There’s lots of convergence—harmonic and otherwise this week. Food and Wine Magazine announced its 2012 Best New Chefs, one of the most prestigious awards in the food world (local luminaries such as SethBixby Daugherty, Tim McKee, and Stewart Woodman are among the recent past designees). Chefs such as Bloomfield, Keller, Chang, Boulud, Bouley, and Matsuhisa are past winners as well. I am thrilled for Kluger,…
Christmas Red Herring
My apologies for not getting some fresh drivel out into the blogosphere last week, I was traveling in a part of the world where I was cut off from access to the Internet, and I have to say it was refreshing to completely detach. There wasn’t even phone service, and while I guess I could have pulled the satellite phone out of the crew case easily…
Thanksgiving Leftovers
OK, kids, here is the one-step way to use up all the rest of your bird after you are done with making soup with the frame and eating sandwiches all day Friday. Finally, we can turn our attention away from the bird and look forward to what you are going to put under my menorah this year. I need socks.
Turkey Tetrazinni
Wanderlust
Tonight on Travel Channel is the Maine episode of Bizarre Foods, marking the television debut of both my son and my dad, and we all get to eat together. Amazing. Plus, a culinary death match with dozens of local Portland chefs, a day of lobstering with Linda Greenlaw, and, of course, plenty of moose and beaver. I love this episode and hope you do, too….
Christmas Time for the Jews
Here are some great holiday treats for everyone looking to celebrate the Festival of Lights. Hanukkah is a great time to share food with friends and family, and I have received dozens of e-mails asking for some great recipes, so here you go. I should tell you, the potato pancakes are so good that posting this recipe alone is a mitzvah of the highest order….
Lost Desserts
How was everyone’s Thanksgiving? My bird was outstanding, thank you for asking, and the stock is made and in the freezer. Huge props to my wife, who has mastered a citrus cranberry sauce that we all are happily addicted to. We’ll get back to our regularly scheduled blogging on Thursday; there is a lot to talk about as we move into December, but here is…
Something Stinks, and It’s Not Your Do-ahead Gravy
In last Wednesday’s Star Tribune, Kevin Diaz reported on Hormel and Cargill CEOs testifying about the modified atmosphere packaging that allows for storing meat and other foods in an oxygen-depleted environment, then pumping the meat with carbon monoxide, making it shelf stable for up to twenty days, and it retains all it’s original bright red color. I have all the respect in the…
Shirred Eggs with Spinach and Croutons
My pal Lucia Watson made this recipe for me the other day—a breakfast treat that she has been serving in the restaurant for years. It is awesome, and the perfect easy-bake X-mas–morning treat that allows for plenty of time to open gifts. I have made this recipe of Lucia’s several times now, subbing leftover roasted vegetables for the spinach, crumbling bacon in it, adding strips…
Hanukkah Recipes
It’s Hanukkah time, everyone!!! Here are two of my favorite recipes for this time of year. I kid you not, the pancakes is the best recipe of its kind I have ever tried. For years I used my grandmother’s recipe, until someone else’s bubbe told me to use some mashed potatoes in my recipe . . . Kenahora! What a mitzvah that was! Enjoy.
