That first moment you discover a flavor combination so unimaginably perfect that you simply must have it again and again and again.
Such was the case with peanut butter and basil for me. Since then, I’ve been cramming the duo into dishes and desserts like there’s no tomorrow. My new obsession is more of a trio: Peanut butter, sweet potato + cilantro. Being that I’m such a huge lover of Thai food – John and I eat it most weeks – it seemed natural to fuse it into other types of cuisines and foods I love. They’re so versatile in both sweet and savory settings, and I could eat one every day and never tire of them. The concept for this dish is simple: roasted sweet potato rounds, sauteed greens with soy sauce + garlic, peanut sauce, fresh carrots + cilantro all stacked together in one Thai-inspired dish. The sweet potatoes are perfectly complemented by the crunchy greens. Thai Sweet Potato Stacks with Peanut Sauce Author: Minimalist Baker Recipe type: Entree Cuisine: Thai Serves: 2.
Healthy Alfredo Recipe with Peas. A funny thing happens when you break your blender: You have to figure out how to live without it. Waaaaaaaah. My favorite alfredo sauce requires a little blending as it tends to get lumpy in spots if I’m not vigilant. But when my faithful G&E blender of 7+ years busted on me last week and we’d promised friends who are new parents a pasta meal later that evening, I was forced to improvise. Luckily I was able to make a few adjustments and even managed to IMPROVE my original alfredo recipe! Love it when that happens. This calls for new recipe sharing time.
My alfredo is based with olive oil instead of butter and requires simple ingredients you likely have on hand right now. This version was inspired by springtime. The trees are lush, the flowers are in bloom, and the scent of fresh-cut grass is in the air. This sauce is thick and creamy with tons of parmesan-pesto flavor, yet remains light. How is there no blending or pureeing required? Hooray for simplicity, no? Butter-Less Alfredo with Peas. Sweet Potato Gnocchi with Brown Butter Sauce | Veggie and the Beast. All I want in the winter is comfort food. This means that I often end up cooking any variation of mac and cheese, ridiculous grilled cheese sandwiches, or pizza.
Fortunately, the Beast switches things up when he cooks for me. One of my favorite Beast creations occurred a few months ago when he made potato gnocchi for his Italian mother who came over for dinner. Only after he began the recipe did he realize we had no potato ricer, which is pretty necessary for gnocchi. Instead, he ended up improvising by cutting the potatoes really fine, and making the most amazing, melt-in-your-mouth gnocchi I’ve ever had. His Italian mom approved in a big, big way. The meal stuck with his mom, and she ended up giving him a potato ricer as a Christmas gift.
This dish has a similar depth of flavor as my butternut squash mac and cheese, but with the added plus of dumplings that are so intoxicatingly rich and delicious that you will be thinking about them for days. I wish I could eat this every day. Process. Bird & cleaver: fennel + orange cocktail. With the return of warmer weather comes one of our favorite pastimes; sitting on our duffs drinkin' on the patio. That statement probably paints an unfair picture of what actually goes on (most of the time), so, lest you get the (mostly) wrong opinion of us, I should elaborate.
Nearly any warm weekend night you will find us right outside our backdoor enjoying the fresh air, a revolving door of good company, and often times, a tasty libation. And while it is (usually) not some sort of shirtless, cheap beer swilling extravaganza (mind you, I did say usually), we don't often get too fancy with it either. A bottle of wine, a few candles to keep the bugs away, a clean tablecloth, and a yard free of child debris is usually the extent of it. This drink has nothing to do with nights like that.
Fennel + orange cocktail 2 oz gin 1 oz vermouth 1 oz lemon juice 1/4 cup fennel bulb/stem coarsely chopped. try not to get the frond in it. 3 orange slices + 1 for garnish 1 oz simple syrup.
Korean Designer Reimagines Food Storage, Preservation, Without A Fridge. Korean designer Jihyum Ryou reimagines food storage without a fridge. In his project ‘Save Food From The Fridge’ Ryou uses traditional word-of-mouth knowledge and everyday objects to preserve food in an eco-friendly way, without the use of a fridge to keep the food fresh. “Observing the food and therefore changing the notion of food preservation, we could find the answer to current situations such as the overuse of energy and food wastage.” Ryou wrote on his website. “My design is a tool to implement that knowledge in a tangible way and slowly it changes the bigger picture of society. I believe that once people are given a tool that triggers their minds and requires a mental effort to use it, new traditions and new rituals can be introduced into our culture.” Symbiosis of Potato+AppleRyou keeps apples and potatoes together, as apples emit ethylene gas.
