The Fall Classic, Updated: Cardamom Apple Pie | Burning Pasta
http://www.burning-pasta.com/2010/09/fall-classic-updated-cardamom-apple-pie.html
Tuesday, September 28, 2010. The Fall Classic, Updated: Cardamom Apple Pie. Tuesday, September 28, 2010. Fall has always meant one thing to me: Apples. Apple picking, apple cider, apple pie. Of course, without the picking, the cider and the pie usually don't happen, so it was with trepidation that I entered into my first September here on the West Coast. With the workload that comes with being a 1L, I wondered, would I have the time to get out to an orchard? 8 Medium Size Gala and Granny Smith Apples.

The Refreshing Variation: "50/50" Blueberry Pie | Burning Pasta
http://www.burning-pasta.com/2010/07/refreshing-variation-half-and-half.html
Tuesday, July 13, 2010. The Refreshing Variation: "50/50" Blueberry Pie. Tuesday, July 13, 2010. At long last, things have settled in here a little bit. The Pasta Burner and I have finally gotten our kitchen in order, and with it, there's a chance to really start exploring the California bounty at our fingertips. That other pastries - including my beloved tarts - just can't touch. In short, think of it this way: If Tarte au Citron is Grace Kelly, Blueberry Pie is Jayne Mansfield. 6 Cups Fresh Blueberries.

http://www.burning-pasta.com/2011/07/sunbeam-in-glass-pompelmocello-bitter.html
Tuesday, July 5, 2011. Sunshine in a Glass: Pompelmocello (Bitter Grapefruit Liqueur). Tuesday, July 05, 2011. There are few chronological spans more enjoyable than the one that sits between Memorial Day and Labor Day. Living in the Land of Eternal Summer (a.k.a. Southern California), I've become a bit of an expert when it comes to surviving these sultry months. The most important weapon? A tall, cold glass of . . . well, pretty much anything. For sure, it's always a solid choice. 8 Grapefruit of your ch...

The Autumn Crunch: Stovetop Kettle Corn | Burning Pasta
http://www.burning-pasta.com/2009/11/autumn-crunch-stovetop-kettle-corn.html
Sunday, November 1, 2009. The Autumn Crunch: Stovetop Kettle Corn. Sunday, November 01, 2009. Mulled apple cider, the smell of burning leaves, touch football - what isn't there to like about fall? Editor's Note: Or, as the Pasta Burner calls it, "the last few days while it's still not winter."]. The big secret, however, is that you don't have to wait for the whims of Mennonites to enjoy this delicious fall snack. Do you have five minutes and a pot that has a lid? Oh, good. Let's get cooking. The popcorn ...

The Throwback Appetizer: Beet-Blue Cheese Terrine | Burning Pasta
http://www.burning-pasta.com/2009/10/throwback-appetizer-beet-blue-cheese.html
Tuesday, October 27, 2009. The Throwback Appetizer: Beet-Blue Cheese Terrine. Tuesday, October 27, 2009. Doesn't seem like it was that long ago, does it? The salty breeze, the glare so bright you don't take your sunglasses off all weekend, the lazy crabs crawling over the rocks - who doesn't love themselves a little summer getaway? Makes one 4-inch terrine. 1 can Silver Dollar Beets. 1/4 pound Triple-Creme Blue Cheese (Cambozola is a nice choice). 2 Tablespoons Milk or Heavy Cream. Chop your chives (save...

Monday, November 16, 2009. The Holiday Party Twist: Mustard-Caper Pickled Shrimp. Monday, November 16, 2009. First and foremost, my thanks to Burning Pasta's patient readers. Last week's trip out of town was quite successful (a post about it shall be forthcoming at the end of December), and, while the resulting jet-lag is sure to linger for a day or two, we've returned full of new and wonderful ideas to fill the next few months of posts. Let's get right to today's recipe. 2 Tablespoons Pickling Spice.

The Sweet and Tangy Slice: Buttermilk Plum Pie | Burning Pasta
http://www.burning-pasta.com/2009/10/sweet-and-tangy-slice-buttermilk-plum.html
Sunday, October 11, 2009. The Sweet and Tangy Slice: Buttermilk Plum Pie. Sunday, October 11, 2009. The Pasta Burner loves to make biscuits. There are few things more delicious right out of the oven than those buttery, flaky, still-steaming-hot buns. The first one is delicious. As is the next one. And the one after that. The key to great biscuits, of course, is a cup or two of buttermilk; the tangy (and wonderful) side effect of whipping heavy cream into oblivion. Makes enough batter for two 9" pies.

The Old Acquaintance, Forgotten: Baked Alaska with Flourless Chocolate Torta | Burning Pasta
http://www.burning-pasta.com/2010/01/old-acquaintance-forgotten-baked-alaska.html
Monday, January 4, 2010. The Old Acquaintance, Forgotten: Baked Alaska with Flourless Chocolate Torta. Monday, January 04, 2010. I'm not really a New Year's Eve kind of guy. Well, perhaps I should say that I'm not one to "go out" on December 31st - there are drunks driving out on the road, restaurants run terrible, over-priced prix fixe. A classic post-war delight, Baked Alaska combines cake, ice cream, and fire into a spectacle of deliciousness. All but forgotten, a relic of dusty cookbooks from the...

The Breath Of Fresh Air: Nem Nướng Cuốn (Vietnamese Spring Rolls) | Burning Pasta
http://www.burning-pasta.com/2010/02/breath-of-fresh-air-nem-nuong-cuon.html
Sunday, February 7, 2010. The Breath Of Fresh Air: Nem Nướng Cuốn (Vietnamese Spring Rolls). Sunday, February 07, 2010. There's snow, and then there's 28 inches of snow. To be honest, I've always had a soft spot for the white stuff. Only a particularly prodigious storm can turn the city into a pastoral winter landscape worthy of the collective Pieters Bruegel. Nem Nướng Cuốn (Vietnamese Spring Rolls). Makes about twelve rolls. 1 pound Ground Pork (fattier the better). 1 medium Yellow Onion. Place your On...

The Easy Yet Indulgent Dinner: Deep-Dish Pizza, California Style | Burning Pasta
http://www.burning-pasta.com/2010/05/easy-yet-indulgent-dinner-deep-dish.html
Thursday, May 27, 2010. The Easy Yet Indulgent Dinner: Deep-Dish Pizza, California Style. Thursday, May 27, 2010. Land of endless sunshine, delicious produce, and our new home. We could start with the entire concept of MexiCali cooking - to be honest, the topic deserves its own blog - an intoxicating melisma of flavors that just one word can't possibly hope to capture. Then again, what about focusing on the fresh-first school of food pioneered by Jeremiah Tower's California Cuisine in the 1970s? Needless...
