In Finland, ‘name days’ – a day in a year for a given name, or group of closely related names – are celebrated by many people almost as much as birthdays are. Recently, it was my Finnish lab mate’s name day, and in honour of the occasion I made korvapuusti – or, at least, I tried to.
Korvapuusti are cinnamon rolls. The dough is yeast-based, and flavoured – as many baked goods in that part of the world are – with crushed cardamom seeds. After it rises the first time, the dough is ...

That’s me and ‘Tets’ - or Tetsuya Wakuda for those who haven’t met him! He’s a world-famous chef and owner of the equally world-famous restaurant Tetsuya’s in Sydney.
Last week I had the privilege of being invited to attend one of his extremely coveted Masterclasses (he only does 12 a year!). I have to immediately give a big warm thank you to Electrolux, Open Haus PR ...

When I first heard about Old Town Pasadena's new Quadrupel, I was hoping for someplace with a good beer selection like Lucky Baldwin's, but with better food and fewer frat-boy type patrons. What I didn't expect was a full-fledged restaurant that skews towards the formal side, with only a few beer-friendly small plates. The wood-paneled restaurant is mostly tables with a small 8-seat bar tucked

Would you all hate me if I all I had to say about this dinner was…
Yum.
Ok, maybe I have some more to say, because this meal was so incredibly simple I think Taylor and I were in a state of shock when we sat down to eat less than 15 minutes after we started. What? Seriously? That’s unheard of! Usually we allot/assume/plan for around 45 minutes for dinner, sometimes it is closer to an hour. After prep, chopping, cooking, ...

C has an aunt who used to work for a princess. Yes, a princess that lives in a palace in a kingdom not so far away. I would sit enthralled by her stories of riches so grand it was almost unreal…like my own personal One Thousand and One Nights. Gold and jewels and family vacations on private jets, mammoth shopping jaunts and bespoke sports cars and magnificent feasts.The parts that captivated me most, not surprisingly, were the magnificent feasts.As she is ...

Copyright © 2010 hoyummy.com. Visit the original article at http://www.hoyummy.com/2010/03/10/review-big-city-cupcakes/.Right before the Olympics started, Jenkins and I were wandering around downtown one day after lunch. We were just about to head back to our respective offices when I realized that we were very close to Big City Cupcakes’ downtown location. I had been meaning to try Big City Cupcakes for quite some time but due to its slightly out of the way location downtown, it was never convenient for me to go....

In Rotwein geschmorte Kalbsbacken, Joues de Veau braisées, Kalbsbäggli. Kalbsbacken enthalten viel Bindegewebe und damit viel Kollagen, ein faserartiges Protein, das Hauptbestandteil von Haut und Sehnen ist, sowie die Muskelfasern umhüllt. Durch dessen molekulare Anordnung als Tripelhelix (einer Art dreifach verschlungenem Seil) ist es zäh und ungeniessbar. Erst durch längeres Erhitzen auf über 90°C werden die drei Stränge aufgebrochen und zu weicher Gelatine denaturiert. Hierzulande wurden Kalbsbacken bis Anfang der 90er Jahre ...

Like i have said in my previous post on Cilantro Pesto, i came to like cilantro and use lots of it, adding it to lots of dishes especially soups. When you have more than you need of fresh cilantro and before they die on you, besides making Cilantro Pesto, the next best option is to turn it into a infused oil,. It is not quite the real thing, it is less pungent but it is there in your refrigerator, to ...

When you have an idea for the use of a tool, you only see what you are looking for. Taking a step back and looking again provides many more uses for what is possible with the equipment around. These baskets are a useful example: from containing hot spring eggs to hydrating pasta were not what we initially desired them for.

My first dinner at Jitlada was a bit of a blur. Our party was thirty something large, and each of the fifteen dishes that we ate were chosen beforehand by the host. All I remember from that evening was socializing with a lot of interesting people and being treated to an avalanche of bold, sweat-inducing [...]

Despite the fact that it has been a little warmer out lately, I have still been craving soups and I recently realized that it had been a very long time since I last made one of my favourite soups, a broccoli and cheddar soup. The broccoli and cheddar flavour combination is a really good one that I never tire of reinventing but this soup has to be one that I keep coming back to again and again.Broccoli and cheddar soup is pretty ...

Progress is a beautiful thing, no? A girl can struggle to keep up, what with all the horseless carriages around, and those fancy typing machines. Life moves so fast these days!In keeping with this amazing time of ours, I decided to check out this Facebook thingamadoodle all the kids are raving about. I even made a Hot Water Bath group to record all our collective home food preservation fun.Seriously, through. Susie J suggested nearly seven years ago that I start a canning-related message board, a recommendation that thrilled and terrified me ...

LOS ANGELES— Eater LA has an update on the Japanese restaurant that was busted by the filmmakers from The Cove for serving whale sushi. An animal rights activist showed up at a city council meeting and suggested that the City Attorney terminate their business license on the grounds of illegal activity. The politician agreed to look into the matter, and will report back on the issue at the next meeting in two weeks. [Eater LA]

The Seattle Art Museum has laid out its exhibit plans for the next couple of years, beginning with its October blockbuster, "Picasso Masterpieces." The French national Picasso museum in Paris is undergoing renovations, so they're sending much of the collection--Picasso's private stash, mostly--on a worldwide tour: Madrid, Moscow, Helsinki, Seattle. Seattle? Yes, indeed. "This is what we built the museum to do," director Derrick Cartwright told a press luncheon. An extremely ambitioius undertaking, 150 pieces, that requires a ...

