New poll on http://t.co/oR4MhJxp - share your feelings about egg nog! :) poll is on left sidebar near the bottom! :)
A photographer, Myles New, posted a recipe in this month’s Jamie magazine for roasted pork sandwiches. Looked good. I had a small(916 grams) rolled pork loin roast in the freezer that I got on sale at Carrefour for 3 euros 77 centimes. I bought two. I really liked the sound of herbs stuffed into slits in the roast and dried prunes stuffed into cored apples. So romantic The apple on the left fell apart in an ugly fashion. Guess not a roasting apple, huh?
I know, I know; could it be any more cliché to talk about something like kale during the first week of January? I think not. However, regardless of whether they should be, dieting aspirations are not my motive. Kale chips, if you’re me, are what happen when you spend too much time wandering Whole Foods and come home with a giant bunch of kale and then spend two days pondering what, exactly, you should do with it. Soup was definitely my first choice, and some kind of saute a close second – or maybe a…
Jamalade, you say? Yes. Jamalade. Not quite a jam: toothsome slivers of citrus zest and a touch of pithy bitterness from the addition of citrus pectin make this flavorful preserve reminiscent of marmalade. Yet not quite a marmalade either: the majority of the white pith is left out of this recipe, and the fruit is strained from the syrup and added only at the end of the cooking process, yielding visible chunks of ruby red grapefruit in the final product, and a sweetness that is nicely balanced, but not…
I have a love hate relationship with roti. It is the most wonderful thing to sink your teeth into, which is perfect because after trying to make it, the only thing that will relieve frustration is biting something (well, maybe kicking, punching, and crying helps too). For years I’ve been trying to make this wonder of Guyanese cuisine. I always ended up with an oily tortilla like fry bread and ensuing anger.
Now that you’ve made all of those Christmas cookies, how do you keep them from going hard and dry before delivering them to all of your friends and neighbors? Here are a few tips for keeping large quantities of cookies fresh…
Okay, I promise this will be the last Christmasy thing I post for awhile! I just thought this recipe would come in handy if any of you happened to have egg nog left over from the holidays. I always buy egg nog every year – it doesn’t seem like the holidays without it – but I always end up with extra. And it’s so rich, you can’t really drink a lot of it. So baking with it seems like the perfect way to finish using it up.
No food tradition in our family is longer-lived than the German apple pancake. So central a family holiday tradition, so beloved, for years it even served as the “secret password” between my daughters and me. We never needed to use it, but it was comforting knowing it was there. ; ) Every Christmas morning for our children’s lives our house would fill with the sweet perfume of cinnamon and nutmeg and caramelizing apples. Every Christmas morning, the girls’ eyes, and later on, the boy’s, would pop at the big…
This is a recipe which smells intensely of Christmas to me. It reminds me of my mum, perennially standing in her tiny kitchen, creating complicated wonders. Oddly, she hardly made a sound while cooking for a large party, I could hear her breathing. It reminds me of how my father and I would sneak into the kitchen to steal the fried stems, subtly aromatic, tender as butter. Those and the mellow leftovers we enjoyed the most, as…
