It has been a while since I’ve talked about cookies. I’ve covered the basics of chocolate chip cookies but this time I felt like straying into unfamiliar territory. I’ll tell you what I did if you promise not to get mad. I used rhubarb. In cookies.
I’m usually a bit picky when it comes to cookies. [...]

Eggs are eggs, right? They come in boxes from the store. Your varieties basically boil down to two choices, a dozen or a half dozen. (Preferably the salmonella-less ones in the news.)
Well actually, there are plenty of choices: cage-free, pasteurized, organic, etc. But many people don’t pay attention to what they buy. I’ve been a [...]

After spending time eating exotic foods and traveling in France and Japan, what is the first thing I do when I come back to the US? I go all American, baby: Sliders.
Sliders are not small burgers. No matter how much you want them to be a cute, miniaturized version of a burger, they are actually [...]

I couldn’t resist making one more post about Japan. This one is about candy, but not like you know it. Kit Kats in Japan come in the wildest varieties that you can dream of. English Tea, Green Tea, Cherry Cheesecake, Pudding, Raspberry, Mango, even Wasabi, Sweet Bean, and Soy Sauce flavored Kit Kats were pretty [...]

I’d like to say one more thing about my food adventures in Japan before I get back to our regularly scheduled programming. Well, I’d actually like to say many things, but I’ll try to limit myself to just this one: Ristorante ASO.
I had the wonderful opportunity to dine at this Michelin rated restaurant courtesy of [...]

After Japan, I bounced back to the US for a while, then hopped over to France to pay my brother a visit. Don’t let his tiny kitchen fool you, he can still cook up a meal that can impress anyone. (Though he has at time made a few international calls to get my advice!)
Even while [...]

Thanks Alistair, you threw down a gauntlet there. I appreciate that you tried to cover for my recent absence, but I think I’m going to try to play my lack pf posts off by calling it food related research.
I spent quite a bit of time traveling recently and had the opportunity to sample quite a [...]

There is no sandwich whose essence is simple or as straightforward as the grilled cheese. There is also no sandwich with as many variations that fall under the same name.
Oh, the variations are all splendid. This time though, I wanted something basic. Give me some good cheese and some good bread. Melt that together with [...]

In the past I’ve made pretty bold claims that chocolate chip cookies are the only style of cookie that counts for anything. Don’t expect me to recant that claim, but I also want to go on the record saying that I don’t mean to malign other kinds. I certainly won’t object to a good cookie, [...]

I really, really wanted to find some merguez for use in this dish. I also thought some harissa would be good to have. Unfortunately, I could find neither. Merguez and harissa just don’t seem to be that common in grocery stores near Raleigh. The closest equivalent I could find was Italian sausage. If I somehow [...]
