“Holiday Punch” — The Official Site of Chef Georgia Pellegrini

“Holiday Punch” — The Official Site of Chef Georgia Pellegrini
Hudson Valley, New York. December 23, 2009 But do you really need a holiday as an excuse to make a good punch? My brother has been making this for years. In addition to white wine and rum (not the expensive kind), you’ll need citrus. Which you let macerate in the rum and wine. Now frozen lemonade. And frozen limeade. A little ginger ale… A little club soda. He measured his out because he’s a very precise kind of guy. And then frozen strawberries which get soft and float along with the citrus. And then of course a little taste test is in order. Holiday punch…or Tuesday punch, whenever you’re in the mood. Ingredients 1 bottle rum 1 bottle white wine 3 cups club soda 2 cups ginger ale Citrus fruit, sliced 1 container frozen lemonade 1 container frozen limeade 3 cups frozen strawberries Ice Instructions Place all ingredients in a large punch bowl and stir to mix.

“Homemade Cheese” — The Official Site of Chef Georgia Pellegrini | Food, Travel, Lifestyle, Hunting and Redefining Slow Food Berkeley, California. June 4, 2010 I like soft foods. Or if I’m just living off the grid. Or just living toothless. I made homemade cheese the other day and served it to myself by the spoonful. It is 3 (three) ingredient cooking. Pour the milk into a saucepan. Sprinkle in the salt. Meanwhile, squeeze lemon juice from 1 lemon into a bowl, minus any seeds. Bring the milk to a simmer, making sure to stir so you don’t scald the milk. Meanwhile, cut some cheesecloth the size of a fine mesh strainer. Run it under the sink. Give it a squeeze to remove any excess water. Set it over a bowl. Cut a piece of twine about 18 inches long. By now, your curds will have separated from your whey. Pour it into the mesh. Let it drain. Gather it together. Wrap your twine in a knot around the ends, leaving enough length on one end to hang it from somewhere. Like so… string hangs down as the ball of cheese dangles and drips over a bowl. Here is what my set up looks like. Garlic paste and chopped dill… Give it a mix… and…

Web’s Best: Whiskey Drinks Unlike The Most Interesting Man in the World, we almost always drink beer. When we don’t, however, our go to liquor is whiskey. What can we say, bourbon is neat (little whiskey humor). While we usually just pour a few fingers and relax, sometimes we like to get a tad more creative. Here are The Web’s Best Whiskey Drinks: Hot Blooded Besides sounding like the most badass fruit, blood oranges are freakin’ delicious! PDT’s Bacon Old Fashioned If PDT isn’t a cab ride away from where you live, we highly recommend making their Bacon Old Fashioned in the comfort of your own home. Double Chocolate Bourbon Egg Cream If we’d been around for the Brooklyn egg cream craze, we’d have added a little topping from our flask at the corner pop shop as well. Penicillin Just like the name suggests, this drink is good for what ails you (if what ails you is being stone-cold sober). Smoke Signals Want to impress some guests?

5 Sites Every Beginning Homebrewer Must Visit | mikesbrewreview.com 5 Sites Every Beginning Homebrewer Must Visit Posted on May 11, 2010 by mike Over the course of my short brewing career thus far I have found some sources on the internet that I’ve found to help me grow as a brewer. I thought I would compile a short list of 5 sites I visit on a regular basis that new or novice homebrewers may or may not know about. As always, I’d love to hear if there are any sites that you recommend for a new or novice brewer. Homebrew Talk Forum Boards Homebrew Talk is a great place to get information when you get stuck. The only drawbacks is you may ask a question, and in classic homebrewer fashion, everyone has an opinion or a technique they use. The Brewing Network The Brewing Network has a series of podcasts that can take brewing understanding to the next level. Beer Calculus Beer Calculus is a free recipe building tool for homebrewers. Zymurgy Free Downloads and AHA Website Zymurgy is a magazine that comes with a membership to the American Homebrewers Association.

