Opinion: Fantastic Fermentation

21 Oct 2009 14:49:49 PDT

Written by Mise En Place(miseenplace08@gmail.com)
Overall, this was one great episode for learning about using fermented alcohols, oh and how can you not like the ones when the yeasties appear? Five fine wine bottles for a great episode! Although, I liked the name on the fridge, Food Under the Influence, better for the title.

Opinion: New Good Eats tonight

19 Oct 2009 10:49:00 PDT

Written by Mise En Place(miseenplace08@gmail.com)
Last week I was preparing to go see Alton Brown and failed to post a review of both the Anniversary show and the new episode on breakfast food. I will say this about "Another Man Food Show," I guess you have to be a man to get it. It was not one of my favorites. Although, I loved the first "Man Food Show...

Opinion: Good Eats 10th Anniversary Special was a Bomb

13 Oct 2009 12:59:00 PDT

Written by noreply@blogger.com (One SAHD Dude)
In my opinion, as a longstanding Good Eats fan, the 10th Anniversary show really bombed. There, I said it. At the first commercial break I turned it off and let the DVR record the rest for later viewing. In fact, I watched the This Old House Hour instead. I even managed to dig up an old picture o...

Opinion: Master the Art of Sustainable Cooking with Brighter Planet

Written by cathy
So, we’ve mastered the art of French cooking, thanks to the wild resurgence of Julia Child via Julie & Julia (sales of her classic Mastering the Art of French Cooking have put it on the bestseller list!). Some of us may have even mastered the art of local cooking, by joining CSAs, shoppin...

Opinion: Where Have You Gone Emeril Lagasse?

12 Feb 2009 05:46:25 PST

Written by Chris Perrin
I know this all sounds harsh. Still, I can’t help but wonder if the Food Network is turning out too many new shows at once. The chefs seem ill at ease behind the camera, the production values reminded my wife of a high school television channel, and the editing is jerky with odd sounding voice...

Opinion: Breaking From Tradition: Emeril Lagasse tries something new with varied menu at Table 10

19 Sep 2008 07:30:00 PDT

Written by Jeff Hinson
So now we come to the Palazzo’s Table 10, the name an affectionate nod to the table in his first New Orleans restaurant where planning for the restaurant was done and where staff gathered once it was open. In so many ways, it’s quite different from the widely known Emeril tradition.

Opinion: New Emeril Green Show is a Winner

17 Jul 2008 23:00:43 PDT

Written by Harry Kenney
I’m talking, of course, about Emeril Green, the first new show in over five years from master chef Emeril Lagasse — and his first ever away from the Food Network. I didn’t know what this show was going to be about. I honestly expected a version of Jamie at Home where Jamie Oliver grows his own veg...

Here’s the shocker: when the bill was presented, there was a card inside that simply said, “Compliments of Thomas Keller.” No charge for the extra courses. No charge for the wine. No charge for occupying one of the most sought-after ...

Of course, it was very exciting to go to Thomas Keller’s landmark restaurant in the Napa, but as I reported on this blog, the whole experience was overblown and overrated. For a start, they served two sittings, which I find primitive in ...

Opinion: Alice Waters's onion tart

24 Feb 2008 09:37:00 PST

Written by Leland
The onion tart recipe in Alice Waters’s beautiful new book is an improvement on my usual custardy recipe. Instead of dulling the flavor of the onions with eggs and cream, it just uses a truckload of onions, which are juicy enough to stand alone. A piece of this tart is as satisfying as a great sl...

Opinion: Anthony Bourdain, Rachel Ray and Julia childs

22 Aug 2007 20:30:00 PDT

Written by C.L. Jahn
Rachel Ray has had at least the same impact on America as Julia Childs did; but she's not making Americans into better cooks; and she's not turning them from cooks into chefs; she's turning unskilled people into people who can cook. Rachel Ray is sending America back into the kitchen.

Opinion: U.S. chefs still seeking recipe to win France's Bocuse d'Or

27 Mar 2007 23:51:41 PDT

For an American, is it worth putting this kind of cash, sweat and years into a competition that a chef from the U.S. has never won? And does an American chef even have a chance of going to France and winning a competition created by Paul Bocuse, a father of modern French gastronomy?
