The Pith and Pit. Gastronomic adventures of a transcontinental foodie. Saturday, 18 December 2010. EOA: Equal Opportunity Adulteration-Of a Culinary Sort.

Whipping cream. Approx. 300-400g fresh tagliatelle pasta. 1/2 medium white onion, sliced. 1 tsp brown sugar. 4 Tbs virgin olive oil. 1 boneless, skinless chicken breast.

The Pith & Pit: August 2010
http://pithandpit.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
The Pith and Pit. Gastronomic adventures of a transcontinental foodie. Sunday, 1 August 2010. Cold as a Cuke. My colleague, K., has what sounds like an expansive, tantalizing array of vegetables growing in her garden. So, when she offered to offload some of her bounty of homegrown cucumbers, I was not one to refuse. For the pickled cucumbers:. 1 small cucumber, peeled (seeded or unseeded, up to you) and thinly sliced. 1 tsp chili paste (sambal oelek or the like). 3 Tbs rice wine vinegar. 2 Tbs toasted se...

The Pith and Pit. Gastronomic adventures of a transcontinental foodie. Tuesday, 1 June 2010. Photograph: Lucy Harker, Loose Images. Just when you thought that Oxford's Jericho neighbourhood couldn't get any hipper, a new kid on the block moves in. That new kid is Bottega Food and Wine Bar. Located opposite the Albion Beatnik Bookstore. This small stretch of Walton Street could give Little Clarendon a run for its money. And what is a hipster enclave without a wine bar, anyway? From The Big Bang. Is under ...

The Pith & Pit: May 2010
http://pithandpit.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
The Pith and Pit. Gastronomic adventures of a transcontinental foodie. Thursday, 13 May 2010. Last night some friends and I decided to brave the Veritas Forum. A Christian organisation begun at Harvard that hosts discussion forums to engage with 'life's hardest questions'. To say, opposite John Haldane (Professor of philosophy and Director of the Centre for Ethics, Philosophy and Public Affairs at the University of St. Andrews), Christopher Hitchens ( Vanity Fair. Columnist and author of God is. Olives, ...

The Pith and Pit. Gastronomic adventures of a transcontinental foodie. Sunday, 12 December 2010. Comfort in a Bowl. Who have been met with Poirot's face for the last three months. I'm tired of his visage, too. So, here's a too-good-not-to-share adaption of a recipe. From the October 1995 issue of Bon Appetit. Yields 4 generous portions. 3 stalks celery, chopped. 1 medium white onion, peeled and chopped. 2 carrots, peeled and chopped. 2 Tbs fresh thyme, stripped from stems. 1 whole sprig fresh rosemary.

The Pith & Pit: July 2010
http://pithandpit.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
The Pith and Pit. Gastronomic adventures of a transcontinental foodie. Sunday, 25 July 2010. Unless one lives in Anamur, Turkey. Here, bananas- among a plethora of tropical fruits- reign, and it was thanks to this fruit that a brief visit to the coastal town turned out to be so memorable. Within minutes, Hamdi Bey turned up in his car, led us to our basic but charming room, and sent his teenage colleague to accompany us to the best fish restaurant in town, Kap Hotel Restaurant. The Anamur Muz [banana] Fe...

http://pithandpit.blogspot.com/2011/04/winner-winner-one-pot-dinner.html
The Pith and Pit. Gastronomic adventures of a transcontinental foodie. Sunday, 3 April 2011. Winner, Winner, One-Pot Dinner. Well, almost. This recipe suggests a frying pan in addition to a pot, but based on a recent article. By John Willoughby of The New York Times. Dining and Wine section, you might just get away without it. Unwilling to accept defeat, I got started on everything else to go with it. Here's the recipe:. One-Pot Stewed Chicken with Chorizo. 3 Tbs olive oil (needn't be extra virgin).

http://pithandpit.blogspot.com/2011/02/birthday-bourgignon.html
The Pith and Pit. Gastronomic adventures of a transcontinental foodie. Sunday, 6 February 2011. And another month gone. With no post. Not that there hasn't been some cooking happening. There certainly HAS been eating going on, and so I shall try to redeem the neglectful silence with some highlights. Anyway, for friend P.'s birthday, Chef E. and I hosted a French-inspired evening. Taking our cue from Julia's master recipe in The Way to Cook. I ended up with a super pliable dough that rolled out beautifull...

http://pithandpit.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
The Pith and Pit. Gastronomic adventures of a transcontinental foodie. Thursday, 25 March 2010. Edinburgh on My Mind. No, I haven't thrown in the towel. Just yet. It's been a whirlwind of a past few months with a jaunt to Scotland, trips to London, and lots of work in between. Along the way, there has been food, however. Oh, has there been food! Itchy feet caught up with me in February, and being whisked away to Edinburgh for a stay at The Balmoral Hotel. No harm done- I was off to the spa! Emerging 3 ho...
