Ed Levine's Serious Diet: Week 6, Are Flavor Intensifiers One of the Keys to Losing Weight?

MUSTARD... grainy or smooth, "flavored" with peppers, etc. or not.

VINEGAR... balsamic, rice, apple cider.

KIMCHI, PICKLES, PICKLED GINGER

CINNAMON intensifies the sweet flavor of things such as yogurt and desserts

Maybe Serious Eats needs to be more Serious regarding vegetables. They are culinarily sophisticated, too! And not only with truffle oil atop...

Dinner Tonight: Curried Sautéed Cauliflower

Franny's (a phenomenal pizza restaurant on Flatbush Ave near Park Slope) has a curry cauliflower appetizer that is probably similar to yours. The cauliflower turns brown and nearly cripsy... definitely more than a tad of oil there.

So many great desserts to choose from! I'm going to have to go with something simple - the olive oil gelato from Otto. In close second is the toasted coconut cake at wd-50. Third place goes to pretty much anything Alex Stupak concocts. No place goes to anything from Magnolia. There are FAR better desserts than that not only in NYC, but pretty much anywhere else in the world!