Big Bears Wife: Cannoli Dip Cannoli Dip With the way my family eats spaghetti, carbonara, pastas in general, and cannolis you'd think we had some Italian in the blood line. Nope, none. But that doesn't sway our love of Italian food, or Cannolis. When we lived on the Marine Base, the Commissary there sold Cannoil's on base for .25 cents each and I use to stock up on them for a treat to keep around the house. But here, I can't find them. But... back to the Cannoli Dip... when I was looking through some of my favorite online recipe blogs, I saw this Cannoli Dip on Robin's Site Big Red Kitchen. I knew I had to make this for Dad and BigBear for Thanskgiving! I added a little milk to mine, and changed the portions a little, but it was really good, and reminded me of the cannolis that I use to get on base. (Printable Recipe Here) 1.5 pounds of whole milk ricotta 1/2 cup powdered sugar 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips, plus 1 tablespoon for garnish 1/4 cup whole milk 1box of waffle cones, broken into pieces Voila :) Cannoli Dip

15 Dumplings to Try Before You Die I've driven up and down Geary Street in San Francisco hundreds of times, but it wasn't until last weekend that Seth and I took the time to experience it on foot. After all, as many foodspotters know, there's no better way to get to know a neighborhood than by spotting your way through it. While there were many foods I'd never seen before, what really caught my eye as a so-called "Dumpling Expert" was how many kinds of dumpings I never even knew existed! I sampled pelmeni, which reminded me of mandu (Korean dumplings), and khinkali, which reminded me of Chinese xiao long bao except thicker. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. So there you have it: Foodspotting's 15 Dumplings to Try Before You Die. (While I love dumplings, this post could not have happened without the wealth of dumpling information found on Wikipedia.)

You might remember that last year I whipped up some mini s’mores tarts. They were fabulous, but I must have had a few screws loose. Why didn’t I just make an entire pie? Oh! I guess not. Dreams do come true! Welcome to my new favorite dessert. Pleeeeeease make this. As long as you chill it, you should get a semblance of a slice out. I might have found myself kneeling on the kitchen floor, spoon in hand and head in fridge, scooping out s’mores pie bites. And I still have the crumbs on my kitchen floor to prove it.

American Craft Brewing Hop - DIY Beer Brewing Hops At the close of the 1970s, there were 44 brewing companies in the United States that all made nearly identical beers. Light, easy-drinking and largely tasteless lagers were the American beer du jour—unless, of course, you bought imported beers. Since then, American craft brewers have changed the landscape completely. Today there are over 1500 craft breweries in the United States, many of which make a dizzying variety of beer styles packed with big, intense flavors. American beer culture is now one of the most diverse on the planet. Brewers engineered this craft revolution by embracing the best and most flavorful ingredients they could find. Hops added early in the beer's boiling stage have most of their flavor and aroma boiled off, but contribute to beer's signature bitterness. While well-selected hops are nothing new, strains grown in the Pacific Northwest carry big flavor and pungent aromas. Cascade Cascade is the hop strain that put American beer culture on the map.

Cheeseburger Slider Steamed Buns Did you know that true sliders are steamed and not grilled? That's what makes them so juicy and delicious. They are placed on a bed of sauteing onions, and the steam from the onions cooks the burgers. This made me think - why not steam the burger right inside the bun? Why not incorporate Asian style steamed buns into this process, cooking the bread AND the meat at the same time? Well ask no further! The first rise is a batter of a packet of yeast mixed with equal parts water and flour. The next step involves adding more water, oil, sugar, and flour. While the dough rose, I caramelized the onions. This was the moment I realized that I might be on to something good with this recipe. Tuck in the goodness. Ready to steam. While the first batch steamed, we made the rest. Rich tried to get artsy with the ketchup. Yum. Just before this picture, Rich told me I don't have enough face-stuffing shots on my website anymore. I love how you can see the cheese trying to sneak out in this picture.
