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

The kimchi that I had made was coming up on three weeks old. Much to my surprise, it still smelled as fresh as when it first went into the fridge, even though it had acquired a slight fizz from CO2 … Continue reading
Guinea Fowl, Red Cabbage, Trotter, and Prune
While some of you were checking out the tandoori turkey recipe for Thanksgiving ideas, I was out shopping for the final ingredients for the family holiday feast. I had already picked up my farm-raised fresh turkey (and participated in an … Continue reading
Bo Ssäm
I didn’t make kimchi on a whim; it was a key component for one of the featured dishes in Momofuku, and the namesake of the Momofuku Ssäm Bar. I knew that I’d never be able to book a seating at … Continue reading
Napa Cabbage Kimchi
I have managed to overcome many culinary aversions, from pickles to tripe to testicles (a story for another post), but kimchi was something that I refused to eat. I was first exposed to the stuff seventeen years ago, and it … Continue reading
Odds and Sods
Not everything I do or read about merits a full post, so here are a few items that were in my “worth a mention” pile: I have a theory about the McRib sandwich, which has recently been re-introduced for a … Continue reading
