Best Bread pairing for Barbeque?
My friends are having a Barbecue themed dinner. Barbecue is not part of our regional food here, so I am not sure what bread will go best. Suggestions?

What We Ate on the Trans-Siberian Railway
This is why I love Serious Eats. Where else would have happened across an article written about this trip from a Food perspective?! Love it!
Eat This Cheese: Délice de Bourgogne
By far my favorite guilty pleasure cheese. Now I want some!
Congee (Rice Porridge) with Minced Pork and Crispy Shallots
Delicious! I can't wait to make this. Congee is so underappreciated in our culture.
Vegetarian: Hearty Winter Minestrone with Chili Oil, Lemon Zest and Parmesan
I am so spoiled. We don't have cable but we have digital so we get the create channel. It's full of wonderful cooking shows. Jacques, Lidia, ATK, Rick, Ming. And a rotation of many other very educational cooking shows. Lidia is becoming my favorite....for all the same reasons...
How do I cook bear meat?
We braise it, make jerky after cooking it first, chili, sausage, bolognese and stew. We hunt black bear, never had brown bear. Berry fed bears are much tastier than salmon fed bears. Check Alaska Outdoor Journal under the hunting forums. Bet they've got lots of ideas.
Cook the Book: 'True Blood'
Popcorn balls!
Cook the Book: 'The River Cottage Fish Book'
Smoked, eaten as is! Best food EVER!

What's on the Easter table?
Fresh pan seared halibut, pasta primavera, and a strawberry tart. Simple, but perfect.
Restaurants in Fairbanks, Alaska, in February
My Husband seconded College Town Pizza and Gambardella's. Personally I enjoyed Lavell's. The good news is it's warmed up considerably!
Restaurants in Fairbanks, Alaska, in February
Silver Gulch Brewing Company in Fox. Its just a few minutes out of town and worth the trip. The Cookie Jar for Breakfast, definitely. The Pump House is a local favorite.
Football-schmootball--What did you eat yesterday?
slow cooker bbq moose, on kaiser rolls with cheese. Homemade hummus, berry crisp and lots of local beer...
Bake the Book: 'Handheld Pies'
Key lime or lemon! Yum!
Salmon Head Soup
And as an Alaskan I approve! I have been looking for a great recipe like this!
Nasty outside..Cozy inside. So what are you cooking?
Record snow here. Shepard's pie for easy reheating ( so much shoveling!). And chicken picante fetticine to warm up. Finished the evening with bourbon and a box of chocolates! Let it snow!
I would love to know guilty food pleasures!!
White bread mayo American cheese and Liverwurst. My Mother was German, what can I say? Her favorite? Rye bread, raw onion, bacon fat and Liverwurst. I may have to run out to the market...Haven't had one in years!
What did you eat when you had a newborn?
Warm, Easy to eat and easy to digest so you get max nutrition. Soups you can sip, and anything made with beef will increase milk supply. Cooked fruits with oatmeal and crockpot/roasted veggies were great to keep digestion happy...
Cook the Book: 'The Occasional Vegetarian'
Vegetable curry!
What should I eat while I'm in China?
The fresh fruit dipped in hard candy at the markets! Especially the pineapple! And the three treasures of earth, potatoes, eggplant, and peppers. Makes me want to go!

Snapshots from Hong Kong: Dim Sum at Tim Ho Wan, aka the World's Cheapest Michelin-starred Restaurant
I knew my trip to Hong Kong wouldn't be complete without at least one dim sum meal. But how do you choose where to go in a city with hundreds of dim sum choices? Maybe narrow it down to Michelin-starred restaurants. Maybe super narrow it down to the cheapest Michelin-starred restaurant in the world: Tim Ho Wan. More

Make-Ahead Spring Vegetable Soup with Pesto
If your office is anything like mine, which is to say, offensively freezing given the calendar date, then you likely share my affinity for soup in warm weather. Leeks, fennel, peas and spring onions make this something of a spring vegetable kitchen sink soup, so you can feel like spring while shivering at your desk. More

