect bed time reading really, because you can take in little bits at a time and be inspired and entertained by the wit, wisdom and insight of Slater, along with the heavenly photos and mostly easy peasy recipes for things like Lamb and Mushroom Flatbread, Five Spice Chicken and Pea Shoot Salad, Apricot Couscous, and Blackberry and Hazelnut Cakes (only 7 ingredients!). That should make for sweet dreams.
I met Ivan Orkin, the author of Ivan Ramen and was lucky enough to try his food at the CIA Worlds of Flavor conference in Napa a few years ago. His ramen shops are a sensation in Tokyo, and now he is opening a shop in NYC. But if his ramen is a revelation, so is his story with lots of drama and twists and turns. I don’t want to give away even the tiniest bit of his saga. Just read this book! You can also make his recipes, but honestly veuve clicquot, even if you don’t, you won’t be able to put this book down. Enough said.
Another fascinating character I met at a CIA Worlds of Flavor conference was Roy Choi of Kogi BBQ and Korean taco fame. A classically trained chef, it was when he reconnected with his roots that he went from struggling corporate chef to finding his true calling. His story told in L.A Son: My Life, My City, My Food is about growing up as an immigrant in LA, flirting with drugs and gambling and the roller coaster ride of food trucks and restaurants. The recipes fall into the categories of Mexican, Korean and guilty pleasure. Carne Asada, Korean Carpaccio, Ghetto Pillsbury Fried Donuts, Korean-Style Braised Short-Rib Stew, Perfect Instant Ramen, Coconut Clam Chowder. Really the whole book is a guilty pleasure.
While Orkin and Choi are very much on trend and of the moment, Anne Willan is old school. The founder of the famed La Varenne cooking school in France, she is an accomplished cooking teacher, food writer and cookbook author. Her latest book, One Souffle at a Time, is a memoir with recipes, fifty of them in all. It’s a book for Francophiles and those who enjoy anecdotes about Julia Child, James Beard, Craig Claiborne, and other American, French and British food writers and luminaries primarily from the 70’s and 80’s. It turns out Willan is not just a great cooking teacher, but a great story teller as well.
Last but not least is a “not cookbook” 50 Foods, The Essentials of Good Taste by Edward Behr, one of the best food writers around. But don't take my word for it, read an excerpt. Equally authoritative and opinionated, you can’t help but learn something when reading what Behr has to say. In this encyclopedic style reference book he shares his picks for favored ingredients along with how to buy, what complements the ingredient and “notes on wine.” His picks? Things like Asparagus, Cabbage, Chestnuts, Goose, Honey, Lemons, Pears, Potatoes, Strawberries and Sweetbreads. No recipes, but lots of useful information that will make you a better cook. The illustrations are really appealing in this book cristal champagne.
Giveaway!
I am giving away one copy of 50 Foods, The Essentials of Good Taste by Edward Behr, courtesy of the publisher, Penguin Press. Leave me a comment telling me your favorite nightstand cookbook or culinary memoir. One entry per person and mailing address must be in the US. Winner will be chosen at random on January 10, 2014 noon PST. |

The year past seems to be bursting at the seams with our happiness…even in the midst of many (many!!!) sleepless nights, tired-to-the-bone days, and instances of parental insecurity and uncertainty (we’ve had our share of those too!).
At this one year mark, I can’t help but look back and examine how I did as a mum so far. I’ve tried to give the best of myself, filled her bottles and bowls with what I feel are good things how to start a company in hong kong, protect her but also give her many opportunities for discovery and exploration. I’ve put the things I love, that I hope she learns to love, in her path – books, good food, snuggles (and more than the occasional kitchen demonstration). There are definitely things I might have done differently, in retrospect. An adjustment here and there, a little more diligent here, and little less stringent there. But on the whole, none too shabby I think…I hope.
And on her first year birthday, I baked a cake Domestic Helpe. Nothing earth-shattering, but something that I believe the mum I want to be would do.
In my search for this first birthday cake I looked through all my cookbooks, magazines, and bookmarked cake files. I wanted something special but simple. Nothing over the top (no 3-tier princess cakes please) but something worthy of holding that momentous single candle. As fate would have it I found that very cake on another food blog – a cake baked as a birthday cake (or future birthday cake) by a girl who was expecting her first baby (who at this writing has already celebrated that all-important 1st birthday). It was the classic of all classic birthday cakes – a yellow cake with chocolate frosting. You don’t get any more simple-but-well-loved than that. You can find the recipe HERE. If you find yourself in need of a birthday cake I implore you to give this one a try – it is perfect…moist, light and vanilla-buttery. In my pre-party test-bakes I made it both in layer cake and cupcake forms and both turned out wonderful. The recipe makes two 9-inch round, 2-inch tall cake layers, but I made two 8-inch cake layers and a dozen cupcakes instead.
I used a different frosting from the one paired with the cake originally as it was not holding up too well in my warm-humid native climate. I finally settled on the recipe below which is adapted from the Cupcake Bakeshop. I love that it uses 3 kinds of chocolate that you adjust based on your taste. The recipe below uses my preferred quantities for the different chocolates, but you can find the original recipe here.
Fudge Frosting
(Adapted from the Cupcake Bakeshop)
9 oz bittersweet chocolate
4 oz unsweetened chocolate
3 oz semi sweet chocolate
2 sticks (one cup) unsalted butter
5 cups powdered (confectioners) sugar
Pinch salt
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 cup whole milk
- Melt the chocolate and the butter in a double boiler and stir until smooth. Set aside to cool.
- Sift the powdered sugar and salt into a bowl.
- Combine the milk and vanilla.
- Add the milk/vanilla mixture to the sugar/salt and whisk until incorporated.
- Add the melted chocolate to the milk/sugar mixture and whisk until smooth.
- Chill the mixture in the fridge. When chilled whisk again until fluffy.
I am so happy with the way the cake turned out, but more importantly I am so happy I actually made it. I’m sure all mothers have different (and many!) moments they mark that define themselves as mums. Baking little C’s birthday cake was definitely one of mine.
Happy birthday once again my little cherry bomb! You spin me right round baby and mama wouldn’t have it any other way :)
To everyone else…I hope you are having a fantastic holiday season! |
