Have You Ever Had Airline Food You Actually Liked?

Air France Espace Affaires meals are very good and I miss the excellent Japanese food in business on Northwest's Tokyo-US flights. *sniff*

Cook the Book: 'My Bread'

I make excellent sourdough bread. Biggest failure - the time i tried to make "no knead sourdough" with starter that had just woken up from a 4 month sleep. More like "dense flat flour puck" than bread.

L.A. Burdick: Manhattan Gets a Superior Chocolate Shop

I visited with a friend yesterday afternoon (Sunday). My cappuccino was very good and friend liked her hot chocolate very much. I had been looking forward to a piece of cake, but when we got there, everything in the case looked tired and dried out. I wish I had asked when the pastries were baked. I ordered two macarons against my better judgment, one raspberry and one cinnamon. Flavor-wise they were good, but the cookie parts were quite dried out and there was not enough buttercream to compensate. Sad.

Store-Bought Chicken Stocks, Reviewed: Which Are the Best?

I use a pressure cooker to make my chicken soup. Start to finish in less than an hour and you can even use a frozen chicken if you need to. It's great at getting every bit of gelatin-y goodness out of the chicken bones.
