The Crisper Whisperer: Garlic Scape Tart

Cook the Book: 'Cooking in the Moment'

I love eating seasonally, and so look forward to each new wonder. I have just put up a big batch of strawberry jam, picked the last of the peas from my vine for dinner and I am looking forward to tomatoes, other berries, corn (especially corn). I wait all year for each season, and make the most of them when they come around.

Recap: Top Chef DC, Episode 3

I am finding the contestants unlikeable as well and not enjoying the season very much. Maybe because it ran directly after TC Masters, which was so companionable and friendly. That being said, I think that was one of the most gracious leave-takings of an eliminated chef I've seen.

By the way - I think a "picnic" is a different thing. This was a grilling challenge in my opinion, not a picnic. I know it was on the lawn, put picnic makes me think of packed, portable food. Anyone else?

Memphis in May 2010: An Introduction to the World Championship Barbecue Cooking Contest

Barbecue fest is awesome - just driving around downtown with the windows down and smelling all that smokin' pig is a joy. And though you can't taste the competition BBQ, there are local BBQ resturants that have trucks where you can buy. And all the great joints in town are open as well.

Pizza Hummus from Tribe

A shame - trying to equate healthier foods with unhealthy foods for sales. I know tons of kids who love hummus and eat it for a snack everyday - even with veggies! Why combine the two ideas? teach kids that healthy can be tasty!

'Top Chef Masters,' Episode 3: Just The Tasty Bits

Anyone else feel like Bravo is editing the show this year to make the chefs (or at least one an episode) look like real jerks? Too much focus on negativity - like other nasty reality shows (about Housewives). Also, last week the judges slammed someone for using purchased sausages instead of making their own, and this week no on complained when Dufresne did it.
