Cook, learn, eat, share. Newer posts →. Technique: Egg Pasta Dough. August 6, 2009. I have home-cured bacon. How can I not make a carbonara sauce? But first, I need some pasta to put it on. If you’ve never made egg pasta, it really isn’t as hard as you might think. It may not be as easy as Mario Batali. Makes it look on Iron Chef America, but it’s easy nonetheless. To roll out the dough, I generally use the Kitchen Aid pasta roller set. Work well, but you need to be able to clamp them to the table or cou...

Working Lunch: August 2009
http://working-lunch.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Saturday, 22 August 2009. Zucchini "spaghetti" with broad beans, pancetta and lemon cream. Growing up, a favorite dinner was zucchini spaghetti, which was a clever way of getting us kiddies to eat our vegetables. Zucchini grated into pasta and cheese was not only palatable, but popular. I still crave it to this day. But this day, with zucchini on my hands and spaghetti on my mind, the cupboard was bare. No pasta to be had. What was I to do? Zucchini "spaghetti" with broad beans, pancetta and lemon cream.

Working Lunch: September 2009

Sunday, 13 September 2009. This week's BSI challenge. Comes from London Foodie in New York. Who chose chocolate (what? No one had picked chocolate yet? I love chocolate in all forms - cakes, cookies, bars, beverages - but today, for once in my life, my sweet tooth was not clamoring for a treat. Plus, I figured there would be cakes and sweets aplenty. Therefore, I thought I'd sneak chocolate into something a little different: a chicken with mole. For the uninitiated, mole. I based my recipe on this one.

Working Lunch: October 2009

Thursday, 29 October 2009. Pasta with fresh basil and tomatoes confit. This is hardly a recipe, but it's one of my favorite uses for my tomato confit. So there you have it, a simple dish that can't be improved by any addition of any ingredients. I think that's about all that needs to be said. Eat up. Links to this post. Monday, 26 October 2009. What to do with all this goodness? Tomatoes (cherry tomatoes or quartered Roma tomatoes). A few cloves of garlic. Sprigs of rosemary or thyme if on hand. Mark Bit...

Working Lunch: Chilly day Chili
http://working-lunch.blogspot.com/2010/03/chilly-day-chili.html
Wednesday, 17 March 2010. Did anyone else experience the apocalyptic weather known as the nor'easter that blew in on Saturday? Were not the boss. I made the mistake of trying to go into my building through the back entrance, which I had forgotten is a wind tunnel on the best of days. I kid you not when I say I was thrown from wall to wall and pinned against the gate until I could get it open. So I ordered delivery for dinner. 2 lbs ground turkey. 1 14-16 oz. can whole tomatoes. 1 C chopped onion. Thank y...

Working Lunch: Mapo tofu
http://working-lunch.blogspot.com/2010/06/mapo-tofu.html
Wednesday, 2 June 2010. I researched the recipe and gathered my ingredients. By a stroke of luck, I found some chili bean paste in a little bodega around the corner from me, saving me a trip to Chinatown for this vital ingredient. Fairway supplied the Sichuan peppercorns, and the local Associated supermarket carries 10 varieties of tofu (I [heart] NY! 1/2 cup chicken broth or water. 2 Tbs hot bean paste. 2 Tbs soy sauce. 1 lb soft tofu, drained and cut into 1/2-inch cubes. 1/2 lb. ground pork shoulder.

Working Lunch: Pasta with sausage and saffron
http://working-lunch.blogspot.com/2010/05/pasta-with-sausage-and-saffron.html
Sunday, 2 May 2010. Pasta with sausage and saffron. I've been out of the blogging game for a couple of weeks. Work is busy, so during the week my blogging would be very boring unless you want to hear about bowls of cereal before bed or a plate of crackers, cheese, hummus and whatever else I can rustle up from the fridge (just like canapes, I like to tell myself). Pasta with sausage and saffron sauce. Large pinch of saffron threads. 1/4 cup hot water. 3 Tbs extra-virgin olive oil. 3/4 lbs. Italian sau...

Working Lunch: July 2009
http://working-lunch.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 29 July 2009. Blueberry and peach galette. I always listen, trying not to drool, filled with food envy. There are fantastic markets in London, but I have never been to one where I could pick from 10 different varieties of nectarine. What to do with this bounty? Bonus points for arranging the fruit in a nice pattern: I think my mother did well. 1/2 tsp. salt. 4 oz unsalted butter. 2-3 Tbsp. flour. 6 Tbsp. sugar (or to taste). Combine flour and salt and cut in butter until pieces are pea-sized&#...

Working Lunch: Perfect chocolate chip cookies
http://working-lunch.blogspot.com/2010/04/perfect-chocolate-chip-cookies.html
Sunday, 18 April 2010. Perfect chocolate chip cookies. This particular recipe, in the May and June 2009 issue, aims to perfect the chocolate chip cookie recipe. I have always been a fan of the classic Tollhouse cookie, but hey - any excuse to make a batch. Plus, this one looked like fun. Cook's Illustrated involves browning the butter to decrease its moisture content and increase the chewiness of the cookies (this is not a crispy cookie recipe). The browned butter also creates a rich and nutty flavor.

Working Lunch: December 2009

Sunday, 13 December 2009. Pear and maple syrup cake. I read about this cake in Nigel Slater's column for the Observer a few weeks ago. His photo looked mouth-watering: soft pear, fragrant spices, sticky maple syrup. I could almost smell the aroma wafting from the pages of the magazine and filling the flat with warmth and comfort. (Emotional eating? Nigel Slater's pear and maple syrup cake. 100g butter, softened. 50g golden caster sugar. 50g light muscovado sugar. 1 tsp baking powder. 2 Tbsp. of milk.