Breathing Eggs With a shelf, eggs can be stored outside the fridge—so that the eggs don’t absorb odour of other food in the fridge. PROUD ITALIAN COOK: ITALIAN LEMON KNOT COOKIES!!

But even Julia Child, America’s foremost champion of butter, recommends making crusts with a combination of butter and shortening. Butter for its inimitable flavor, and shortening because that’s what makes a crust flaky. We call for butter to be cut into ¼-inch cubes to make tart dough. The truth is, you only need to cut it that small if you’re making crust by hand. Once you have the food processor out (if you’re using one) and the counters all floured up, we think it’s a great idea to make as much dough as you’ll use for the next 2 months.
Yield : Enough for two 9-inch tart crusts, one for now and one to freeze for later Ingredients 2½ cups unbleached all-purpose flour1 teaspoon sugar1 teaspoon salt12 tablespoons (1½ sticks) cold unsalted butter, cut into ¼-inch cubes5 tablespoons solid vegetable shorteningA small glass of ice water Equipment: Directions 1. 2. Chocolate Basil Cake + $50 Williams Sonoma Gift Card Giveaway [Contest Closed] | Yum and Yummer. Basil is usually treated as a two dimensional commodity, which is upsetting for our sensitive friend. It’s the shining star in pesto, the uniting factor in the group of pine nuts and Parmigiano, and trying to make caprese without basil is trying to conduct a chorus without harmony.
It’s like John Daker singing “Amore.” It just doesn’t work, does it? Still, basil is pretty under appreciated for what it really brings to the table. Sweets, man. Recently I did a guest post for Stark Bros on Blueberry Basil Meyer Lemonade (Shout out to me!) Hey genius, how about a few basil facts? Keats once wrote a poem about a woman, Isabella, who mourned her murdered lover, Lorenzo, by putting his head into a pot with basil and filled it daily with her tears. Did you know that dogs can eat basil because it isn’t toxic for them? There are additional beliefs that basil can bring wealth if you carry it in your pocket, and others that say it will cause you to develop scorpions in your brain and die.

Kvass or as we call it in Lithuanian “gira” (G like good not gin) is natural drink made by fermenting bread, berries, caraway seeds or honey, by adding sugar, yeast or natural ferment. It’s a very old drink, ancient in a way, which became particularly popular in the XVI century and was consumed by anyone from country folk to dukes. It is said it was it was consumed more frequently than water, though you can’t be sure of it… More than 100 recipes are known of the type of kvass that used to be made, some with fairly exotic names like white violet kvass or black currant leaves kvass.
Sounds interesting, doesn’t it? Nowadays, the kvass that is widely known in Lithuania is made from bread. Now, in case you are having some suspicious thoughts that this drink may not be good for the health, it’s quite the opposite. How does bread kvass taste? Well, it’s certainly not a usual taste, rather very very unique. How to make bread kvass? To start you need sourdough rye bread. Traveling in Italy: Sfingi, Sicilian Puff Pastry Fritters. When you notice that everywhere you step on outside your house seems to have developed colored spots, it doesn't mean that the cleaners left on a holiday altogether nor there's a new city-wide fad of polka-dotted flooring. It just means that Carnevale (Carnival or Mardi Gras) is just around the corner. This is also my reminder that it's time to hit the stores and do my share of the Carnevale festivities. Take my kids out costume hunting along with the other hundred parents and kids looking for the same thing.
Princess and action hero costumes. Children put on their costumes and start throwing stelle filanti (streamers) & coriandoli (confetti) everywhere. When Carnevale arrives, my thoughts dwell on the plethora of pastries that go with this period. There is futility in calling each pastry with its proper name, I've noticed. Here, I have the Sicilian puff pastry fritters. Even if these fritters come from one region, there are different kinds too, depending on the town it comes from. Tiramisu ice cream. Tiramisu ice cream This is one of my recipes published in the February edition of Oprah magazine as part of the main food feature on ice cream. I have had a love affair with ice cream for 20 years which started when I first left South Africa to travel the world and realised what real super premium ice cream was all about. Its the reason I bought a semi industrial Italian ice cream machine, and why I love playing around making various frozen desserts.
I would not attempt to make it without one, but have included a method if you have the time and patience. This is the ice cream version of the classic Italian dessert Tiramisu that is just a little bit decadent. Cut into slices, its a perfect end to a summer dinner party. Ingredients Instructions Bring the water and 115gs of the sugar (½ cup) to the boil in a small pot until the sugar has dissolved.
