Photo of the Day: Flying Dumplings

During a dumpling-making party I held at my apartment last weekend (featuring Michele Humes' recipe), I got this neat shot of my friend Greg as he pan-fried the dumplings.* If you squint a little you can kind of pretend that the dumplings are flying out of the pan like a flock of birds. ...Use your imagination, people. * Some dumplings may have fallen on the floor shortly after this photo was taken....

Photo of the Day: '$169 a Pound'

Jamón Ibérico de bellota. At $169 a pound, this is definitely a treat in this day and age. Gastrodamus says, "Let a piece sit on your tongue for a little bit to really taste the different flavors. The acorn flavor is in the fat. Should be thinly sliced with a knife, not with a machine." [via The Serious Eats Flickr Pool]... More

Photo of the Day: Field of Wasabi

That's not just any field; it's a field of your nasal passage's worst nightmare. Kayoko of Umami Mart took a photo of a field of fresh wasabi while visiting Joren waterfall in Izu, Japan. If you visit there, you can buy fresh wasabi stems and wasabi-flavored soft serve. Related: Photo of the Day: Rice Field... More

Photo of the Day: The Perfect Bite

Photograph from stickygooeychef on Flickr Methinks the English would approve of this perfect bite of Caesar salad from food blog, Sticky, Gooey, Creamy, Chewy. That's quite a tidy stack of lettuce, tomato, and steak. Related: Snapshots from the UK: How the English Eat... More

Photo of the Day: Gerrit's Satellite Wafers

I love the retro illustration on this box of Gerrit's Satellite Wafers, even if I have no idea what's going on. Snow capped mountains? Check. Giant tongue-wagging sun? Check. And...is that a crown peeking out from behind the satellite wafers? Uh. What? Okay. I could've owned this lovely box for just $9.95 from Economy Candy, my favorite candy store in New York City, but as I find Satellite Wafers to be one of the most pointless candies I've ever eaten, I couldn't do it. But if you like eating flavorless styrofoam-like wafers filled with 5% sour powder and 95% air, then go for it.... More

Photo of the Day: Salad Dressing Cake

Photograph from cakespy on Flickr At first glance, I thought Jessie Oleson of Cakespy made a cake-topped version of candy salad, but it's a cake on top of a real salad—and the cake batter contains mayonnaise. Are you cringing? Jessie says this: If you're disgusted by this cake but you're one of the many who indulged in bacon-flavored baked goods in the past year, you take a long look at yourself in the mirror before you judge the mayo cake. Because what makes up mayonnaise—egg yolks, oil, vinegar—is all stuff that would go into a cake anyway. She said it was "the most dense, moist, rich cake we've ever made." Sounds good to me!

Photo of the Day: Retro Christmas Cookies

Photograph from Sarah Serendipity on Flickr If cookies were to congregate on a wooden surface for something really important in the cookie world, this might be the result. They seem to be paying homage to the center oatmeal lace one, which is clearly a deity in the cookie community. Though not all are pictured, this was part of one woman's 40-ish dozen retro cookies baking project, inspired by a recent Gourmet spread. You can make the same volume with 10 pounds of flour, five pounds of butter, a lot of sugar, and some swearing.

Photo of the Day: Potluck Plate

Photograph from jasonlam on Flickr Holiday potlucks bring together foods of all colors, nations, and flavors. When else would this slice-and-bake snowman cookie get to sit on a pile of pasta, near a salad and what appears to be a black bean patty? Jason Lam of Me So Hungry has the right potluck strategy—just pile it all on good.... More

Photo of the Day: Jack and Jill Cupcake

Photograph from abbietabbie on Flickr It's hard to believe that Christine Hamilton, abbietabbie on Flickr, only makes cakes as a hobby considering how beautiful her cake designs are. Her intricately detailed Jack and Jill cupcake as part of her nursery rhymes series is particularly eye-catching.
