Cook the Book: 'Japanese Hot Pots'

this is so weird, I just went to a shabu shabu place in Brooklyn yesterday. I had a hankering for flash cooker meats and we always see this place is packed. We were given strange looks and menus but I guess they never see two white guys and a handsome indian guy finish a whole pot of hot and spicy broth with a platter of meat in less than half an hour. But overall the place was great and food was so amazing.

Cook the Book: '660 Curries' by Raghavan Iyer

Kinda of hard to pinpoint my first encounter with Indian cuisine since I am Indian, but the first time I remember just being blown away was when I had Indian/Chinese fusion soft shell crab curry in a "Chinese" restaurant in Kerala when I was 8 years old.
The crabs were fried n' crunchy and you could barely discern the shell from the crunchy exterior, and the sauce was slightly sweet but so spicy. It was meant for two people but I finished the entire thing.

Why I Hate 'Hell's Kitchen'

thank you, you hit all the nails right on. this show is so blargh.
this was on last night and I was ragging on it last night when my sister put it on. Finally she said "do you think you can do better?" Right as she said that one of the contestants took a raw lamb rack and just put it in the oven without any seasoning. I said "Yes, yes i can."

I eat ______ out of the tin/jar/bottle...

when I was studying in med school I needed fast calories preferrably with chocolate, which currently explains my unusual ability to chug Hershey's chocolate syrup straight from that jug thing.

also im glad im not the only one with condensed milk problems, I used to open one can for my vietnamese coffee and it would be gone in 2 days from sneaking fingerfuls.

Cook the Book: 'The Barcelona Cookbook'

When my mom bought me a Tapas cookbook when she went to Madrid. We spent an entire day just buying ingredients and making tapas and we proceeded to have Tapas for the next two days for every meal. There was even recipes for multicultural tapas including German Tapas- Olives and "Pickeled" Potatos, Chinese- Cured 5 spice Pork on softbread, Italian- Basil Tomatoes and Aged thin slices of Parm, it was awesome. : P***

What Weird Family Foods Did You Grow Up Thinking Were Normal?

I grew up in an Indian household, so i never ate cereal or any sweet stuff like that for breakfast. It was always masala cooked eggs with onions, eggs, bacon, and beans with a bunch of spices, or chicken curry with naan. Now adays it still weirds me out that people eat cereal for breakfast while i eat it for dessert.

Cook the Book: Eugenia Bone's 'Well-Preserved'

i hate to say it but bitter gourd/bitter melon in a green chile fenugreek pickle. Its a south indian thing. We also grew scotch bonnets and jalapenos that were both deadly. Those peppers mixed and preserved makes for a killer spicy sauce for pretty much everything.

Currently I crave the Thai Suki after reading all this. I'm sad that I never see it in the states. My fav place in Thailand is MK restaurants. Super cold restaurant, super hot soup!

Cook the Book: 'Japanese Hot Pots'

homemade soups, starting with meat bones and ending with seasonal vegetables....the best! takes hours to simmer on the stove...but the end results are used in so many meals...the simplest being laddled into a big bowl and with a crusty bread on the side.

My favorite meal worthy soup would be homemade bean soup with ham and bacon in it. I make it with a ham bone and let it simmer for about 3 hours. Very tasty and filling. I also like my mom's homemade vegetable soup with fresh veggies from the garden! Mmm good!

My Momma liked to make big ol pots of soups and stews. All us kids and our kids would come over and eat. Sometimes she'd be creative and add different things. My Daddy would smell it and come in and ask what she was cooking. She would tell him she was making "stuff". It was funny. She was a great cook.

My fav. meal worth soup is a big bowl of old fashioned home made chicken stew with veggies

From Serious Eats

Cook the Book: 'Japanese Hot Pots'

I love to make a Korean soup made with fresh chicken cooked in water and spiced with plenty of grated fresh ginger. The chicken is shredded, and a cup or two of cooked rice is added to the broth and cooked until the soup has the consistency of "chowder." Serve in Oriental bowls and garnished with sliced green onions and Korean sesame salt. Delish, and very healing if you are suffering from respiratory "flu."

I'd have to say Split Pea and Lobster Bisque, my favorites! Thank you!

Cook the Book: 'Japanese Hot Pots'

A nice, warm bowl of beef or chicken curry (Japanese-style) cooked with just the right amount of veggies. It's not quite soup but I purposely thin it out so that it has that soupy feel to it. Warms you up and sticks with you all day plus leaves your house smelling wonderful for days. :)

My favorite meal worthy soup is my Salmon Chowder. It has bacon, onions, celery, carrots, potatoes, corn and salmon in a creamy chowder base. Add a loaf of garlic bread & you have a spectacular meal!
