A Sandwich a Day: Eggplant Miso from LAMill Coffee in Los Angeles
My trips to LAMill—an airy, super-hip, super-sleek, coffee oasis in the Silverlake neighborhood of Los Angeles—tend to focus squarely on caffeine consumption. Picking up some beans, sipping on a caffe con leche, an occasional splurge on something siphon dripped. But on a recent visit, the cafe's sandwich menu caught my eye, specifically the Eggplant Miso, and even more specifically the housemade nori focaccia on which this vegetarian creation is served.The Food Lab: All-American Eggplant Parmesan
I chatted with Ed about eggplant parm a bit, and I think he put it best: "the thing is, between eggplant parmesan and lasagna, you almost always want to pick the lasagna, because even at its worst, there's only so bad that meat, tomato sauce, cheese, and noodles can be.

Fish paste probably won't ever reach meat paste levels of popularity in Chinese and Vietnamese cookery—they rely too heavily on it for charcuterie and dumplings—but the pulverized fish and shrimp still plays a fairly prominent role.

They are so small, you can roast them whole, making them in a snap, bypassing the salting step. If you're in the mood for a more substantial vegetarian dish, eggplant is a star with its substantial, meaty flesh. Pureed, the vegetable also makes for a great dip or spread à la baba ghanoush. Look for firm eggplants with a smooth texture and unbroken skin. Store them in a cool, dry environment, but put them in a warmer section (the front) of the fridge if you're not going to eat them within a...What Happens to Mr. Eggplant?
Mr. Eggplant's journey from Providence, Rhode Island, to Brooklyn, New York starts as a relaxing day at the beach but ends in pure horror. Pure, delicious horror! After viewing the eggplant carnage, try out The Brooklyn Kitchen's recipe for ratatouille. Previously Photo of the Day: Eggplant Man...Photo of the Day: Eggplant Man
Photo from brooklynkitchen on Flickr Something about his potbelly reminds me of the similarly rotund—and jovial—Kool-Aid Man. He looks pretty pleasant. One of those types always in the mood for a good barbecue or cold beer. Just don't confuse him with the eponymous Nintendo character, a foe of Mario and Luigi often sporting a metallic mask in the Wrecking Crew game....Hot Topics: Technique of the Week | The Food Lab
