Never underestimate the extreme flavor power of fresh squeezed citrus juice. The acidity stops foods from oxidizing and adds a bright unprocessed taste to quick fix foods. The juice from one orange is used to jazz up a simple beef stir-fry. Stir-frys are excellent because they can be made rapidly and provide a mixture of tender meat, crisp vegetables, and sticky rice. You'll give Rachael Ray a run for her money when you make this savory stir-fry in under thirty minutes or less so get the recipe now and read more
For my Father's Day picnic at the Nascar races I'm keeping the decor simple with a theme based on the invitation inspired by classic racing red, black, and white. I'll put the food on a plastic folding table and cover it with a black and white checkered tablecloth. The drinks will be in a collapsible red cooler. To ensure that the guests can find us I'll tie a few balloons to the table ends and place one beautiful bouquet of white flowers on the table. Since this is a sporting event music doesn't really play an incredibly important role. Instead of bringing a portable stereo, I'll make cds of BuzzSugar's Father's Day playlist to hand out as party favors.
Mario Batali recently got an opportunity to tell us exactly how he feels about food bloggers. The article, entitled Why I Hate Food Bloggers is an interesting read, however the comments are where things really get interesting. Some people feel that real journalism has its faults as well, while others agree with Mario, saying that food blogs have become too tabloidy and publish first, fact check later. The whole thing makes me wonder, do you think food bloggers affect the food industry?
If you're not aware, San Francisco is home to many taquerias (dare I say a bajillion?) and when you're craving a burrito, picking an establishment can sometimes be a daunting experience. Thankfully someone has chowed down 481 burritos to determine which one is best. The list keeps growing each day, and my favorite part is that the burritos are rated in mustaches. - Burrito Eater
Last year at the start of summer I ran out to Target and bought an old school ice cream maker (the kind you plug in and add ice and rock salt to) on sale for $20.

I have a vivid junior high memory of not going out to eat dinner with my family. At the time I was okay with it, but when I found out they went for a lobster dinner, I was devastated! From that point on I vowed to eat lobster whenever I could. Unfortunately lobster is one of those foods that taste great, but are tricky to prepare. Lucky for us, there are a lot of resources to teach us how to correctly pick and cook fresh lobster. To learn a few tips I've picked up along the way, read more
I've had this great book, The Perfect Scoop by David Lebovitz, on my desk for a few weeks now. I've been drooling over it every day, but it was either too cold for ice cream, or the ice cream machine wasn't ready, or I was just too lazy. Lucky for me, I saw that Eat Drink Live was hosting a sorbet challenge and it was enough inspiration to whip up a batch of David's strawberry sorbet. The result was a delicious sweet treat with just the right amount of tartness. The best part was that it came together with very little effort. In fact, it was so easy, I decided to make an alternate version with balsamic vinegar and basil added in. If you've never made your own sorbet, stop reading and start creating! But first you're going to need the recipe. To check it out, read more
