Weekend Cook and Tell: Waste Not, Want Not

I've tried to correct these links:

I recently roasted a couple of chickens:

then made stock, and used it to make butternut squash and cannellini bean soup:

Weekend Cook and Tell: Waste Not, Want Not

After roasting a chicken, I simmer the carcass for about 4 hours with a few vegetables and end up with stock. I freeze it in 1 quart ziplocks and then have it ready whenever I want homemade stock.

I first made stock from scratch during a cooking course - and here are a bunch of tips I picked up: https://koshercamembert.wordpress.com/2011/11/15/well-armed-or-a-souper-sunday/

Hanukkah Time! Recipes to Celebrate

I just made sufganiyot (jam-filled doughnuts) for the first time. Much easier than I expected and quite possibly the most delicious think I've made in a long time! http://koshercamembert.wordpress.com/2011/12/20/between-mouthfuls/

Weekend Cook and Tell: Legacy of the Lentil

I love lentils. After a visit to Cairo, I brought home a koshary recipe with firm de Puy lentils served over very short pasta.
http://koshercamembert.wordpress.com/2010/02/22/egyptian-takeout/

I also use red and brown lentils (they fall apart easily) for a red lentiil soup with tomato, middle eastern spices (sumac, cumin) and a dash of lemon juice. http://koshercamembert.wordpress.com/2010/04/18/last-all-week/

Finally, I've made an Ethiopian lentil dip inspired by singer/song-writer Idan Raichel. It's not very pretty, but it does taste good. http://koshercamembert.wordpress.com/2009/03/30/salata-idan/

Weekend Cook and Tell: Winter Greens

Now this is one of my faves and I have a bunch of recipes to share.

1) Raw collard slaw - I couldn't fathom cooking this in the traditional ham centric way, so I turned it into a asian-style slaw, marinating the finely chifonnaded collards in vinegar to shoften them.
http://koshercamembert.wordpress.com/2009/08/12/a-fine-mess/

2) Broccoli slaw - another asian-inspired dish and so good I ate a whole bag of these marinated shaved broccoli stems
http://koshercamembert.wordpress.com/2011/06/23/no-need-to-share/

3) Warm squash (butternut, acorn, etc.) and white bean salad with an almond butter - balsamic - orange blossom vinaigrette

Weekend Cook and Tell: Battalion of Beets

I make a sald with beets and grapefruit - it really lets these few simple, quality ingredients shine and is gorgeous to boot. http://koshercamembert.wordpress.com/2009/06/05/a-super-sous-chef-and-co-host/ and on Photograzing: http://photograzing.seriouseats.com/2009/06/salad-with-beets-and-ruby-red-grapefruit.html

Weekend Cook and Tell: Honey Bear

In the spirit of Rosh Hashana, I'd like to share my whole wheat challah recipe (straight from the bread machine!) - I find the addition of honey (on top of the sugar in the recipe) help counter the heartiness of the whole wheat (please ignore the horrible pictures!) : http://koshercamembert.wordpress.com/2009/03/01/eric-and-alizas-challah/

A second recipe I'd like to share is honey madeleines. I made them after a really bad day when I learned the Hebrew/Arabic expression "one day honey, one day onion" - when you have an "onion" (bad) day, it will be followed by a "honey" (good) day. And, madeleines in the morning make any day a godo one. http://koshercamembert.wordpress.com/2009/08/27/honey/

Weekend Cook and Tell: Your Go-To Markets

During the summer, there's a farmers market every Monday. When I can get out work before 6, I try to got. Now that summer has faded and I've started a new job Russo's market (http://russos.com/) is my go-to and just a few minutes from my office. One of my favorite dishes to make with the freshest greens I can find is what I call my "green greens salad" - a simple cumin-lemon-cayenne dressing over whatever greens you can find.

Weekend Cook and Tell: Bucket of Fried Chicken

I have never tried to make good old Southern fried chicken. However, I do make a great chicken schnitzel - an Israeli (and German) classic. The nice thing about schnitzel is that you can easily slice it up and serve it over a salad. Here's the recipe: http://koshercamembert.wordpress.com/2011/07/27/he-said-she-said/

Oven-roasted corn on the cob (for when you live in a city apartment and don't have a grill!) - slather it with butter and cheese. It's so messy you might need to eat it over the sink! http://koshercamembert.wordpress.com/2009/05/26/city-living/
