Banana Curry 2008-04-24 00:19:50 Here’s a quick photo recipe of banana curry. I used green plantains here which worked out real well. Since I’m not doing so well writing these days, I’ll leave you with a photo recipe. Any questions? Read more:Curry
A damn good sandwich 2008-05-01 20:02:35 The eater always tells me I make the best sandwiches. My formula for a good sandwich starts with good bread. Leave the Wonder bread for toast and find something good - something with a good crust, something with an unusal flavor, or something with a nice airy texture. I then try to match the ingredients [...]

eek! A mouse! 2008-05-26 03:57:32 Actually, make that seven mice.
Yes, my kitchen has been invaded by mice. I thought I kept a neat and tidy kitchen, but those little buggers managed to find their way in and sample every item on my metro rack. I lost everything including a nice stash of Guittard chocoalte, 10kg I’d guess. If you remember [...]
berries and tarts 2008-06-02 02:28:11 Summer is almost here and berries are beginning to invade the markets. On a recent trip to the market, the eater and I were compelled to pick up some cherries, raspberries, and blueberries. We originally were just going to greedily eat them out of the container, but on the way home I decided that I [...]
Red Fire Friday 2008-06-16 22:51:12 Friday was an exciting day, it was the first delivery of our new CSA veggies from Red Fire Farm. Being a huge food geek, I was excited for days before this and was counting down the days until the delivery. For the less geeky, a CSA is community supported agriculture - a local farm that [...] Read more:Friday
Quick CSA dishes 2008-06-19 00:45:04 Once again I feel like the Iron Chef; I get secret ingredients each week and I get to come up with new and (hopefully) innovative dishes
to tempt the taste buds and please the eater. Did I mention I’ve missed getting CSA veggies yet?
This week’s secret ingredients were spring greens — lots of them. Spinach, [...] Read more:Quick
Late…again 2008-07-01 01:28:21 So it’s Daring Bakers time again, and wouldn’t you know it, I’m a day late again.
This time around the challenge was a rich laminated yeast dough: The Danish Pastry braid. I’ve made both croissants and danish years ago in pastry school, but I’ve always shied away from making these at home. You see, laminated [...]
I’m a farmer’s market addict (Lexington, MA farmer’s market) 2008-07-16 02:42:52 I know what you’re thinking, “but don’t you get farm-fresh veggies delivered by your CSA each and every week?” Yes, I do but what can I say, I’m a greedy geek. Sometimes the CSA just doesn’t provide everything I want to eat each week. I know this may come as a shock, but what else [...] Read more:farmer

All this food and…nothing 2008-08-02 15:05:35 It’s been a little bit hectic I’m the geek household and our blogging has suffered.
We’ve been enjoying the CSA but haven’t made anything I would deem picture worthy. My fridge is full of food yet we’re going to a friend’s to eat. I guess this isn’t prime blogging season or something.
I fully intended to [...]
what’s going on? 2008-08-14 02:52:13 I will refrain from apologizing for the lack of posts…
So what’s going on in foodgeek land? I’d have to say a whole lot of nothing. Really, nothing.
There isn’t a whole lot of cooking going on lately, just geek stuff. I somehow acquired a 3G iPhone and I’ve been lost in geektitude for the past two [...]
ZOMG Corn!! 2008-08-08 17:19:40 Look at all the corn! The CSA told us to take the whole bag and there must be about thirty ears. I’m putting on a large pot of water right now so I can start eating it. YUM!
The Sugar Daddy Dares Us 2008-08-31 21:35:57 What can I say? It’s choux-time again. This time the Daring Bakers made me do it.
This month our challenge recipe is from none other than Pierre Herme, the king of macrons himself. I’m sure it’s been a long time since PH himself churned out batches of choux, but it’s nice to see that he doesn’t [...] Read more:Sugar

Ramen? Are you kidding me? 2008-08-22 08:49:36 Nope.
It’s not all pastry and French food here, sometimes I want food and I want it quick. I know the lowly ramen isn’t what you would expect, but this is reality. Ramen is cheap, versatile, and easy to find.
There’s no reason to eat ramen just as it is: dried noodles with flavored broth package. With [...]
My Specialty? 2008-09-17 03:03:14 I’m not sure how it happened, but apparently I have a specialty. It’s not those colorful macarons, it’s not those elaborate fondant cakes, it’s not even pastry at all — I’m a salad specialist.
I’m not sure when it happened, but I’m pretty sure it started off innocently. I joined a CSA, bought local, ate seasonal. [...] Read more:Specialty
Quebec with a touch of Spain 2008-10-10 13:06:53 The other day I decided to try turning a Quebec
ois favorite, the Tourtiere (or pork pie), into a Spanish hand-held treat, an empanada.
Growing up, these pork pies were almost always a winter food; more specifically, Christmas food. I’m really not sure why but my dad says that’s just the way it was in his house [...] Read more:touch

The apprentice 2008-10-06 03:40:24 I did not cook this.(ok, I helped a little)
I’ve finally acquired an apprentice. My new roommate and friend wanted to learn how to cook, so off we go! What about the eater you say? Sure, the eater helps out now and then, but I can tell she isn’t all that thrilled about cooking most of [...]
Some growing pains… 2008-11-06 13:15:01 I am aware that some of the posts aren’t displaying properly with the new theme. I am doing my best to edit each post manually to make them more readable. The good news is I can now post photos that are nearly double the size. Please bear with me as I continue to update…
Pork Roulade, with my apprentice 2008-11-03 20:00:31 Juicy pork roast, sweet pea greens, creamy goat cheese, and crunchy walnuts. How could this be better? How about adding a pomegranate pan sauce and some roasted potatoes? Yeah, I thought so.
Pizza!!! (slightly daring) 2008-10-29 20:34:20 Pizza: The ultimate comfort food.
This month the Daring Bakers tackle pizza making. This isn’t anything new to me, one of my first posts was pizza making (I even threw the dough!). The rules are a little slack this month: use the recipe provided, get a picture of yourself throwing the dough, and top it with [...] Read more:Pizza
The Incredible Stretching Dough 2008-10-25 14:25:49 Strudel is a magical dough. Some flour, a little bit of water, a touch of butter kneaded together into an unassuming dough. You would never know that this little lump of dough would be able to amount to so much, and then you stretch it. You pull the dough to, what you believe, is the [...] Read more:Incredible

roasty toasty 2008-10-17 11:04:10 (apologizes for the picture quality, I don’t know what happened. I shopped them the best I could)
Another week, another lesson for the apprentice. What was on the menu? Roasting!
Roasting has got to be one of the best kept secrets of chefs. Complex flavors, beautiful colors, a myriad of textures, all taken care of by the [...]

Melonpan 2008-11-17 15:54:59 I’m not sure where I learned about melonpan, but it was probably on a blog just like this one. I probably stumble on the recipe and just decided to make it one day.
Melonpan is a sweet Japanese bread covered with a crisp cookie crust. The tops are scored into a cross-hatch pattern to simulate the [...]
