So at some urging from Judy, here is my recipe for fried artichokes, which was heavily inspired by the same dish at La Bodega in Kansas City, MO. It is the perfect combination of salt from the “ham” and sweet from the garlic vegannaise.
Fried Artichokes
8 large artichokes
3 tablespoons corn starch
4 slices of tofurkey lunch meat […]

It was a chance encounter that first led me to Masalas, an authentic Indian restaurant near my local Whole Foods. I had no idea that a simple grocery run would, in the end, leave me literally so full I could not have had another bite.
The building that Masalas currently occupies used to be a […]

I’ve been trying to branch out and try new ingredients, especially those typically associated with vegan cooking. During my experimentation, I ran across Nutritional Yeast in several recipes (including my spicy “buffalo wings”.) I had no idea what it was, so I consulted my friendly local Internet and found out all sorts of interesting tibits.
Nutritional yeast is made […]

I went to my friend John’s wife’s birthday party at a resturant in Strawberry Hill called El Rincon Columbian, which translates to The Columbian Corner. We had a great time and the food was excellent. My wife ordered chicken in a Columbian sauce of chopped onions, tomatoes, and saffron for which I am going to find a recipe. […]

Over the weekend, I picked up a copy of Robert Irvine’s Mission Cook, a biography/recipe book from the hard nosed, no-nonsense, skilled beyond measure chef from Dinner: Impossible. If you have not seen this show, it is amazing. Supposedly, Robert is given no foreknowledge of his task for the show, things like catering a governor’s inaugral […]

An article I wrote recently required that I find a creative use for Thanksgiving leftovers. Since I do not tend to keep mashed potatoes, roasted turkey, or sweet potatoes in the ‘fridge, I decided to treat my family to an early Thanksgiving dinner. As I have alluded to before, there appears to be something in my family’s genetic makeup that does not allow us […]

First of all, sorry for the week long hiatus. Things have been just that crazy.
For this edition’s restaurant review, I decided to do something with a little more national appeal. Last week, my wife suggested that we have lunch at Dean and DeLuca. About a month ago, I had gone our local Dean and DeLuca […]

On the recommendation of one of my loyal readers (who really should comment instead of email ;)), Tina, Ethan, and I tried Fire Wok on Johnson Drive by the arts theatre despite a promise to ourselves that we would never eat at Chinese buffets again. Our aversion to Chinese buffets comes in no small part from the preponderance of fried […]
