Making pasta at home is nothing new. I’ve been doing fresh egg pasta, flat, stuffed, hand-rolled or on a chitarra for years. However, making “dry” fresh pasta was not something I’ve tackled. I did not want to invest in a pasta extruder and was not sure it will be worth it. Also, most books never bother with [...]

From the title of this recipe one would not know what to expect. Is it a hot chcolate drink? Just warmed chocolate? Honestly it sounds a bit boring. Boring, though, this recipe is not! Without waxing with no end about the nuances of this dish I have to say that this dessert from Alinea is [...]
Homemade Fresh Mozzarella

I’ve tried making mozzarella a couple of times before with no success..until now. This was fantastic. The recipe that worked for me was from the “Ideas in Food” book (I just did not use the Lipase enzyme). Now, this time I used raw non-homogenized milk from a farm. So, it still remains to be seen [...]

Posted in Book Recipes, Dairy, Food, Game, Pasta and Noodles, Recipes, Root Vegetables, tagged Clay Pot Cooking, Gorgonzola, Homemade Pasta, Paula Wolfert, Pine Nuts, Venison on September 20, 2011 | 1 Comment »
Paula Wolfert has a straightforward recipe for gnocchi in her Mediterranean Clay Pot Cooking book. At first glance I was not sure how the recipe would work. It has no eggs at all and little flour, a portion of which is cake flour (ie has very little gluten). After making those a couple of times though, [...]
Virtual Egg

Of course it’s a gimmick, but it is so cool. It’s also great to see the look on your guests face when they bite into one of these expecting a good old egg and then doing a double take. Their brain is telling them that this is an egg but the signals they are getting from [...]
Stuffed Red Onions
Posted in Book Recipes, Dairy, Food, tagged Creme Fraiche, Duck Giblets, Michel Bras, Paula Wolfert, Red Onions, Swiss Chard on January 27, 2011 | 1 Comment »
These simple looking onions are one of my favorite side dishes and onion dishes. Onions, more often than not, always play the supporting role. It’s a huge supporting role, but nevertheless, they are never the star. Sure, we do have the odd onion soup exception or the grilled onions atop the burger, but even those [...]
Candied Apple, Bacon, Brown Butter, Coffee and Maple

These ingredients cannot be more complementary. They are delicious on their own and they work great together in a dessert. This dish has been in the works (i:e I first thought about it) about a year ago in Jacksonville, FL. I was working on a project there and a friend of mine mentioned he had [...]
