Under Pressure
The other day I went to my girlfriend's house for lunch. She was in the kitchen when I arrived, and I was shocked to see that she was making a Spanish style garbanzo bean stew with a pressure cooker! When I asked in wonder if she was using it to reduce the cook time of the stew, she replied that she was.
Jacques Pepin on the Perfect Boiled Egg
One of my favorite seminars at this year's Classic was a cooking demo performed by French luminary Jacques Pépin along with his daughter, Claudine. On this sunny Saturday in Aspen, you'd never have guessed that Jacques, who's cooked for Charles de Gaulle and with Julia Child, turns 74 this year: the ebullient chef and his witty daughter exchanged lots of lively banter, and managed to make a whopping six tomato dishes in 45 minutes!
Although I can't wait to make the pair's appetizing tomato dishes, the most useful facts were his tips on boiling eggs, which they used in a harlequin tomato salad.
Robert Irvine's Back in a New Season of Dinner: Impossible
In 2008, Food Network chef and host Robert Irvine sure had a roller coaster of a year. And his ride's not over quite yet: He's back and ready to return to the set of Dinner: Impossible.
According to the network, in the newest season of D:I, which premieres April 8, Irvine faces some of his most unique predicaments thus far.
What Would You Do?
We've all been in crazy situations, and I want to know how you handle entertaining fiascoes and bad restaurant behavior. I'll present a situation and you tell me what you would do. Here's today's scenario:
You and a friend have sidled up to the bar at a small French bistro famous for burgers.
Top Chef 5.14: Season Finale Part 2
It's over! The final episode of Top Chef 5 aired last night and a new cheftestant was named Top Chef. It was an exciting end to the competition.
Built-In Tips: Fair or Not?
Of all cities in America, New York is certainly one that's suffered severe economic blows — yet it has the highest cost of living in the country. To protect its diners from sky-high gratuities, the city's Department of Consumer Affairs has instituted a policy preventing parties under eight from being charged automatically for tip.
Big Apple blog Newyorkology set the record straight: New York restaurants may impose gratuities only for parties of eight or more.
Let's Dish: Hell's Kitchen 4.3
In last night's episode of Hell's Kitchen, the contestants chickened out — literally and figuratively. As a wake-up call, the wannabe chefs had to chase and catch live chickens. Later, during the dinner service several members of each team cracked under the pressure.
Hottest Men On Food Network
The other day Stuff Magazine created their list of the top ten hottest women of Food Network. Many of you thought their list wasn't quite right, but the rest of you thought we should come up with our own list of the top ten hottest men of Food Network. When I mentioned this idea to PartySugar, she quickly agreed and handed over her list.
In Case of Emergency Chocolate Bar
This Emergency Chocolate Bar is a little bit gimmicky (okay so it's a lot gimmicky), however you all know that there are those days where something like this would have been just enough to fix everything. The label says, "For immediate relief of: Chocolate Cravings, Lovesickness, Exam Pressure, Mild Anxiety, and Extreme Hunger." They'd make a great gift, but I'm imagining them under glass with a "break in case of emergency" label on them.
