On Saturday afternoon, I took the most enlightening cooking class at 1789 Restaurant in Georgetown with my mother. The highlights of the class were the two uber charming chefs, Head Chef Daniel Giusti above and Pastry Chef Travis Olson below, who stressed quality ingredients and simple preparation make for delicious food. Our menu was based on the American Chestnut, which isn't easy to find. We made...
Filed under: Recipes , How To , Comfort Food , Soups/Salads , The Skinny Chef Photo: Jennifer Iserloh. I love savory hot foods and miso soup is the perfect rainy day dish to fill the tummy and help you shake off the chill. Even if you aren't in the mood for visiting your local sushi bar, you can still make miso at home. Miso soup is one of those mysterious dishes that might look hard to prepare, but...
Well, hey Mom! What are we cooking today? I'm here to help. Cassie decided that tonight was the perfect night for soup. In an effort to add a little more green vegetables to our diet, I bought The Greens Cookbook by Deborah Madison with a gift certificate that I received on my birthday. The following is my favorite recipe thus far, tweaked to my liking. Kale and Potato Soup with Red Chili based on...
The best cooking experiences for me are like falling leaves in a dangerously warm yet stormy Fall: haphazard, from a recipe that coincidentally crosses my path. Here's a recipe on a notecard distributed at my food store for which I had all ingredients at home: Sweet Potato-Red Bell Pepper-Paprika Soup. This nicely thickish soup is the perfect red alert for the +6° Celcius weather that scientists...
I was initially attracted to this recipe from Viet World Kitchen because it reminded me an awful lot of the Singaporean dish, Hainanese Chicken Rice. I'm kind of obsessed with that dish but rarely find the time to make...
I cannot find a good recipe! If anyone has a great (vegetarian) lentil soup recipe, please let me know. Tonight, I made Deborah Madison’s Hearty Lentil Soup, and it was alright, but it wasn’t great. I have made a couple other recipes in the past, and I find it is missing a depth in taste. [...]
This week's recipe for Curry Soup comes from " Tosca Reno's Eat Clean Cookbook ", relatively new to my collection. I like Reno's books and recipes as they are healthy, simple, and usually taste great and I have been craving this soup ever since I bought the book. With rice noodles, chicken, cashews and curry as the starring ingredients, it is exotic, hearty and full of flavor. Reno says:...
Our drippy, damp fall and winter weather may not be everyone's cuppa, but some thrive in this moist environment. They're called fungi. Welcome them into your home with this creamy, cozy soup from contributor Kathryn LaSusa Yeomans. As the cold comes on, many farms wind down for the winter, but the opposite is happening at Springwater Farm, whose offerings are at their peak. Chanterelles, porcini, truffles,...
A little more than a month ago, I ordered Fresh From the Vegetarian Slow Cooker to expand my vegetarian dish repertoire and make better use of my slow cooker. The first recipe I decided to make was Chipotle-Kissed Red Bean and Sweet Potato Chili. It's the only recipe I've tried so far, and I've made it twice--it's THAT good. I could eat this chili everyday for the entire comfort-food season and be...
[Gratin de courge spaghetti, noix et lardons] It saddens me when people attemp to pass off food items as something they're not: they're selling those foods short, and setting eaters up for disappointment. No, meatless burgers are not at all like beef burgers, carob chips have nothing to do with chocolate chips, and I don't know in what parallel low-carb universe spaghetti squash is seen as an acceptable...
I know I have mentioned my super-simple pot roast recipe before but folks keep emailing asking for it, so maybe this will help. I also conveniently just emailed these detailed instructions to my friend Aileen, so I had 'em handy! I am calling this a no-fail recipe because if anyone on this planet can screw up a recipe it is yours truly. I once burned water. I have scorched an egg while trying to boil...
I admit it. The Thanksgiving side dish that I most look forward to consuming every year (I always, always take seconds) is not a fancy homemade pie or an elaborate cranberry chutney or a made-from-scratch stuffing. It's the defiantly low-brow, everything-out-of-a-can, super-traditional green bean casserole. Epicurious members have posted dozens of versions of the recipe for green bean casserole, but...
I hope you save that turkey carcass from Thanksgiving dinner, because you can use it to make turkey jook ("rice congee" -- aaahhh, just call it " jook "). And because I'm making it, you know the recipe has to be easy! Turkey Jook Originally posted 1 Dec 2008 Updated 23 Nov 2009 The Thanksgiving feast is done. Much of the remaining turkey meat has been cut off the carcass and saved...
Many people enjoy growing herbs because they are easy to grow and a lot of fun. Using them in you cooking can make even the most humble meals seem like a gourmet treat. Fresh herbs are fantastic in soups, vegetables, breads, and stews. Herbs change the...
A lot of you have at least one of these efficient and time saving appliances hidden away somewhere in your kitchen collecting dust. You probably thought that the crock pot was just for making soups or stews. http://www.coachingonnet.com
