I must say, that thanks to my wife, Nancy, we've been eating salad greens, as well as fast growing greens like bok choi, chard and red mustard greens, out of our garden week several weeks already. And all the other stuff (zucchini, favas, leeks, s...

Portland (Oregon) has a thriving farmers' market organization. The difference is the food culture here - and the people who have taken it upon themselves to organize and promote the concept of locally grown food. If the markets exist, then supplie...

The Passionate Journey of the Food we Love

John Barrows commented on John Barrows's photo 'A bubbling tureen of onion soup "gratinee"'
Usually I finish this soup in individual serving bowls by ladling the soup in, covering with croutons and cheese and broiling. This time I put the croutons and cheese in the cooking pot and baked in a very hot oven to get a "pizza effect" on the s...

There are a multitude of cooking shows out there and they are, in general, all alike. Sure, some are better than others in certain respects but they all follow the same format and that is, "here is what I am going to make and here is how you do it...

There is probably a similar French type. It is basically pounded thin meat stuffed with "whatever", rolled up, tied with string and slowly cooked.

Whataya mean, "whats the white"? Its mozzarella and ricotta. What the hell is wrong with you, you stupid bastard!

Good looking stuff. I have not made bracciole in a while. Jeanette always asks for it. Maybe during the winter I will. I usually put prosciutto, hard boiled egg, provolone, blah, blah, blah inside.
