Nov 23 Author: Saras | Category: News Ferran Adrià, aka genius behind Michelin star winning El Bullí, has announced his new project after the tragic closing of El Bullí. He is on to his next adventure: opening a chic tapas and cocktail bar on Parallel street in Barcelona called Tickets (the tapas bar) and 41º (the cocktail bar). Joining Ferran in this project will be his pastry chef brother, Albert Adrià, who recently closed down his own tapas establishment (Inopia) and the Iglesias brothers (known for their seafood restaurant Rías de Galicia).

Radish and Oysters on Rice (Gulbap in Korean) | My Korean Kitchen. “Radish and Oysters on Rice” (Gulbap, 굴밥) sounds like a very weird combination, yet it is one of the best food combinations for each other apparently. I cooked this meal with my rice cooker again, so there was hardly any work to do. But it was hard to take the rice and other ingredients out from the rice cooker, because I didn’t want to ruin its shape for taking the pictures. In the end, I ruined it a bit, though it didn’t seem to affect the taste. It was really yummy and filling. I also felt really healthy. As far as I remember, it was the first time I had this meal in my life, as well as cooking this meal. I should cook this more often I think. If I describe the taste I would say something like this. Ingredients for 2 people (Expected preparation time – 15 minutes, Cooking time with rice cooker – 30 minutes) For sauce (mix them all together in a small bowl.)

Preparation Soak the oysters in salty water for 10 minutes.Soak the dried kelp in the water (1 and 1/3 cups). Cooking Author: Sue. GET OFF YOUR BUTT AND BAKE!: PASTRY. Last night, I decided to make one of my favorite cookies. These little pastry swirls are so delish! I usually use my favorite pie crust recipe, which I have previously posted, but I decided to try a pastry recipe by the Barefoot Contessa. This recipe calls for lots of butter! I used my 14-cup Cuisinart Food Processor (love it) to make the pastry dough. It's so easy in a food processor, so if you haven't invested in one, do so very soon! Pastry: 2 cups all purpose flour 1/4 cup granulated or superfine sugar 1/2 tsp. kosher salt 1/2 pound (2 sticks) COLD unsalted butter, diced Directions: Place the flour, sugar, and salt in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Heat oven to 400 degrees. Divide your dough into two equal parts. Keep one half covered in plastic wrap and chill in refrigerator. About 1/8" thick I still have some rolling to do! You can use any jam or preserves that you like. I used Strawberry Huckleberry jam. Yes.....more butter.
