Cook the Book: Molto Batali

I love cooking for my friends and family, but I feel the biggest sense of satisfaction when I cook for a significant other.

In a Pickle: Pickled Garlic

I canned a jar of Korean pickled garlic a couple of weeks ago. Every time I check on it, it seems that the level of brine decreases. Is the garlic absorbing the brine? The seal is tight and nothing is leaking out. I think I used a 1:1 ratio of soy sauce to vinegar.

Win Tickets to 'Farm to Film to Table' at NYC Food Film Festival

I love Union Square, but when I visited London, Borough Market had it beat. Melting blocks of cheese to put on potatoes? Hello!

Deceptive Fruit

Thank you for your responses! I made peach butter out of them, but everyone was so suspicious, I made another batch and now I have about 2 quarts of the stuff. It tastes amazing - white peach butter much better than yellow peach butter!

Lunch Today: Tripe Stew with Daikon from Grand Street Food Cart

There are several other street carts that serve the same thing, along with rice noodles with peanut sauce and curried fish balls! My favorite is the one outside Wing Shoon Seafood on East Broadway.

Where to Eat a Pre- or Post-Theater Dinner in NYC

Yeah, I have to agree with Becco - the unlimited pasta is a great deal, whether you eat one serving or two. I would say the best part about the deal, though, is the wonderful antipasti that comes with it.

Fast Food Chains in London That Should Be in America

Didn't get a chance to eat at EAT, but the menu item there that caught my eye was the noodle soups. They have large cartons of noodles, beef, and vegetables and will fill it up with soup when you bring it to the counter. The only one I remember is tom yum, but they had a lot more. Has anyone else tried these? They look delicious!

KFC in the UK: Is Fast Food Better in Europe?

I was just in Paris and London and was determined to try different McDonald's sandwiches. The McDonald's in Versailles is fantastic - they have computer kiosks that allow you to order and pay with a credit card, or you can wait in line and someone takes your order, sends it to the kitchen, and gives you a number that allows the cashier to pull up your bill. The Le 280, a burger with two cheeses, tomato, and onion, is tasty and on ciabatta bread. Le Chicken Mythic was like a school lunch chicken patty, but Le Croque McDo is like a tasty grilled cheese sandwich with ham inside. They also have deluxe potatoes, which are like tiny steak fries, and something called a KitKat croque, which looks like a mini-pyramid of KitKat bites. And ... kiwi on a stick. That last one I don't really get.

Ramen Hacks: 30+ Easy Ways to Upgrade Your Instant Noodles

Kenji, because I love ramen, I feel like this is the best post you've ever written. I love that add-ins are recognized because I love jazzing up my ramen and most people don't understand how delicious it can be. I don't know if this is true or not, but since many ramen packets can run up to 15g of fat or more, I heard you could make the noodles, rinse them, and then put them in pot of fresh boiling water - not the one with the starches - to cut down on the oil/fat in the noodles.

The Nasty Bits: Crab Innards

Ooh, I was just looking for a tomalley recipe yesterday, but one for cooked leftovers. We always have leftover crab heads from dinner and it's often much too rich or intense for people, so I've been wondering what to do with it. Though I have to say, I don't think I could kill them in this way. I could do the freeze and them, though.

First Look: FoodParc

Yeah, there isn't too much information here about what else was there - it's supposed to have several stands, one just focusing on pudding. Is there any word on pricing?

Poll: Do You Order Sushi 'Omakase'?

I've always wanted to try it, but I find that in the way that it's supposed to be - indivdual dishes of sushi and prepared foods - isn't always the way it's served. There's an inconsistency with what Japanese restaurants call "omakase" and I want an affordable version of what was talked about in Trevor Corson's book, The Zen of Fish.

Have You Ever Had Airline Food You Actually Liked?

Has anyone here read the Virgin Airlines passenger complaint letter to Richard Branson (regarding airplane food)? Probably one of the funniest things I've ever read.

Have You Ever Had Airline Food You Actually Liked?

I once flew KLM and they had Rocco DiSpirito-designed Bertolli meals. The airplane seafood risotto was surprisingly decent.
