Market Abundance
This was one of the market days when I buy more fruit and baked goods than vegetables. It’s midsummer in New England, which means it’s corn and tomato season, so I bought corn and tomatoes, along with a few cucumbers, … Continue reading
Roasted Rice Cakes
I realized that I have been working my way through all of the recipes in the Noodle Bar section of the Momofuku cookbook. Although I haven’t committed to cooking every recipe (which gives me an out if I can’t bring … Continue reading
Kitchen Chemistry
During my summer internships at General Foods, I worked with many industrial processing techniques and chemicals that I later dismissed as having no practical value for a home cook working on a much smaller scale. I was proven wrong years … Continue reading
Tony and Me
From the day I read Kitchen Confidential (KC ) right through to today, Anthony Bourdain has been a huge influence on how I cook, eat, and think about cooking and eating. He motivated me to try new things, which has … Continue reading

It’s hot out there. It’s been hot for weeks, so hot that I don’t feel like cooking for fear of turning the kitchen into a blast furnace. So I went to the market with an eye toward what I can … Continue reading
Chocolate Ice Cream
My chocolate ice cream is richer than the legendary Toscanini’s Chocolate No. 3 (Dark).” I made that boast last year, but never followed up with any proof, or even a recipe. A combination of feeling like cooking again, summer heat, … Continue reading
The Return of the Bacon Explosion
Ever since I wrote about making a Bacon Explosion, I have been pestered by a writer friend, Scott Edelman, who insisted that I bring one to Readercon 21. I advised him of the difficulty of serving a smoked pork product … Continue reading
