Market Closing
Today is the last day for the Union Square Farmer’s Market until next June. If I want fresh local vegetables in November, I’ll have to go to Davis Square, Central Square in Cambridge, or Copley Square in Boston, none of … Continue reading
Rotisserie Experiment No. 2: Tandoori Turkey
After the successful conclusion of Rotisserie Experiment Number 1, roast chicken, I mentioned that I would next attempt the tandoori turkey recipe provided by Paul Riddell at the Texas Triffid Ranch. It would be easier than waiting for him to … Continue reading

Confit Fingerling Potatoes
This is one of the simplest recipes in Momofuku, but also one of the tastiest, as long as you are willing to cook with lard. I had a slab of unprocessed leaf lard in the Belm Utility Research Kitchen Deep … Continue reading
An Evening with José Andrés
I have been attending the Harvard Science and Cooking Public Lectures, making it to roughly every other one in the series. I missed the inaugural lecture (now online here) which featured Ferran Adrià , Harold McGee, and José Andrés, so I … Continue reading

Roast Pork Loin, Turnips, Garlic, and Anchovies
What do you do when you have a huge slab of locally-raised pork loin? You consult Fergus Henderson’s The Whole Beast: Nose to Tail Eating for a simple preparation that will respect the pig. I had a large pork loin … Continue reading
The Virtues of Restraint
Shortly after we moved into our house (which She Who Must Be Obeyed bought me for my birthday fifteen years ago), we were given a bonsai juniper as a housewarming present. Since I deal with all of the Chez Belm … Continue reading
Chilling Market Effects
Cold and windy today, which was reflected in the diminished variety of produce available at the market. Every vendor was intent on selling me apples and squash, although a few were attempting to fob off the last of their tomato … Continue reading
80,000
Today, while loading the remaster of David Bowie’s Station to Station (the three-CD box that includes the complete 1976 Nassau Coliseum concert), I noticed that “TVC15” was song number 80,000. The decrease in the intervals between 70, 75, and 80 … Continue reading
