Okay, check it out. A food and cooking blog with a focus on interesting ingredients. Thursday, September 26, 2013. Duck and parsnips with vanilla and fennel. Can you believe it's autumn already? So for Marx Foods' "Sweet to Savory" challenge. I wanted to do something autumnal. Marx sent me, and the other participants, vanilla beans. With the proviso that we have to use at least 2 of the 4 ingredients in a savory recipe. Duck and parsnip with vanilla, fennel, and Calvados. 1/2 cup duck stock. Butcher the ...

Okay, check it out. A food and cooking blog with a focus on interesting ingredients. Tuesday, October 22, 2013. This summer we found a way that I love eggplant. We've gone through quarts of this stuff: eggplant confit. It started with a recipe in . Food and Wine? Links to this post. Thursday, October 10, 2013. Mushroom and pistachio stew with mint and fried onions. Because they're two of my favorite mushrooms - and I think the matsutake work especially well here - but this recipe would work with any drie...

Okay, check it out. A food and cooking blog with a focus on interesting ingredients. Thursday, February 20, 2014. Smothered duck and cabbage. So we made some winter food. Some really really wintry food. Stick to your ribs. In the meantime, I chopped up a red cabbage, sprinkled it with salt and left it in a colander, and rinsed the salt off after the duck was done. Just helps it cook by getting some of the water out. Browning the duck is very important, and then the duck is removed to a platter, the fat i...

Okay, check it out. A food and cooking blog with a focus on interesting ingredients. Monday, October 20, 2014. 1 1/2 pounds ground beef, browned, fat drained. Even if you don't usually drain the fat for chili, I would do so here because of the coconut milk. 3 red bell peppers and a handful of fresh chiles of your choice (or sub in dried chiles later), diced. 3 medium onions, diced. 2 tablespoons coconut fat or reserved fat from the ground beef. 500 ml coconut milk. Links to this post. Death to Pagination...

http://okaycheckitout.blogspot.com/2014/07/papaya-salad.html
Okay, check it out. A food and cooking blog with a focus on interesting ingredients. Monday, July 7, 2014. Papaya salad might be my favorite dish in the world. Maybe I'm hedging by saying "dish," so that sour cherries, fresh tomatoes, or whiskey can still be my favorite food, I don't know. But I'm telling you, papaya salad is way up there. It took me a few years of occasionally trying to make papaya salad to realize that you really HAVE to pound it. You can't just toss the shredded papaya with the se...

Okay, check it out. A food and cooking blog with a focus on interesting ingredients. Thursday, January 30, 2014. So much catching up. Geez, I am getting so bad at keeping up with this. Let's start at least by covering a few meals I've made lately, or lately-ish:. Squash-pecan soup with grilled cheese. Barramundi with succotash and radish-parsnip salad. Man, I used to make refried beans all the time, and I'm not sure when I stopped. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Cupcakes Take The Cake.
