I can say without hyperbole that I had one of the tastiest salads I have ever eaten last night. I went to another cooking class, this one on vegetable preparation methods taught by Chef Cody Hogan from Lidia’s Kansas City. Other than my incessant questions, the star of the evening was a simple salad made from asparagus, scallions,…
I went to a class on classic cooking techniques tonight where we made a couple of different dishes including a sauted veggie medley that was fantastic. As I am shoveling zucchini into my mouth, I feel like I’m eating resturant quality food that I cooked. I kept thinking “These vegetables taste so much better? What is…
I made a trip to Penzey’s today because I needed some Arrowroot. Tina and I had just gotten done eating at The Dragon Inn by the Overland Park farmer’s market (review to follow) where I noticed how thick the sauce for the Szechwan Broccoli and the hot and sour soup was. Because I am a total food geek, it reminded…
Last night Ethan and I tried Kaya, an Asian eatery and sushi bar on 104th and Roe (roughly.) I went in with high hopes for a new sushi establishment that I had never heard of. Perhaps there is a reason I have never heard of it. Ethan got chicken fried rice while I tried the…

I’ve noticed something curious about how I find recipes. I used to eschew all my cookbooks and head right to FoodNetwork.com anytime I needed a recipe. That worked for a while, especially when I was in college and the Internet was working towards its current omnipresent state. However, due in large part to the awfulness of the Food…
I started experimenting with some new recipes the other night. I am trying to make dips for tortilla chips or crackers without using the old standbys (sour cream and cream cheese.) I find both of those mediums to be high in fat and calories. I realize that both come in 1/3 less calories and non…
Tonight for our wedding anniversary my wife and tried the new churrascaria Amor Fiery Steakhouse de Brazil at 119th and Metcalf. This was my wife’s choice (as I do not eat meat), however, I went in anticipation of their 50 item salad bar. For those who have not yet been to a churrascaria, let me explain…
I just finished Trevor Corson’s The Zen of Sushi and I left feeling very satisfied (instead of stuffed to the gills like I normally do after just eating sushi.) I found Corson’s narrative to be largely on point, inciteful, and generally entertaining. His style of intermixing dramatic narrative about the students of the California Sushi…