Gastropub: (British) A public house that serves high-quality food. This Wiktionary definition is the best I could find for gastropub, but it's illustrative enough. A gastropub is generally understood to be a public house (read: bar) that serves equally high-quality food and beer. In other words, a place you're just as likely to go for a few great beers as a nice meal. The concept hasn't been around all that long, but it has certainly found traction here in D.C. Well the term has found traction, the establishment of actual gastropubs, not so much. Jamie Leeds (above) is the co-owner...

Happy 3rd Blogiversary To Me…Okay, you get the idea. For this momentous occasion, I wanted to make something special, really special. I decided to try a recipe from the Food Network. Despite my (occasional) railings (okay, frequent…whatever) against them, I did want to commemorate in some way what this very blog is called. ...

Just outside the ski town of Annupuri is the Rakuichi Soba restaurant. This quaint chalet is home to a fantastic noodle experience. You enter and remove your shoes and don slippers before entering the dining room and sitting at the counter with the menu in Japanese cut into a timber plank. With us speaking no Japanese and them having very little English it is a challenge, but a fun one that ends with you having an amazing meal, worth the effort I would say.
The charming and gracious Midori Rai helps you with your selection, Sam ordered ...

I tried out a new cheese bought on the Cambridge market. It is Deepdale, a non-cow’s milk cheese that does not come from sheep or goat’s milk. It is made from the milk of water buffalo at Deepdale, near Skipton. It is quite near Clitheroe, where Paul used to live, but is just over the boundary into North Yorkshire. It is a hard cheese, but one of the softer ‘hard’ ones, being quite moist. It comes with a wax coating to retain its moisture. It is a full-flavoured cheese, somewhat on ...

Some vital updates here on one of the big NYC openings of the year, Pulino's Bar & Pizzeria. While the new project from SF transplant Nate Appleman and restaurant king Keith McNally doesn't officially open for breakfast and lunch until Monday, the plywood has finally come down, and friends and family is now underway. The big draw of any McNally opening is of course, what the place is going to look like —the man is the master of creating dining rooms with a unique, buzzy atmosphere, and it looks like Pulino's ...

The Gingerman group of restaurants in and around Brighton are fast becoming the go to guys for gastro pub dining in East Sussex. With three sites; Gingerman, The Ginger Fox and The Ginger Pig and a fourth on the way in Kemp Town, nominally called The Ginger Dog, owners Ben and Pamela Mckellar are creating something of an empire on the south coast. I ate at the now defunct Gingerman at Drakes a couple of years ago and so when dinner ...

Every time I'm in this one little grocery store near me and I see Primal Strips by the register, I get more and more tempted to buy them. What are Primal Strips, you ask? They're "meatless vegan jerky seitan which provides high energy and high protein" according to the website. I'm not a vegetarian (or a vegan, for that matter), but I do love branching out in the meat-free world from time to time, so I picked up a package of the Thai Peanut Primal Strips to try out....

Does Anthony Bourdain want his daughter to become a chef someday? "God, no! What’s the song? 'Mothers, don’t let your sons grow up to be cowboys'? I would be displeased and scared shitless if my little girl started talking about wanting to be a chef. I guess it could be worse. She could talk about wanting to go OUT with a chef. In the end, of course, after a heart attack, I’m sure I’d be secretly proud that she would want to do such a difficult and noble thing." [Daily Blender]

En mi casa materna les llamábamos "costilletas" y si eran de la varilla como éstas, les poníamos el apellido "de pipa" por la similitud del hueso con una pipa de fumar. A mis hermanos y a mí nos encantaba dejar el hueso lo más limpio posible y luego jugar con él como si estuviésemos fumando....mi madre no lo soportaba y nos teníamos que esconder de ella si no queríamos acabar con unos "coscorrones".Aquí podéis ver lo bien que lo pasábamos haciendo "el mono". Yo soy la del medio....

With spring fast approaching, our friends at Gridskipper put together a handy map of places to shop for the perfect gourmet picnic in New Orleans. This is, after all, an ideal time to take in NOLA before the heat gets too unbearable. The map includes Donald Link's genius butcher shop, more than a few legendary local establishments, some booze purveyors, and a po' boy shop to end all arguments. If you're thinking about a trip to the Big Easy any time soon, or just want to take a virtual stroll among ...

I could eat spaghetti and meatballs every night of the week. Of course my laundry bill would be astronomical. There are cleaning products for removing every possible stain including wine, coffee, ink and blood, but no one has invented a product to remove spaghetti sauce stains. Not yet anyway. This recipe came about as part of my effort to "eat down the freezer." I had a package of two Italian sausages and some ground beef on hand, but neither were really enough to make a meal. The secret ...

A few weeks ago NYC's P.J. Clarke's announced plans for national expansion, and today we learn that the pub-burger favorite has signed the lease on it's first new location in Washington D.C. The space used to house Todd English's Olives downtown, and was being eyed for a while by NYC's Scott Conant. Original plans cited a June 2010 opening, the menu and decor will be similar to that of the four NY restaurants. [WBJ]