Shauna James Ahern's Zucchini Noodles with Spinach Pesto, Feta, and Sunflower Seeds
It was with trepidation that I approached the pasta chapter of Shauna James Ahern's new cookbook Gluten-Free Girl Every Day. Most of the pasta recipes in the book call for store-bought pasta. (She does include one recipe for gluten-free fresh pasta, but doesn't provide an assembled recipe using it.) While I'm sure that gluten-free pasta options have improved significantly since that fateful quinoa noodle disaster, I wasn't sure I wanted to mess up dinner with a poor grocery store choice. Instead, I turned to this recipe for zucchini "noodles." While many may scoff at the idea of replacing carbo-goodness with healthy raw veggies, I find thinly sliced vegetables to be a fine vehicle for pasta sauce, especially one as vibrant and flavorful as Ahern's spinach pesto.

While many may scoff at the idea of replacing carbo-goodness with healthy raw veggies, I find thinly sliced vegetables to be a fine vehicle for pasta sauce, especially one as vibrant and flavorful as Ahern's spinach pesto. It is brilliantly green from the spinach and has a robust blend of Gruyère, feta, and lemon juice: perfect for tossing with zucchini. More
Indian Prawn Patties
They take minutes to make and seconds to polish off. Prawn patties, or Kolmi Na Kavaab, makes quite an impression on a dinner table and is a good dish to have in your repertoire if you're a newbie in the kitchen. More

This complex vegetarian curry has a multilayered profile and a genuine kick from the cumin seeds, cardamom, cinnamon, fresh garlic, ginger, onion, paprika and cayenne pepper. More
Snapshots from the 3rd Annual Hecho en San Francisco
Cinco de Mayo may be a bigger deal in San Francisco than it is in Mexico. On Sunday, we headed over to the third annual Hecho de Mayo at the Ferry Building for tequila and tacos with proceeds going to CUESA and La Cocina. Check out photos from the event! More
Herb Ricotta Gnocchi With Quick Tomato Sauce
I call ricotta gnocchi "fast food" Italian, as with just a little practice, you can make ricotta gnocchi in as little time as it takes you to boil the water to cook them in. This really is a dish, sauce included, that can be prepared and cooked in under 30 minutes which makes it a fabulous choice for busy mid-week meals. More

Jeweled Brown Basmati Rice and Quinoa (Morassa Polo) from 'The New Persian Kitchen'
Jeweled rice is a magnificent dish. Adorned with dried fruit, toasted nuts, rose petals, and pomegranate seeds, it is a panoply of flavors and colors. In Lousia Shafia's The New Persian Kitchen, the jeweled rice is made even more compelling with a combination of grains included. The mixture of quinoa and brown basmati rice adds an earthy complexity to the dish that counters the sweet and rich flavors from the toppings. More
Muffuletta Grilled Cheese
I don't get it. Why wouldn't you want to add cold cuts and spicy olive salad to the middle of your grilled cheese sandwich? More
The Food Lab Mini: Crispy Taco Shells Made of Cheese? Yes!
In their 2011 post about "Italian Tacos", the folks from Ideas in Food fry a slice of provolone cheese on the griddle until it's a deep golden brown, then fold it over a rolling pin, tuile-style, and let it harden into the shape of a little crispy taco shell before stuffing it with fried mortadella and pickled peppers. It looks delicious. I decided to use the same technique to up my breakfast taco game. More
What We Ate on the Trans-Siberian Railway

Serious Entertaining: A Spring Grilling Menu
Dang, was it hot on wednesday! The perfect excuse to spend a day out of the office to dive head first into recipe development for the upcoming grilling season. I can't help it. When the weather is nice. I WILL be out on my deck with a fire lit. It's not quite hot enough yet to break out the burgers and beers for a full-on deck party (for some reason, it needs to be either sweltering or snowing before I really want to grill burgers), but spring is the ideal time for a casual al fresco meal with some close friends and loved ones.

Servers not closing the deal. Service is awesome up through entree, and then it's like they went home. Having to hunt anyone down for refills, desert, additional drinks, to go containers and the check? AND they have runners that deliver the food? What am I supposed to be tipping for? Taking my order? Obviously a big problem here...
