The End of Apples

Gold Rush apples are so incredibly good. Moving to North Carolina has been wonderful, but I still dream about the Pennsylvania Gold Rush apples I enjoyed when living in the Mid-Atlantic.

Do the Halseys market their cider outside of their immediate area?

Cook the Book: Nigella Express

Simultaneously roast, saute, and build a salad with a single set of fresh veggies, fruits, and a protein. That approach allows for a diverse spread of at least three courses from only one prep/chop session.

Oh, peel and crush your garlic before you do anything!

Southern Foodways: Lucky New Year's Dishes

It would not be New Year's Day without black-eyed peas and greens. This year I made something a little non-traditional, however, in the form of black-eyed pea, kale, and chorizo soup spiked with garlic and chipotle. We had it gumbo-style with a quinoa pilaf tossed with olive oil, sea salt, and fresh cilantro. I hope it brings increased luck in proportion to its increased heat!

My Ten Most Memorable Bites of 2007 (Outside New York): What Are Yours?

Wow, Ed, great list. You are one well-traveled serious eater!

I concur with the Parkway Bakery judgment. They craft the platonic ideal of the roast beef po'boy.

I'll just mention one bite that really stands out. À Côté Restaurant, Oakland, CA: freshly wood-fired flatbread with local figs, gorgonzola, and thyme-studded sausage; accompanied by a strong Mc Chouffe Ale. It was the kind of bite that reminds one of life's immense potential for pleasure.

Rachael Ray - Why do my 30 minute meals take longer than your 30 minute meals?

Lets see, this question really has a few different answers. I would like to interview Alton Brown just because I love his show and want to see what he is like in real life. One of the most interesting people to interviews would be Paula Dean since she is such a character. Finally, if I had to pick someone purely on good looks (and probably good food too) I'd have to choose Giada De'Laurentes.

I would interview Duff Goldman from Ace of Cakes and ask him how he overcame his difficult teen years to become a successful chef and does he have any advice for teens who are struggleing.
