This breakfast may kill you

A few weeks ago, I was at Borders perusing the clearance section. I found this really janky set of cookbooks that I adore, but are only useful in the loosest sense. The ingredients don’t actually combine to make anything; they’re more of a guide to an idea of a dish than anything else. I’ve made […]

What’s okonomiyaki and why should I make it? – Maki clack

I rather enjoy Japanese food of any persuasion, but I gotta say, I had never heard of okonomiyaki before Mothering Magazine published a recipe for it. What is it? A Japanese pancake or pizza. Now that can’t be bad, right? Really, as you read the recipe for Mothering‘s okonomiyaki, you realize it’s probably better than […]

In Memoriam – The Taco Bell dog

So you might think that any corn bread, a dish that can be dry […]

Do bamboo cutting boards dull knives? – Boiling It Down

There’s more to food than recipes. We’ll approach the answers to growing questions, and new ways of taking on tricks of the food trade, and Boil It Down for you. For the past couple of years, we’ve been using a bamboo cutting board as our main chopping surface in the kitchen. It made a whole […]

A very unauthentic, but seriously delicious Pasta e Fagioli

I love soup. When made well, it’s probably just about as perfect of a food as you can get. There may be a couple of meals out there that I like more, but nothing that I could eat every day for a week and not either get sick of or feel guilty about eating. This […]
