A Supposedly Fun Thing I’ll Never Do Again, Part 2
We had a kitchen full of food and we were ready to cook all of it. But let’s have another look at the rest of that kitchen: That’s a three-sink dishwashing station with sinks dedicated to (right to left) washing, … Continue reading

A Supposedly Fun Thing I’ll Never Do Again, Part 1
Have you ever cooked for 500 people a day for three straight days? I have, and I lived to tell the tale. The story begins a little over a year ago, when my friends Rose and Josh called and asked … Continue reading

The Winter Market
Due to overwhelming demand, Somerville started a winter farmer’s market which takes place in the old armory building. It’s not within walking distance of Chez Belm, but it’s worth the short drive to be able to get fresh produce. Some … Continue reading
“Caesar Salad”
I have been sick and I have been busy. The weasels in my lungs attempted to take up permanent residence, thwarted only by a solid week’s worth of insomniac coughing fits. I also spent a solid week planning, shopping for, … Continue reading

Aero Chocolate, Version 2
My first attempt at making aero chocolate turned out pretty well, but I was not satisfied with the final texture, which I found to be too dense. As I was considering making it again, my copy of Ideas in Food: … Continue reading
Pork Belly Ssäm with Mustard Seed Sauce
The usual pre-holiday frenzy – gifts, menu planning for the family meal, last-minute work – kept me from posting much, and the post-holiday hasn’t been much better. Now that I’ve unearthed the house from a mountain of snow and taken … Continue reading
Roast Bone Marrow and Parsley Salad
I make a point of not buying supermarket beef anymore, but when I saw packs of freshly-cut marrow bones being added to the Stop & Shop meat display, I couldn’t resist. I may be picky about the actual meat, but … Continue reading
Instant Chocolate Cake
With a new iSi charger in hand, I pulled another recipe out of my mind’s Deep Storage Facility, an instant cake invented by Albert Adrià at El Bulli. I first saw it in the 2008 Spain episode of No Reservations, … Continue reading
