Food photographers: which lens to get for low light conditions?

From reading Ken Rockwell's site, you might want to consider the new Nikon 35mm f/1.8 instead of the 50mm - he really seems to like it for low-light photography

Serious BBQ: Last summer days with the grill.

My favorite barbecue sauce is a variation on one from Cook's Country magazine. I like it because it's a no-cook recipe; just whisk the ingredients together, and you're done:

Grilling: Buffalo Wings

I had the same burnt skin problem when I tried cooking my wings over direct heat. I spent the whole cooking time flipping, moving, and jockeying the wings around. A few were blackened anyhow:

I agree with you, that indirect heat is a better way to go. My only problem with the indirect method is you can't put as many wings on the grill:

Pressure Cooker Phobia?

I use my pressure cooker often. It's great for braises, or anything you would cook at a simmer for a long time - the pressure cooker turns the "long time" into a much shorter time.

I like my Fagor Duromatic 10 quart - it's big, and relatively cheap, compared to the Kuhn Rikon models.

The killer application for my pressure cooker is making Chicken or Turkey stock. Here's my recipe:

Pressure Cooker Turkey Stock

This lets you make stock while you're cleaning up the kitchen, with the carcass of the bird you just cooked; homemade chicken stock in an hour!

I make a batch every now and again, and freeze it in 2 cup containers for later use. I can't use the canned stuff from the store any more, this just tastes so much better.
