Deviled eggs go upscale

October 10, 2022 by
 |  4 Comments  |  Leave Comment
One of the biggest restaurant food trends this year involves an ever-popular potluck and party staple, the humble deviled egg. Of course restaurants aren't going to serve just a plain deviled egg, as good as it may be. They are adding all kinds of bling and flair to zhush them up, as Epicurious explains. Chefs aren't just playing around with… read more

The Great British Bake Off/Baking Show – Week 4 – Mexican Week

We're back in the tent with all the bakers for Mexican week. You will recall last week, bread week, that no one was sent home due to Rebs and Abdul both being ill. This episode was a missed opportunity to teach viewers about Mexican desserts/bakes but instead an hour riddled with insensitive comments/props which demonstrated a clear lack of knowledge… read more

As the days shorten and we march inexorably toward the dark days of winter, there are a few respites along the way, chief among them the flavors of autumn, especially apples. If you live anywhere near an apple growing… read more

Watch out charcuteries boards, the hottest TikTok/Instagram food trend is coming for you. I'm talking about butter boards, which are all the rage right now.

I just received an email from a local market announcing that it's peak tomato season. Farmers’ market stands and home gardens alike are brimming with tomatoes in all sizes and colors. Sometimes it can be overwhelming to find ways to use all of this delicious harvest without turning to the same recipes over and over again - I love BLTs… read more

Lock your doors: it’s zucchini season

July 27, 2022 by
 |  7 Comments  |  Leave Comment
The warnings are dire: double-check to make sure all of your doors are locked, from your cars to your garage to your house. These precautions are not due to an increase in the crime rate, but rather because your neighbors are getting desperate to find homes for all of the zucchini (courgettes) that are now ripening in their garden. I… read more

Panna cotta is having a moment

 |  3 Comments  |  Leave Comment
Once found almost exclusively on Italian restaurant menus, panna cotta seems to be bursting out everywhere, says Bon Appetit's Genevieve Yam. She feels we are currently "living in panna cotta’s golden age—one where all sorts of restaurants are spinning the dessert into their own form." What's not to love? Panna cotta is infinitely variable, with opportunities to infuse loads of… read more

Exploring the softer side of celery

June 15, 2022 by
 |  One Comment  |  Leave Comment
Most of us experience celery as a garnish to wings or a Bloody Mary, or perhaps as an afternoon snack loaded with peanut butter or squeeze cheese. But this fibrous vegetable offers a lot more than crunch (and strings in your teeth), explains Michael Harlan Turkell. He provides ideas for showcasing the rich and earthy flavors that cooked celery offers.… read more

The new ‘food fights’

I love the Eat Your Books Cookbook Club plus several other food groups on Facebook. The ones I frequent have a spirit of collegiality, a warm and welcoming vibe, and plenty of insightful commentary. Apparently not all Facebook food groups follow this pattern, however, as Eater's Amy McCarthy explains as she documents recipe groups where drama rules the day. McCarthy… read more
