Cook the Book: 'Urban Italian'

The above is a spin on Carbonara, by the way. Stupid memory.

Cook the Book: 'Urban Italian'

I like to make with "noodles" made from zucchini instead (by slicing them with a mandoline as such). Tossed quickly in the pan with some butter and seasoning, cooked panceta added, loads of parmesan cheese, some olive oil, red pepper flakes and LOTS of cracked pepper. A raw egg yolk is also necessary to emulsify the sauce.

So, zucchini, bacon, parmesan, olive oil, salt and pepper. The flavours just sing! :)

Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Edible Chocolate Box from Charles Chocolates

I have a hard time deciding between a Chocolate Souffle and a Chocolate Pot de Creme. Either one could cause me to loose control of my sexual organs at any given moment.

Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Two Peter Luger Steaks

My favourite cut of steak is the first cut made with my knife into any USDA Prime piece of meat that has been properly prepared and gets it to my mouth the quickest.

Cook the Book: 'Vegetable Harvest'

Having a small herb garden in the window of my downtown apartment has quite honestly changed my cooking and refocused me on using farm-fresh and seasonal produce as the BASIS (and not just an occasional "frill") for my food. I'm now looking to buy a plot of land for no reason other than to plant a garden. Your book, as with much of your writing, helped inspire the dream.

All You Meatheads: Heed This Burger Advice

You guys do know that you can go to that same supermarket meat counter, choose one of their chuck steaks, and ask them to grind it fresh for you right in front of your eyes *gasp*.

At least, that's how it works here in Canada. How would that be different than grinding it yourself? I'm guessing not at all. The benefit of grinding yourself is the one of convenience, right? Meaning, you can do the grinding right when you need it, as opposed to watching it be done 3 or 4 hours prior, correct?

Cook the Book: Steaks, By Cut

The photos attributed to Surveying Master Purveyors, are, in my estimation, worthy of some form of Beef Knighthood. Good golly!! Thank you.

Cook the Book: 'What's a Cook To Do?' Giveaway

Indeed to keep your knives sharp -- but I find the biggest benefit from that is that if your knives are sharp, chopping an onion or two, or three, should not make you cry. Unless of course your knife skills are horrible and your brunoise isn't up to par. :)

Cookbook Giveaway: 'Super Natural Cooking'

In my view edamame is a super-food. Its versatility (tofu, soy milk, "cheeses", etc..), health benefits, and ability to cross borders of nearly every single influential style of cuisine on the planet, make it something very special. Not to mention the fact that it tastes absolutely delicious just sprinkled with salt; my preferred way to eat 'em. Serious Eats? Indeed!

The World's Top 50 Restaurants

This list is a farce; as is usually the case. It's an annual joke regarded as lame and pathetic by anyone who means anything in the culinary world. Except possibly Adria who continues to laugh from deep within his gastro lair and laboratory.

MANRESA DID NOT BREAK THE TOP 100? That alone is cause for completely obliterating any possible credibility or relevance this monstrosity might have had. Manresa is arguably the best restaurant in North America at the moment. How can you overlook that and still be taken seriously? You can't. It's like creating a "50 Best List" for Necessary to Human Life, and not including oxygen.

GRRR.

Handicapping the Beard Award Nominees

The fact that Chef David Kinch of Manresa in Los Gatos, CA. was left out of the nominations yet again is a culinary travesty. As many informed and well-travelled epicureans will attest; he is producing some of the very best food in North America --- CONSISTANTLY.
