Serious Eats: karik's Profile

My most memorable street food experience was in Chaing Rai, Thailand. I was asked if I had tried the "bean curd water"...it is so good. I figured out it was soy milk and someone ordered from a man with a cart and had some extra somethings added to it. I reminded me of wallpaper paste. I do like soy milk, but maybe not from a heated metal can on a street in northern Thailand.

Cook the Book: 'Put 'em Up!'

Drying herbs and blanching/freezing the amazing sweet corn from my local farmer's market. I'd like to try freezer jam this year too.

Cook the Book: 'Fiesta at Rick's'

Rick Bayless for sure. I'd love to try some of the food I've seen him make on his show, but have been too timid to make at home.

Cook the Book: The Good Stuff Cookbook

Steak n Shake. I really liked Fuddruckers too, but there isn't one close to me anymore. Sigh...

Spice Hunting: Matcha

Yes please @nataku, share your recipe. That sounds wonderful.

I've made matcha butter cookies before and I love making a homemade version of matcha milk or frappuccino.

Cook the Book: 'My Bread'

I was on a quest to find fresh pita bread. The stuff on the store shelves is so dry. I found a recipe in Saveur magazine that is magnificent! Fresh pita is the only way to go in my house.
