Victoria Love's Sweets: April 2010
http://victorialovessweets.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 29, 2010. The Origins of Souffle. Souffle (yes I know there is supposed to be an accent on the e, but I don't know how to get the computer to do it) comes from the French word souffler. Which means to blow up. The first recorded reference to souffles comes from Vincent La Chapelle's Le Cuisinier Moderne. Written in 1742. He wrote of both savory and sweet souffles and titled the sweet version as timbales de creme. Which was a pastry cream base folded into egg whites "whipped into snow".

FoodCraft: September 2011
http://foodcraftaustin.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
I'm a foodie from Brooklyn. Now I live in Austin. I miss Bagels, but love BBQ. Friday, September 30, 2011. This sounds like it could have been taken from some outdated cookbook featuring a woman on the cover wearing a fifties-style dress and a spotless apron while holding up a casserole dish and smiling at the reader. Or perhaps it would come from a fabulously retro food delivery pair here in Austin like the Casserole Queens. In place of ground beef). In this recipe, but I actually strain out the jalapen...

I'm a foodie from Brooklyn. Now I live in Austin. I miss Bagels, but love BBQ. Wednesday, November 30, 2011. Variation on a Brown Rice Theme. I realize I've sung the praises of the easiest Baked Brown Rice. Recipe in an earlier post, but I feel the need to return to the scene of the crime. This brown rice recipe continues to be a staple. It's low-intensity, is super tasty, goes with anything, and really can be dressed up with just about anything. Nowto wait for 1hr. tick tock. Wednesday, November 30, 2011.

Hashings: A First Impression of Culinary School
http://hashings.blogspot.com/2009/09/what-meserious-or-first-impression-of.html
Musings of a Culinary Late Bloomer. Friday, September 25, 2009. A First Impression of Culinary School. When I signed up for culinary classes, I thought I would be the oldest student in them. Again. Older than the instructors. Again. Like when I first enrolled in college years ago at age 32. I was a mother figure for many of my classmates. Yawn. But, I am amazed now that so many, ahem,. We'll, it turns out I'm in good company because my eyesight is on the wane, and I can't remember shit. But, it's GREAT!

FoodCraft: A new crispy, yet healthy, treat?
http://foodcraftaustin.blogspot.com/2011/02/new-crispy-yet-healthy-treat.html
I'm a foodie from Brooklyn. Now I live in Austin. I miss Bagels, but love BBQ. Friday, February 25, 2011. A new crispy, yet healthy, treat? I don't know about you, but kale has always been somewhat intimidating. Not that I thought it would be hard to prepare, but the one(? Time I've tried it, it lived up to its bitter (literally) reputation. Enter " The Next Food Network Star. Do people ever get away with it? Seems clunky. That said, it's in its third season, so who am I to judge? Where he investigates a...

FoodCraft: Dressing up Annie's
http://foodcraftaustin.blogspot.com/2012/02/dressing-up-annies.html
I'm a foodie from Brooklyn. Now I live in Austin. I miss Bagels, but love BBQ. Wednesday, February 15, 2012. I like Annie’s Mac and Cheese. I like that it’s typically somewhat healthier than the competitor’s boxed mac and cheese. But today, I dressed her up. Even better than the original. I had a bunch of vine-ripened tomatoes left over from something a week or so ago. I also had a half a large yellow onion, some fresh basil, and some garlic. I started by heating up some olive oil in a large sauce pan.

FoodCraft: January 2012
http://foodcraftaustin.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
I'm a foodie from Brooklyn. Now I live in Austin. I miss Bagels, but love BBQ. Sunday, January 22, 2012. It's a tie - Recipe: 1 Invention: 1. As you likely can tell, much of my cooking is done just by throwing in things that I happen to have around. There's not a ton of pre-thought on what I'm going to do. I often look at a recipe and then modify it as I'm inspired. Tonight, I did that twice with dinner. One was a success; one was a failure. Roasted Beets. : sigh: This was the failure. Pictures to be pos...

I'm a foodie from Brooklyn. Now I live in Austin. I miss Bagels, but love BBQ. Friday, March 02, 2012. This week's CSA box.a full fridge, indeed. I get a bi-weekly CSA box from Farmhouse Delivery. In addition to the produce that are in their typical bushes, you have the ability to add on other products from local vendors. I have asked to always have a chicken added to my order, so every other week, I get a locally raised chicken.just begging to be roasted. Oranges (3) and brussel sprouts. Jam's thai food...
