Jambon Persill??: a rich and gelatinous ham terrine with a liberal smattering of parsley For the longest time, and because of a very tempting recipe for "Ham & Parsley Terrine" by Marcus Wareing in 'The Cooks Book' I have been meaning to make just that. Of course, ' meaning to do ' and ' actually doing ' are two very different things, so when I noticed that the Fatted Calf would be selling Jambon Persill?? this weekend, I made sure to put in a order for some. The Fatted Calf's Taylor sugge...
When I was growing up, food had a large part in my life. My world revolved around the kitchen: my mother loved to cook, and she loved for us to keep her company, so the social hub of the house had always been the kitchen.
Not all kids today have that sort of experience. Some of the kids who came to France had never had the same sorts of kitchen experiences that I had growing up, and to me, that's a real shame.
An integral part of the language program here, especially with the younger kids, w...
"I will give you free pizza if the Rays win." John Keiley, Johnny's New York Pizza
John Keiley of Johnny's New York Pizza & Pasta in the Denver suburb of Lakewood likes to give away free pizza when certain athletic teams win. First it was his hometown Colorado Rockies in June 2007.

Then it was football. Last season, he promised that if any NFL team could go 16-0, he'd...

Filed under: Business, Magazines, Health & Medical, Fast Food It makes sense that NYC would follow LA's desire to ban fast-food. Just this past March, a report from the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene revealed that in just two years obesity and diagnosed diabetes increased by 17 percent while the rest of the nation experienced just a six percent increase. An article from New York magazine reports that, according to the Sun , NYC Councilman Eric Gioia wants to impo...
Filed under: On the Blogs Another weekend has rolled around, and we all want to eat fun, weekend-y food. Though I'll eat a veggie dog every now and then, I'm not a big fan of regular hot dogs. If hot dogs are on your weekend menu, though, this is for you. Al Dente has put together a list of five hot dogs that'll kill you, literally...you know, if you ate one everyday for a long period of time. Anyway, all the hot dogs look like a good occasional indulgence (and I stress occasional ). Ma...

Filed under: Stores & Shopping, Lists, Bakeries, Artisan Foods Last week, I wrote a post asking why I cannot find decent macarons in the United States. Apparently, I'm not looking hard enough. Comments from all over the country revealed people's favorite shops where they buy them. Although I have not yet tried the macarons at all these places, I thought it would be useful to create a U.S. macaron directory. So far, it looks like most of these places are located in California. Feel free...
Filed under: Business, On the Blogs, Food News If you haven't heard about rising food costs by now, I'm sure you must have noticed them for yourself in the supermarket.

Baker's Banter, the blog aspect of the King Arthur Flour website, posted a letter from Michael Bittel, Senior VP and General Manager, yesterday that announced an immediate decrease in the price of their flours. It seems that the popular...
