Cook the Book: Nancy Silverton's Pizza Dough

@ratbuddy A fluid ounce of water is close enough to its ounce by weight (an avoirdupois ounce) such that it is negligible for baking if not space travel (1 fl. oz. of water =approx. 1.043 avoirdupois oz of water).

Slice Quotidienne: Pizza at the Eiffel Tower Snack Shop

I just arrived from Paris yesterday and the only pizza I had was Pizza Pino. It was quite the respectable pie (wood burning oven, etc..). That Eiffel Tower pizza though looks atrocious.

The Food Lab: The Road To Better Risotto

Thank you, yet again, for another magnificent article. Have you ever considered an Arroz con Leche (or Riz au Lait, Rice Pudding, whatever you wanna' call it) made with a risotto-type method? I am wondering how the addition of sugar would affect the equation?

Thanks again Kenji!

Is This The Only Neapolitan-style Buffalo Chicken Pie In The World?

You completely lost me at "cornmeal." That stuff does not belong anywhere near a pizza (loved by chains to make training quicker and easier).

How do you think lard would affect the outcome?

The Food Lab: How to Make Scallion Pancakes

I think that Michael Ruhlman may suffer from "Imadethismyselfsoitmusttasteawesomosis" at times.
Also C/Krab Rangoon seems like an ideal project for the Food Lab!

Also..excellent work as usual Kenji!

Cooking Channel, Anyone?

The Food Jammers show was pretty decent. But for the most part the TV "personalities" look as though they are cut from the same generic cloth as the Food Network. And for chrissake will somebody please get Mo Rocca off the air permanently already? He's useless.

The Future of School Lunch Reform

@hmw0029
I see your point; but because mom can't cook everyone else is responsible for feeding her child?
But mine is a moot point; entitlement has become too ingrained. Soon the gripe will be about schools not serving organic, farmer's market produce.

The Future of School Lunch Reform

How about we nix the school lunch program, make each parent responsible for their child's lunch and save millions of dollars in the process? Just a thought.
