In the meantime, here are the Beach Bum’s personal favorites. 1) In his book Name Dropping, author Barnaby Conrad recalled the day in the 1960s when Victor Jules “Trader Vic” Bergeron—the inventor of the Mai Tai—hired him to ghost-write his autobiography.

Healthy dinners for less than $2/person If you’ve ever found yourself buying clothes just because they’re cheap, or if shopping itself has become a form of entertainment for you, I’ve got a proposal: The next time you buy something, spend a whole lot on it. Enough that it makes you sweat a little. The point is to make you pause and ask yourself, “How much do I really want this?” World Chefs: Gonzales fuses food, music into celebration cooking - Food - Life & Style World Chefs: Gonzales fuses food, music into celebration cooking Rock'n'Roll'n chef, known for underground dinner parties in New York, releases a new cookbook Reuters, Tuesday 13 Nov 2012 What to Eat When You Have No Food When You've Got Eggs...

Lamb Meatballs in Tomato Sauce with Ricotta Recipe from Seamus Mullen’s Hero Food by Seamus Mullen (Andrews McMeel Publishing, 2012) Meatballs-it doesn't seem to matter in what form, are always a top seller at the restaurant. Whether it's duck meatballs, or veal or lamb, our guests never tire of them. I like lamb meatballs with sheep's milk ricotta, but if you can't find it, fresh cow's milk ricotta is just fine. Serves 6-8

Cook's Illustrated Magazine Dear Fellow Home Cook, Why Cook's Illustrated is different than other cooking magazines Cook's Illustrated is dedicated to finding the best methods for preparing foolproof home-cooked meals. Unlike some glossy cooking magazines, our magazine is staffed with cooks and editors not food stylists. Our 2,500 square foot test kitchen — the same kitchen in which we film our public television show, America's Test Kitchen—has three dozen full-time test cooks whose 9 to 5 job (well maybe 7 to 6 on baking days) is testing and retesting recipes 20, 30, sometimes 50 times until we can offer our readers a recipe we're confident will work every time. (Of course you have to promise to follow our recipes for those foolproof results.)

30 Min. Clean Thai Turkey Zucchini Meatballs Today is not a story day. Today is super awesome meatballs day! I got my new dishwasher that can even make Thai meatballs.:) In all seriousness, we have a deal: I make the meatballs and he does the dirty job. Blog Chef It is no secret that I have an obsession with Chinese cuisine. The place that started it all was a local Chinese buffet here in Michigan. After frequent visits to the buffet over the years, I finally decided to take a stab at cooking my own Chinese dishes at home. The majority of the dishes were delicious and I began cooking different Chinese meals every week, but I had always wanted more variety just like the buffet.

My Gourmet Connection Pierogi are traditional Polish noodle dumplings, filled with a variety of classic sweet and savory mixtures. For this recipe, we've chosen to make a basic potato-cheese filling and serve them as a side dish topped with sour cream, garlic and chive sauce. Our family recipe, combined with a fairly standard dough preparation method, produces an exceptionally light and tender finished product. The secret? Pinching off portions of dough and rolling them individually to avoid overworking it.

Fifteen Spatulas Did you know that eggplant is a berry?!? I love learning little food facts like that. Eggplant can be a little bit tricky sometimes. It can be epically delicious when it’s done right, but what else can you do besides the typical eggplant parmesan where you fry it up and pile on lots of cheese and sauce? How about grill it and roll it up with a creamy ricotta basil filling? It’s a little healthier and you don’t miss out on any flavor. Can You Stay For Dinner? First it was falafel, then burgers, and now, chicken gyros. This place reeks of a street food fair. Someone get me a curbside cart.

Noble Pig Cheesy, delicious and impressive Pasta Pie will have your family and friends amazed by your effots. Believe it or not, it's simple to put together. Give it a try. See this recipe made on video here.With the enthusiasm my children showed for this recipe, you would have thought I reinvented the wheel. I guess rigatoni standing at attention has a way of impressing children?
