Blog Post & Recipe: How to cook perfect yorkshire puddings

The single most important thing to remember about yorkshire puddings is that the fat must be smoking hot before you begin cooking – you need a good sizzle as batter hits dripping.

Blog Post & Recipe: The Nasty Bits: Sweetbreads

Sweetbreads, to clarify, are a culinary term that refers to two very different organs—the thymus glands and the pancreas, the latter which is often called the "stomach sweetbread," though of course, the stomach and the pancreas are different. [...] You can sauté or pan-fry the sweetbreads with whatever flavors you like. This time, I used mustard seed and turmeric, sautéed with plenty of onions and chili peppers, for a vaguely Indian preparation that tasted nice with fragrant basmati on the side.

Yorkshire Pudding / Leek and Herb Quiche / 3 Turkey Sandwiches

Blog Post & Recipe: Yorkshire Pudding

One of the tricks to get the Yorkshire pudding to rise well and to not fall is to bake it in a very hot oven and you can preheat the pan in addition to the oven to take it one step further ...

dm said... What's also nice is making it so it is shaped like a large bowl which you can then fill with a stew, meat or veggie.

Blog Post & Recipe: Leek and Herb tart

There’s a few things that really make the difference between a soggy sponge-like thing and a crisp, buttery comfort food. The pastry - it's got to be short, really short, like, leprechaun short.

Cook Perfect Christmas Cake / Pennsylvania Dutch Baked Corn Pudding / Turmeric Pickle

Blog Post & Recipe: How to cook perfect Christmas cake

A Christmas cake should be rich and spicy; bursting with boozy fruit but never, ever heavy.

Blog Post & Recipe: Pennsylvania Dutch Baked Corn Pudding

Baked corn pudding is generally made with eggs and milk and baked like a custard. My family always added a little cinnamon and vanilla, but still maintained a savory taste using salt and pepper.

Blog Post & Recipe: Fresh Turmeric Pickle

One way we eat it in my family is by simply marinating it in lime juice and salt like you see here. Clean, peel, slice, add some salt to taste & lime juice enough to coat all the slices, jar and refrigerate. If you let it sit for 2-3 days, it gets better from the juices. It is best eaten within a week as a relish.

Blog Post & Recipe: Port-Braised Oxtail Cakes on Yellow Corn Polenta- It’s the Little Things

I turned a soggy pile of oxtail mush into a panko-fried cake and I put it on a round of polenta. Then I topped my savory “sundae,” but not with a cherry. Instead I used a port-poached plum.

Blog Post & Recipe: Stir Fried Anchovies (Myulchi Bokkeum)

This dish is a staple in most Koreans' refrigerator. It is easy to make, lasts for a while and can be eaten as a side dish with any meal. Also it is perfect for lunchboxes. Once you get over the weirdness of eating so many tiny fish in one bite it's really delicious.

This seems like an insane amount of work for what is basically a sandwich but it is worth it, I swear. The meatballs bake for roughly the same time it takes to fry the eggplant so everything is hot, crisp and delicious at the same time.

Blog Post & Recipe: fennel

One was sliced super-thin and tossed with champagne vinegar, though cider vinegar is just as good, and drizzled with a real throat-catcher of an extra virgin olive oil. I wolfed the whole thing down, a hunk of bread chasing the dressing around the plate for lunch. Three more went in to a favourite dish of braised fennel not unlike this version, and the other two went into this rather incredible pie.

For perfection, don't stress the batter. Treat it tenderly and don't overmix, particularly if you're adding seasonings after the resting stage, as with the herby yorkshires. And accept that the first pancake will be rubbish.

Blog Post & Recipe: Butter Chicken

I once read somewhere that butter chicken was created when a hungry man walked into an Indian restaurant and they had no curry left. The chef decided to whip up a quick meal by throwing a tandoori chicken into a simple gravy of butter, tomatoes and a few spices. And thus, butter chicken was born.

Blog Post & Recipe: Roasted Beets with Balsamic Glaze

They've insisted that roasted beets just taste better than boiled. I have roasted beets. Quite frankly, I haven't been able to tell that big of a difference from boiled. Until now. Now I get it. These beets are great. The long roasting caramelizes the sugars in the beets adding all sorts of awesome flavor. The trick? Make sure the beets are wrapped in foil so they don't dry out, and then forget to set the oven timer so you cook them 20 to 30 minutes longer than you think you should.

I had a blob of already-made dough sitting in the freezer. After defrosting, I just stretched it into a well-oiled jellyroll pan (a generous hand with the olive oil gives a crisper crust), then scattered a half pound of crumbled Gorgonzola on top and baked it. That was all there was to it.
