Pizza

March 28, 2013

Been a while since I posted about my pizza-making exploits.  I’ve tried two new methods over the last few months, and plan on getting it going again here in the next couple of weeks. First there is the Serious Eats (Kenji) “fool-proof” pan pizza. The dough requires little work. No kneading to speak of, just [...]

Storico Fresco Retail Shop

January 30, 2013

Storico Fresco is now open in Buckhead, at the corner of Andrews and Roswell Rd, in a somewhat hard to find spot behind the shops visible from the road. It’s a few doors down from Pie Shop if you know where that is. It’s tough to be a food fan in Atlanta and not be [...]

Pressure Cooking

January 24, 2013

This Christmas I received a pressure cooker (Fagor Duo) and in just a few weeks it’s had a major impact on my cooking. I don’t know why I didn’t have one before, or why they are not more common. Apparently they used to be much less reliable, exploding every so often, but the new models [...]

Lately – January 2013

January 19, 2013

The holidays were great, but as for so many, there is a little bit of stress due to the intense scheduling of events. A drop-in at this grandparents, dinner at this house, parties with friends – it takes its toll. It’s great to be a homebody sometimes. That’s when I do my best cooking. My [...]

Humble-brags…yes, fair; but [...]

Christmas

December 26, 2012

Hope you had a good holiday. Despite a pain in the ass cold the whole time, I had great fun, drank  much wine, and ate fancy with family. I splurged on a few items, but got exactly what I wanted out of them. In addition to being delicious, oysters and caviar add an air of [...]

Fresh Catch

November 29, 2012

I definitely wouldn’t (and shouldn’t) be called a fisherman by anyone I know. But a few months ago I went on a trip to Alaska with buddies and caught a hell of a lot of fish, and we returned to the lower forty-eight with our fair share. At first I was eating fish all the [...]

French Omelets

November 8, 2012

Apparently everyone had a tough time with the omelets last night on Top Chef. I can relate. It’s something I’ve been working on, as I continue to mimic my friend Rowdy, who wowed me with his omelet skills after a long night of wine “tasting”. Until I started watching the Jacque Pepin PBS show a couple [...]
