Market Adjustment
Now that I have twenty four pints of tomato sauce, made from fifty pounds of plum tomatoes (post to follow), I don’t want to see fresh tomatoes for at least a week. I kept the shopping mostly to essentials: corn, … Continue reading

At the conclusion of my post about prosciutto ice cream I alluded to a use for the leftover chunks that infused the ice cream base. A friend had tasted the ice cream, pointed at the chunks, and said “french toast.” … Continue reading

No Foam 101 for Me
Back in March of this year, the food blogosphere picked up on this article in The Washington Post, which reported that Ferran Adrià of El Bulli and his friend José Andrés, prominent DC area chef, would be lecturing at Harvard … Continue reading
More Than a Few Words About MasterChef
Since the court has determined to condemn me – God knoweth how – I will now discharge my mind concerning the indictment and the King’s title. — Thomas More, A Man for All Seasons Just as I had finally managed … Continue reading
