Yesterday I watched Food TV. Emeril had the winners of his Italian cuisine contest on. Wow! There were some yummy dishes on there. One I need to make next week is a dish called Chicken Meatball Soup. Wine lovers will love it because you can use wine liberally in this dish.
There is a newsletter I would like to recommend. I have subscribed to it for years. It's called Real Food for Real People. You can take a look at the site for it at http://www.realfood4realpeople.com
THanks..HG..sounds a lot like a Begnet, doesn't it...except for the ricotta..<P.
question..do you think you can use the skim ricotta...or would it be tooo watery?..and what kind of oil would you use?
For pastries (unless it's bread) I always use vegetable of canola oil (I like canola, because it has no soy).I have never used skim ricotta. If you're going for the good stuff, I figure you should take it all the way and not go skim. LOL!
While I am here, does anyone know of any good recipes for chicken creole sausage? I was thinking of making a jambalaya. Any suggestions? I am either going to do this for my sweetheart tonight or I will be trying Trillian's Zucchini/Potato Soup from a few weeks ago. It's raining out, so it seems like we should have have some yummy comfort food.
thanks for that...its my fav show about "food" on foodtv
Batalli weirds me out for some reason (guess its the hairy legs in the kitchen)....
As for lard, we used to render it when I was a kid. I still have nightmares :0
I like Giada somewhat, but she too is a little, hmmmm, dainty..prissy....I don't believe she eats what she fixes, ifyaknowaddamean"
My Mother always said "Never trust a skinny cook" LOL
Alton Brown is my man. Good Eats is the best cooking show.
I remember the phone call that Marc Summers placed to Sean. Do you also remember him calling back and apologizing? (I got the feeling that his bosses must have read him the riot act over his phone call to Sean.)
or the red shoes...BTW..speaking of rendering..how do you feel about schmaltz.?.
I would say this is a very accurate description. I love to learn about the history of food and am also a gadget freak. Alton's show is perfect for me.
(If what I just wrote makes you sad or angry,
This is pig country around here, so most of the fat used is pork. But chicken fat is good, when you have it :)
No, that's MY TV life! I like Alton best, Tyler is okay, but I don't understand the weird dynamic between him and that "Jack" Horrigan, or whatever her name is. Plus, he's gotten a little chunky recently. Sara's good, and she is very good at explaining her ingredients and methods. She is also always well prepared. I can't watch Paula because of the overdone "southern" schtick, (and hubby says I just watch her for what NOT to do, LOL!) and Ina Garten's hair drives me NUTS! I keep wanting her to pull it back in a ponytail. And, she cuts corners: the other day, she made "chocolate covered cherries", and they had NO FONDANT! They were just cherries, dipped in white and dark chocolate. Big whoop. Emeril, no way. I used to watch Iron Chef until they killed the baby turtles right on the show; that was it for me. And I agree: Giada doesn't eat her own cooking, LOL!
Giada is very irritating. Unwatchable. My favorite though is Anthony Bourdain who has shows on Food Network and Travel Channel. I'm sick of Emeril. Most of the others are OK. "Floyd on Fish" on PBS was very good some years back
Have to put it on our list. We did the jazz brunch at Commanders Palace, Herbsaint and Irene's Cusine. The food was fantastic at Herbsaint, the service sucked. All the entrees at Commanders rocked (they brought us the wrong ones), the service was great except for the little snafu. Irene's was so-so, the food was ok and the service was ok. We wanted to go to Bayona, but it was closed for the week for some renovations. New Orleans, a great city to go out to eat.
I love watching this little honey. A group of us guys watch her on our local watering hole's TV in the afternoon with the sound off. We call the show "Cooking With Cleavage".
It's a sad testament to your age and marital status when you watch cooking shows in a bar!!
You don't have to just 'go out' to eat there. Lunch is my favorite time of the day in New Orleans. I hope you had a Po-Boy at Mother's and a Muffaletta from Central Grocery as well... I know I would have had to hit both.
Didn't make Mothers, had the Muffaletta at Central. Now you made me hungry, and it's 3 hours to lunch :)
Add me to your ping list please.
thanks
